Sure, I don't have anything against GF; it's just another 
interpolation scheme and may work better on some images than 
others... if I had to interpolate images all the time I would 
probably spend the $150 on GF just to have another "big button" 
option.

used SI for most of my interpolation needs. But, then, when GF 3.0 
came out I retested--using the same images as before--and found that 
I liked GF's results a little better. I switched back to GF...for now.

version is fine for inkjet work.
