Scott, I just came across an article on image upsizing utilities entitled "Pumping Pixels" at the PhotoAim website (www.photoaim.com/index.php). It is written by 2 Oregon-based photographers who took the time to test several programs, including Adobe CS2, Adobe Camera Raw, Genuine Fractals, InterpolateTHIS and Miranda's ResizePro. They cover their test methods and results -- ResizePro worked best for them. I'm sure there are other upsizing/uprezing programs out there worthy of review as well, and I'd love to see the info when it hits the web (hint hint 8>) because I'm looking to buy one also. Incidently, the buzz I've come across about Corel PSP X and beyond is that downsizing works well, but upsizing can become blocky very quickly -- the last thing you need in images for customers, photo buyers and editors! Hope this helps. ~BB
