Re: Questions about Genuine Fractals

[byard pidgeon <bluedove@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK Laurie, I'll try to clarify...I am trying to ascertain whether GF will do
what I will be needing to do: allow me to make large format giclee prints
from 35mm slides (larger than one could expect to do without
interpolation/enlarging).

Is GF a better solution than making several incremental up-interps in
Photoshop, for instance? (My large format instructor, who made gorgeous
prints on older gear, used incremental PS interpolations).

Color management shouldn't be a problem, as I will be working in my own
system, initial input through final output.

I'll buy GF if it will do a better job...don't have it yet.

Thanks again
