Just another one of the blow ups
Couple of questons.
1. Where do you get your prints made? What printer is used and
what do they charge for the prints.
2. Any chance you'd share your action, or at least talk about how
you accomplish it? I have GF, but one problem is many of the
commercial labs don't support stn file types...
Thanks
Hi, I have in front of me three 30x40" blow ups from the D30, I
have printed dozens this large and have been impressed with
everyone so far. I have created my own actions in PS6.0 to
upsample that i find better then Bicubic and maybe better then GF
as well. I usually print off of 311 MB files, so my one question
to you is can the 1D deliver the same quality file and smooth blow
up potential as the D30 has, I know the value of the 1V body I
still have two 1VHS's that are sitting unused for over a year, but
what about the final image quality? I keep hearing about banding,
I sometimes see a sharp (grainlike) quality that may begin to
pixelate at large blow ups like the D1 and even some D1x files I
have played with. At the moment I am only shooting D30 and hassy
slides, 35mm is a dead format for me, but should I be buying the
1D or waiting for the next alternative? have you any examples shot
of the same subject under the same conditions from both?

Just one of the blow ups
I have uploaded the actions (avtually one is to 100 megs one is to
311 megs and one is for exxcellent 9x12'S which is the standard
format I use for model portfolios) The link below will let you
download the action usually to
adobe> photoshop6.0> presets> photoshopactions its called
myinterpolation2a.atn you can change the name, the indeivdual
actions say to 100megs, to 300megs and to 9x12 all are at 300dpi
and all are based on an original d30 file either full frame or
cropped to 9x12 proportionally. I would warn that these actions
take a while depending on the speed of your system, also they are
purging the history a few times throughout to save space and time,
and i would reccommend that you do this as the almost last step
after merging to only one layer (mulitiple layers at 311 megs is a
very large file to deal with) you should do everything ecept
sharpen before running these actions, the 9x12 actually does
oversize then blur the pixels then sharpen and reduce size but the
others do no sharpening at all so as to leave the final amount of
sharpening up to the individual picture. Hope they work well for
you all.
If you have any questions feel free to email me through the site or
this forum.

The more I use my EOS 1D the more amazed I am, there truly is no equal!
