Yes. I worked without resampling the image up until I began to encounter patterning. Like I said, it doesn't show up all that often, but when it does, it's ugly. We've experienced the pattern now with both the 7500 and our old 1200. Every time it has been with plaid or patterned shirts in group shots. Also, and this may be important, most times it has been with files brought to us by our customers that they've sized to 300 dpi. Bumping them up to 360 has eliminated the problem in every case. I cannot recall having this problem at a resolution such as 750ppi. > Congratulations on the 75/2.8 purchase. I anxiously await your > appraisal.

Technically I still have money left over from the sale of my 4x5 (I got $1500 CDN for it), though I don't know exactly where that money is right now. ;) First look at the three rolls of film I processed yesterday was quite promising. I'll have to get the big loupe on 'em today, or scan 'em up...or just process some more. As is my habit, I process the rolls that I have the least hope for first. I should get to some exciting ones today. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
