Digital BW, The Print

I've used it for some time.  It seems to work well, in that I don't see any
issues with the enlarged prints compared to the original, in terms of
tonality or sharpness.   However, I'm using it for moderate enlargement, say
a  8x12" 300ppi print enlarged to 12x18 at 300ppi.  I don't have any
experience with huge enlargements.  Two comments:  It is slow, especially
with 16-bit files, but then my PC is older.  Secondly, you'll want to
enlarge an unsharpened image, then do all sharpening as the final step
before printing.  GF also offers a compressed file mode, but I've never used
it.
