No Doug, but..

Once an image is in the digital domain the aberrations introduced in 
transformations are predictable and controllable i.e. they are a function of 
the algorithm used to facilitate the digital enlargement. No optical system 
like aberrations are introduced through digital scaling. Also most of the new 
scanners seem to incorporate some pretty advanced optics and they need to be to 
truly record resolutions of 4000dpi and above from film.
