Qimage lets you input your desired print size and then it uses its own resampling algorithms and upsamples your image to your chosen print size at your printer's native (hardware) resolution. It also applies output sharpening, if desired, and does a good enough job that I've always let the software handle it. See their web page at http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/ for details. It is also good for batch printing, especially if you want to print multiple images at various sizes on a single sheet of paper. Personally, I don't use it for this purpose but if you wanted to print, say, a couple of 4x6 shots, an 8x10 and some 5x7's of assorted images (or the same image) on a single Super-B sheet it would be a huge time saver. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
