Re: Digital Pt/Pd tones continued
Craig,
While I have never used an output from a film recoder, I would be very
cautious about enlarging an image from a digital device. My experience
suggests that all digital devices at most lower resolutions will show some
kind of a line pattern which will be significantly more obvious once
enlarged.
If I may paraphrase the statement of others here on the list, those digital
devices that don't show lines (ie, a more traditional continuous tone) have
introduced information into the image to mask the lines. This thought gets
kind of blurry at the higher image resolutions - so I can't be sure.
If you try it, please don't hesitate to report the results. I would be more
than curious.
Nick
