Bob, I've seen a few 16x20 prints made from a Pentax DSLR. I don't know exactly how it was upsized-uprezzed, but I found it unacceptable - too soft and lacking in detail. However, a few other people saw it at the same time, one or two found it OK, but all agreed it looks best if viewed from an appropriate distance - some multiple of print size or dimension. Unfortunately, one doesn't always have such viewing options when a print is on the wall in a gallery or up for viewing somewhere. Unfortunate, also, is that talking about what looks good on a mailing list is useless ...what's good or acceptable to one person is crap to someone else.
Fortunately, there are numerous ways to upsize/uprez an image and many ways to have it printed. You've just gotta see the results for yourself to determine what works for you, and for the individual print. Certain photos handle enlargement better than others, too, > [Original Message] > From: Bob W < > Thanks.
