The difference is so slight and I doubt if it would make any difference if going to print. I've also used the Extensis Pixl Smart software (plug in) enlarged to the same size as the maximum size in Adobe raw (CS) and once again, no visible difference when viewed.
interpolation available in the Photoshop CS raw import. Does anyone have any
comments or references as to how good this is for different types of images,
say compared with other interpolation methods?
As for how far can you interpolate, we have just been working on some pics for a forthcoming exhibition, the raw file from a D1X interpolated to the maximum in Adobe raw (all done in 16 bit + manipulations) and then increased to the final size using the Extensis software, output in 8 bit, 300dpi...the print is 4 foot long...I'm amazed by the quality! (from approx 16mb to 180mb).... I now have a 1Ds and have just shot a job
before Christmas where the 31mb converted raw tiff where cropped square and
then interpolated to 75mb no problem.
I hope this helps
Happy New Year
Rob.
