Okay. So I've tried it and it works fine. It certainly is faster -- by
an order of magnitude at least. I have a lot to do and this will make
life much easier. Now I need to know why its better.

Recently I discovered and used the raw converter for upsizing istDS files.
It works very well, and the results seem to be quite good. It's certainly
worth looking into by anyone wishing to upsize their images. I'd certainly
suggest trying the raw converter before spendy any money on another program.

A resize such as you describe is better done during the RAW conversion
in one step.

I have been using Genuine Fractals on *ist D files recently; resizing
from about 3000 pixels wide to 5110 in five steps. The final file size
is usually just under 50 mbytes depending on initial cropping. I do
all the processing -- levels curves or whatever first, then resize and
might finally apply a touch of unsharp masking. Typical steps 3455,
3865, 4280, 4695 and 5110. The files are finally saved as TIFF without
compression. Although I have no experience of LZW I've heard that its
not a good idea.
