Shel,
With all due respect, I have no reference to know what your quality
standards are. If you'd like to send me an example print, 11x17 to
16x20 inch in size, which demonstrates them, and a description of
what your criteria of judging its quality is, I would be delighted to
attempt to create a print that matches or exceeds those standards.
I would, of course, return your print unharmed and would pay for the
return shipping. :-)

When I see such a print that meets my standards using the technique
you've
described, I'll believe it. I've not seen anything approaching a
16x20 or
larger made from a 6mp Pentax camera that qualifies as "stunning"
by my
standards. I know that there are plug-ins and software that supposedly
provides great results. I've yet to see the results obtained using
such
software, therefore I am skeptical. However, based on the comments
people
on the list make about the quality of the images posted here (mine
included, BTW), I think I may be a bit more critical than most,
even with
my own photos and images.
Since grain, as I understand grain to be, doesn't exist in digital
photos,
I don't quite understand the reference.

In RAW format, I have made stunning quality 24"x36" prints, with no
grain or artifacts. Even the on-board Photoshop logarithm, you can
increase the file size quite substantially, although there are after
market plug-ins that do a better job. With the right plug-in, you can
rez up significantly further.
