Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

I've done head-to-head comparisons between Genuine Fractals (3.0), 
pxlSmartScale, Fred Miranda's SI plugin, PS Bicubic, Lanzcos and probably a 
couple I've forgotten. My testing has led me to the conclusion that small 
incremental steps in PS is as good as or better than anything else out 
there. There is some disagreement as to exactly what the increments should 
be, but good 'ole PS Bicubic will get you where you need. If you want a more 
automated solution, take a look a Fred's SI plugin.

Hope this helps.

Alan Huntley

Subject: [Digital BW] 10% Bicubic verses Camera Raw plug-in interpolation


I was wondering if anyone has done an A-B comparison between
Photoshops 10% Bicubic
interpolation verses Photoshops Camera Raw plug-in. I am about to
print several digital
files large and am curious about the best way to do the interpolation.

Also if there is a third party product out there that you think does
a better job than
photoshop I am interested in hearing about that also, especially if
you have done a side by
side comparison of all three methods.

Thanks

Steve
