Re: Upsize Report - Sam

Clayton, I keep meaning to reply to you but keep forgeting... I've not read the whole thread 
real carefully. But you have been mentioning PSCS bicubic. When resing up, be sure and use 
the newer bicubic smoother option. For the first time I can see it doing a slightly better job 
than my RIP when scaling.
I just completed another test, I resed up way more than I needed with Bicubic smoother, then 
ran Noise Ninja (use carefully) which smooths and sharpens, then resed back down to exact 
print size @ 360dpi using bicubic sharper.
Considering the quality of the original, I was extremely impressed with the result on paper.

Try those smoother and sharper options with bicubic, some impressive options. Also, I'm told 
the smoother option renders the old stairstep procedures obselete.
