Digital BW, The Print

I'll tell you I just downloaded Stair Step Interpolation Pro 2 from
the fred miranda dot com site and this software just gets better and
better each version. For about $25 bucks you simply can't beat it.
He's added some new features like noise reduction for digital camera
files. It's so easy and inexpensive. I've done blow ups like 40"x60"
on canvas from drum scans of 35mm negs that I just shouldn't have been
able to pull off but could with the previous version. I can't
recommend it highly enough for 20D files. I never like the artifacts
that Genuine Fractals produced. I got better results from Bicubic
Photoshop upsampling.
