Anyone got any experience of exporting tiffs from SPP as double size in order to print at A2 size?
I suppose it shows how little attention I have paid to SPP, but I have only just noticed that one of the options is to save the files at double size.
I am planning on trying a number of A2 prints from my DP2M. My normal workflow is to get a same sized 16 bit tiff out of SPP and into LR4. In LR4 the same sized tiff at A2 size shows a ppi of just over 200. The double sized tiff is just over 400ppi.
According to Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe's tutorials on LR4 the optimum workflow is - if above 180ppi set the resolution in LR to 360 (I am using an Epson 3880) and if above 360 then set the resolution to 720.
My question is whether SPP does a better job of up-rezzing than LR and whether for larger prints I am better off exporting as double size or just use the same sized tiff. I am well aware that the only real way of answering this is to try both methods myself, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience and could offer any observations.
Thanks
