upping resolution w/CS2

Hi all,
Which would give better results…using CS2 to up res the images or buying Genuine Fractals. I only want to push my images a bit…I get really crisp 11×14’s from my Canon 20D and am looking to go 16×20 and, if the ad-hype is correct 20×24.
According to Genuine Fractals you can get 400 percent
enlargements…but what
is that based on…starting from what…an inch square or ten inches square….if anyone has any examples of such up resing, pls direct me to
where I can see them or pls share your experiences with this question. Thanks
Frank
also , someone mentioned a group on google that addresses digital printing…please pass that on also.
thanks again

I have found that Photoshop is as good as anything else – just my humble opinion. For the increase you are looking for to 16 x 20 do it in 3 or 4 steps.

Looked at the examples at Photozoom
for the same effect in Photoshop just use unsharp mask after you blow it way up like that.

Good guess. Use CS2 – and in one single step.
That is why we have Bicubic Smoother for.
