Re: resizing

Hello Jane,

>i am getting ready to print my images on 17 x 22 paper.
>the file size is 240 resolution , width 14.4 height 9.6
>how can i resize it to fit the paper to make it as sharp 
>as possible?

I suggest to go ahead and print it at 240.  You may find it's just
fine that way.  Then if you think it could be improved you could try
one of the different approaches to resizing and you'll have the
original 240 version to compare with the others.  You could start with
the bicubic one in Photoshop (be sure to do the experiments on a copy
of the original file), and then try one of the other commercial
products the other guys mentioned.  If they have demo versions maybe
you could try them and compare all the versions to see which one you
like the best.

It's worth the extra effort to do this the first time because you will
then know from your own experience what the differences are.  I'm sure
others here will be interested in what you find out, I know I will be. 


Regards,
Clayton
