The 30x40 prints I have had made from the E-M1 were captured with the 12-40mm f2.8 and I did no kind of special re-sizing. Just loaded the jpegs processed from raw to my Smugmug account and ordered the prints.

Beyond a certain print size (I think 10x15) the lab does its own interpolation of files before printing so any "other" work I might have done could have just gotten in the way of how they (and most labs I believe) do this kind of large printing.

They do, and I heard a few times that the algorithms in their printers are actually superior than the resizing tools in Photoshop.

But Adobe has introduced a new resize method in their newest versions, called Preserve Details 2.0, which uses AI to add the extra pixels with real information (collected from a database of real photos) On screen it seems to do a superb job when compared with older resizing methods, so I thoughts I give it a try.

It would have been interesting to print 2, one with the resizing done in PS, like I did, but also one where I would let the lab do their thing. The print wasn't cheap though so I guess I'll keep living wondering

If you are really interested in a print comparison then just crop and make a couple of inexpensive 8x10 prints.
