Digital BW, The Print

I am a big fan of Perfect Resize. In fact, my use of the software goes 
all the way back to the original version of Genuine Fractals. That said, 
I do not care for the sharpening function of Perfect Resize. The advice 
to sharpen in Photoshop is sound, as well as keeping an unsharpened copy 
of the original and the enlarged file. Sharpening in Photoshop also 
gives you the option to "fade sharpening." Sharpening should be the last 
thing you do before a final save --- which would preclude sharpening 
while enlarging.
