----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Walters" Subject: Upsizing Images
Hi all Bill and Doug mentioned (in another thread) about upsizing cropped images. I've been looking at some of the dedicated software packages that claim to be able to upsize while maintaining good quality and, for my needs (upsizing by 50-100%) I find it difficult to notice much difference between them and the standard bicubic algorithm in Photoshop, when applied stepwise in (say) 10% increments. Perhaps differences may show up with enlargements beyond 100%. Just wondering whether anyone has come to any conclusions regarding the best way to do moderate upsizing. Also, I've read that applying a small degree of sharpening during stepwise upsizing can help maintain quality but I can't find any details of how much and how often sharpening should be applied. Has anyone tried this? The only time I upsize a file is to make a large print. The only way I look at a large print is from a distance. Having said that, I use Bicubic Smoother, and I don't fret about if it is the best way. It works for me.
