I recently made 30x40 cm (12x16 inch) from 6mp files from a digicam (it's a 3mp super ccd interpolating to 6mp), in Raw plus Noise Ninja, 17 mb tiff file, in a frontier machine, fuji chrystal archive paper. They look very good. You only see a small amount of noise at very close inspection, but they look great at normal viewing distance. (one of the pics is this: http://www.flaneur.com.ar) Regards
