sorry, i thought we were past this
i gotta ya, totally , ribit
but what process - order and everything - do YOU go through to get that image to be 20inx10in at 300 dpi

I rarely need to do that. (Most of our incoming images are shot at like 2000-3000 pixels wide, and we mainky do web stuff anyway).
But most people recommend th ePhotosho plugin SmartScale I think

Its been discussed a lot on here, try Find too... there's a few suggestions for doing it manually....resizing with different settings in Photoshop (using nearest neighbour instead of bicubic), and running sharpen filters...

thx ribit - good link too
i had searched but found little - maybe my searching technique
i'm surprised more people don't have opinions on this sort of thing

I think there are only really a couple of right ways to do it: plugins like Smart Scale... or a combination of resampling technique and sharpening filters
You will find a few different opinions on the manual triicks though, sometimes with quite a few steps involved...
Best thing though is to source larger images! Often its a case of making sure you rsupplier knows what you need, or buying decent size images to avoid all this in the first place...

great
any thoughts as to what YOU would do in situations like that
would you use third party scaling software ?
play with resampling settings ?
any ideas are welcome - the whole reason i started this thread
;)

can't you just create a blank new file with the document dimensions and resolution (300) that u want and then drag the original digital cam pic into that window? if the pic shrinks smaller than your desire dimension size then, yeah i have no clue how to answer that, but this thread has been informative, thanks.

My first response would probably be to print the image at the desired size and see what it looks like... forgetting trying to acheive any particular dpi.
Depends how close you are going to be standing to this 20" wide image.
