That would Pictopia's own interpolation software they use on their digital
printing machines wouldn't it? On the topic of interpolation, I have always
heard it best to leave the "upsampling" to the lab for this very
reason--they have proprietary software from the manufacturers of the
printing equipment that is optimal for that printer. I believe Pictopia uses
Lightjet, do they not?
I have not yet tried them, but am told they are a very good lab.
Mike, you're exactly right. They use their own propeitary
interpolation software for enlargments; and yes, I think it is best
to leave upsampling to these guys. I am pretty sure they do their
printing on a LightJet. I am going to have them do a big print for me
from the D60, just to see what it is capable of. Mike Doran thinks
very highly of them.
I think you could have made a that print from your E10 larger than
11X14 quite easily. You should see the large print I've seen from
Reed's in Walnut Creek that was from an E10. The resolution and
sharpness were just incredible.
Looking forward to seeing you in about a month! Merry Christmas!
-Stephen.
