Bart,
It has been a few years since I tried my experiment. I think my basis for comparison was whatever the current version of Genuine Fractals was at the time. These scaling programs may well have improved greatly since I did my test. What would you suggest as a SOTA pre-printing scaling application or plug-in? A lot of these programs have a trial or demo mode, which will let me run my experiment again. My criteria is very simple--if I can see an improvement in the final print with a scaling program or plug-in, I'll probably buy it, if the price is fair. If I can't see a difference, then I'll stick to the simple method.
Thanks. I guess this thread has drifted a bit, but since I started it, I'm not griping.
