Anybody using Genuine Fractals as a way to up sample images? My scanner
provides very high resolution compared to my (current) digital camera, but
there are times when I have taken an image with the digital camera that I

I have a Polaroid Sprintscan 4000+ . It has become invisible to my
computer. My Mac (G-4, OS 10.2.8 running Photoshop 7) can't recognize
that it is connected, either to firewire which I've always used or to
USB. I've contacted Polaroid tech support and their things for me to
try haven't come up
I use the program frequently; and find that for most upsampling within the
normal ranges, it is not all that much different from Photoshop's Bicubic
methods. It is in the extreme ranges of upsampling that the difference may
begin to appe arandGFmaybegintoshine.
What I do not understand is,
Hi,
Sometime ago some one here was kind enough to get the instructions for
cleaning a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 - it was probably Tony. The
instructions were originally posted by Thomas Maugham about 2 years ago and
they are excellent.
Two things surprised me when I got into the scanner. First,
Hello,
I have about 1000 - 2000 framed slides that I like to archive in digital
form.
Plastic frames, no glass. Partly Agpha amateur slide film partly Koda
Ektachrom, partly Fuji.
Quality of the scanned slides should be good enough for A3 prints.
I have tried this already a few years ago with an
I had the same problem with my Sprintscan 120 for quite a while and
while it lasted it was maddening. Often I could get the computer to
recognize the scanner by disconnecting and reconnecting the Firewire
attachment. Sometimes starting and restarting the computer did the
trick. Finally a tech

As it happens, I can get a pretty good 8X10 from such a file, but
then I go to 12X18 (if I can live with no cropping),

Paul,
If you overuse it, say beyond 4X in each dimension, it starts to look
artificial
I think if you overuse any tool, it starts to look artificial; but that
being said, I think that your 4x guideline needs to be qualified by the
proviso that it depends on the type and content of the image. As

I have even seen comparisions of sections of 35mm images blown
up to billboard size by GF and Photoshop where GF has come out ahead in
terms of lower numbers of artifacts and averaging errors.
Just to clarify, though... this refers to pre-CS versions of PS
Yes, the tests were done prior to PSCS and I know of none done since. I am
not sure if Adobe made significant improvements to the basic Bicubic
formulation as much as they made its implementation more sophisticated by
furnishing two subtle variations on the basic formulation. As in the past,
