Laurie,

What dpi do you print at that you would need genuine fractals for an 8x10?

Or, you must crop a lot!

My 13x19 in prints were >200dpi without interpolation. While I can't add
more detail to the images, I certainly don't see any pixels in the prints
that might require interpolation.

Of course my prints from 6x9 film has much more resolution scanned at
4000dpi, but the old scans from 35mm at 2700dpi look as sharp as optical
enlargements from 35mm film at sizes that I can print.
