Upsizing D30 files to A3+ |
|
Here's my workflow to upsize my D30 RAW files to A3+ using Fred Miranda's D30 LinearBATCH_pro 16-bit v1.2 and Pekka Saarinen's LinearSharpen 3.42 . The RAW files were converted to TIFF Linear 16bits with Yarc+ . Settings for the LS file were Chooser 100-200 Normal Sharpening HQ and AfterShave 1 . Settings for LP were Normal Saturation , Normal Sharpening in RGB output . All files had Auto Contrast and the Curves were adjusted the exactly same way . The files were upsampled with Stair Interpolation , PhotoShop , Stephen's My Interpolation for D30 and Michael Thomas Mitchel Print Action at 300 dpi . As obtained files were ( except the PS upsizing which was exactly 13x19 inches ) bigger ( Stephen's : 16x24 inches ) or smaller ( M.T.Mitchell : 11x16.5 inches ) , They were upsized or downsized with PS to be set to the same dimensions . After conversion to 8bits , they were sharpened with J.J. Mack's Sharpen action . The cropped ( 100% ) part of the pictures was transformed to JPEG at 50% for publishing .
PS processed fastest while Michael T.Mitchell's action was by far the slowest , probably due to the many steps it makes to enlarge gradually .
