hi all...i am new to digital and have what might be a basic question. i am currently shooting with the original rebel (and contemplating upgrading to the canon 5d). i recently had a 16x20 made from a raw file from the rebel. i did nothing to it except convert it to a jpg, and take it to be printed. the result was ok, not great. at first glance it is fine, but there is definately digital noise visible. is this bc i should have done something in post processing different? is it bc my file was not big enough from the 6 mp rebel to make a 16x20? is there a specific way to enlarge it that i should have done before sending it to be printed? help!
as i said, i am contemplating the 5d, but it is a big investment, and want to make sure that i dont have similar probs enlarging with those files. i want to know what i am doing! if anyone can fill me in, or direct me to an easy to digest book/article/workshop, let me know. thanks in advance! leorah
