So all the theory about how you can't get something from nothing goes down the drain. The technique simply works. And a good tools for making huge prints is Qimage, which comes with a whole slew of upsampling routines, including bicubic, but also significantly better ones. And all for about 50 bucks with free upgrades forever. -dan c. At 10:08 PM 24-10-04 -0700, Frank Filippone wrote: >Or think up your own pixels and insert.
