If Patrick was up for it, I could send you the larger PDF (112MB) and you could have the updated version at good, printable resolution. I just wouldn't want to subvert what he's doing for the greater tree community....

Two words, one BIG: THANK YOU!

I haven't tried BlowUp, but I have used Genuine Fractals, SI Pro, and a couple other tools to up-size images that are low resolution, generally for offset printing work. Otherwise, Photoshop's Bicubic interpolation is generally fine for resizing photos bound for online work. For these images in...

In this case, I'm hoping you can judge a book by the cover! I haven't heard from Patrick since Tuesday, but this site was down for a period yesterday/today -- I've sent him word via this thread, PM, and his Educated Climber e-mail. Revised PDF is in his hands, as well as available to Jerry. So...

I was hoping you would check my work via Patrick before so generously fulfilling your promise. I want you to be totally satisfied that it's an improvement! (And again, I see this as a 2 step process; this is Step 1. The best is yet to come!)

I won't be able to get him the new file till tonight -- rolling out the door to work now. So wait to buy till tomorrow...

Okay, I've done my bit. Now back to Patrick. I'm looking at it as a Revision 1 -- much better contrast in the photos and text, making all the photos look less gray and washed out -- sharper, crisper, punchier. However, I was a bit disappointed in the resolution I was working from, as you could...

Had a good interchange with Patrick, he has made the digital file available to me. Work has begun!

There was a tendency in the past when preparing halftones, particularly B&W (gray) photographic images, to keep a rather open halftone, slavishly linear -- even leaving the photo paper itself as a light gray. This makes a lot of images look washed out and not very contrasty. The true goal should...

I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve, but for these quick sample images, I simply did curves, light luminosity channel blending, and hiraloam (high radius, low amount) sharpening.

A suggestion (and an offer) Note: My background is originally in graphic design and print production -- my degree is Associates of Graphic Design and I worked for a magazine in the '90s and a print shop in the 2000s for about 15 years. Since this is an instructional work, I would think that...
