Hi Gordon, If you're printing the image, you'd be amazed at what you can get away with by dropping the dpi of the image. You could drop it to 180 and still get fabulous results, which would increase the size of your image almost two-fold, getting you pretty close to your 60"x40" desired size. Of course, I'm assuming your source image is of high quality, coming from a drum scan or virtual drum scan. Then I would suggest up-sizing the image in 10% increments in Photoshop and you should be pretty close to your final size with reasonable results.

This query is about RGB scans made from film as opposed to images from digital cameras. For example, could an image scanned at 30" x 20" 300ppi be resized to 60" x 40" without significan loss of quality. I am aware that resizing images within Photoshop is best done in small increments, but what should these increments be to obtain optimum results? Is it possible to obtain better results by using a plug-in such as Genuine Fractals? =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
