I like my prints big. Paintings are big. Why not photos?
For this reason, I have an Epson 24" wide 7600. It's an ideal size for photos to be hung in one's living room.
But such large images need contrast enhancement and extra sharpening to look good.
The following image was converted in RSP with a moderate amount of 'detail enhancement' and a 'negative' sharpening. It was cropped to a more panoramic aspect ratio, saved in the STN Genuine Fractals format, then resized to 23.5"x40", resulting in a file size of 340mb at 360dpi.

Applying Focus Magic to this large file size resulted in further sharpening. Zooming in 100% on the 340mb image, I noticed the following sharpening halos.

Dear me! This is not good. I wonder if this will be noticeable on a large print (23.5"x40").
It's not noticeable in the slightest degree. Even with a jewelers' headband magnifying glass in conjunction with my most powerful reading glasses, these halos are 'hardly' noticeable.
Phew! That's a relief!
