enlarge 35mm to 30x40

Hi

I am a color printer and I am attempting to enlarge a 35mm neg to a
30x40 c41 print. I am wondering if anyone out there has done this and
what are the results like?
Thanks


In days past I used a vacuum board to suck the paper flat when making
these size enlargements. Compared to Digital, there is no comparison
even at that size.

EOS my GOD,
Give me ISO for I have not yet seen the light.
Take away my grain, give me colour and you
shall have given me the edge!

Just checked, and only one message, so I sent a reply. The e-mail address
I use for news groups is heavily filtered, and I do not check it that
often. It is better to contact me through my website, in case you want a
professional answer, or something to do with a business inquiry.

Your attglobal address rejects my e-mail every time. Says it has a virus
attached (it doesn't / can't). I CC'd the same message to your other e-mail
address as well.

See below (rejected message).
Cheers,

Looks like that is one of the filters I created. However, if the message is below 30k,
it should have gone through. Most of these just hit on a key word, then the filter
activates.

Ciao!

Having had (way too much) experience at this I'll add in a few tips...

Much appreciated, and you are someone who should know this subject well.. . . . .

P.S. - Unless you are in love with larger sizes, think about "smaller sizes"
(like "only" 16x20" or less) as they are far less hassle to get sparkling
prints out of 35mm images the smaller you go.

Definitely agree with this. My normal print from 35 mm is 10" by 15". Even at that
size, it helps to have the best of everything to get the best results.



P.P.S. - AOL is discontinuing its newsgroup srvice for land lines soon so I may
not be able to post for a long? while until I can download a newsreader that
will work with my ancient operating system/computer so don't be surprised if I
someday soon am not able to reply for a long while...

The older Netscape 4.8 includes a news reader, and runs well with little RAM. It
might be quite a bit to download over a phone line, though you might be able to
set it to do so over night. They also offer a CD, but you need to pay for that. I
am using Netscape 4.8 for my news group postings.



I wish you success, some very fine, very large print(s)... and a large bank
account ;-), you'll probably need it ;-) :-).

Yeah . . . no kidding about the money. My fine art endeavours barely pay for
themselves.

The msg was just text, and quite short. Something about the filter seems to
believe there was a virus...

Let me know what the subject line stated, exact words. I might need to adjust that filter,
or eliminate it. Your e-mail might not be the only one not getting through.

Thanks!

The subject line was: "Finally did it!"

Could be the excl. mark?

Message size filtering set to "bytes" instead of "kilobytes". Oops! Should be correct now,
though nothing over 20 kb will get through.

The virus files do not affect Mac OS, but they are a pain to download on dial up, so that is
why they are blocked. Unfortunately, it might affect regular message traffic in some
situations. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You are right about that!
