Try starting off with 16-bit files and do as much as possible on those in 
Photoshop before converting to 8-bits.

Tom, you have the D30 confused with the 1D.

Jerry, it's the Fuji interpolated 6MP camera.

Helen-

I definitely might have the two mixed up... I read an article that 
hinted that that was why Fred started writing the software... 
Whatever the reasons, his stuff is very nicely done and not too 
expensive (unless you buy it all <g>).

Reminds me of that old movie, "Blowup."  The photographer solves a murder by 
repeatedly blowing up the tiniest section of a 35mm frame.  Each successive 
blowup gets clearer and sharper and more detailed.  Wonderful movie, but 
those of us in the know...

David Hemmings, wasn't it?  One of my all time favourite movies.  
Casts the B&W photographer as a hero.  I like that in a movie :-)

Especially since the color prints I've seen of late have faded 
dramatically. And in a film where director Antonioni went around 
repainting everything just so, including the grass in the park:-)

Of course modern chromogenic mono films like T-Max are colour films in 
disguise and have no better archive life than colour.

And don't resin-coated papers also have shorter lifetimes?

Back to that printer chiselling away at the granite slab idea...
