Digital BW, The Print

Steve: The raw file is like an electronic negative. Take those suckers as
big as you can with the raw plug-in @ 600 dpi. After they are, then convert
to 300 dpi WITHOUT bicubic on and they will double in size. If you need to
go very-very-very big, Genuine Fractals plug in will do the trick. This is
my humble opinion.

  The Pyramid interpolation is said to be very good.
