Could I trouble you for a copy as well?

  Hi Austin, have you ever used the SI software that was posted on the
  list about 2 weeks ago? In comparison with Genuine Fractals and Adobe
  bicubic upsampling, it gave sharper, more detailed results than either
  Genuine Fractals or Photoshop Bicubic. I tried it on several images, and
  it is better. Again, not by much, but enough to make it the upsizer of
  choice. I'll send you a copy if you'd like to try it. It is an action
  that upsamples the image many times in small increments. Hard to believe
  that could work, but it does. I always upsample my D-30 images to 36
  Megs or so for final use, then sharpen as much as I can, and then reduce
  that image if I ever need a smaller one.

  Regardless of the numbers say, the D-30 is capable of some very nice
  images up to 12x18 inches. And I'm very picky as you know, but probably
  not as picky as you are. And I also am willing to bet you have better
  eyesight than I do. It is rare to find someone who is that picky. That's
  a good thing, right?  Canon is releasing a 6 megapixel camera soon, that
  has a full size chip. a 17 mm lens will still be a 17mm lens. Wonder
  what THAT is going to cost?
