Extensis SmartScale Released
You have two options when you want to want to make big prints of your photos. Either lower the dpi to obtain a larger print size and accept a loss of quality. Or try to interpolate up in size using Photoshop or another image editor, which can lead to artifacts and loss of sharpness.
SmartScale is a new Adobe Photoshop plug-in from Extensis that claims to be able to “Scale images up to 1600% with no discernable loss in printed quality”. You can preview different scaling options in real-time and refine the quality of your scaled image by controlling the overall sharpness, edge contrast and edge detail. At $199 it’s perhaps a little on the expensive side for home-users, and unfortunately there’s no trial version available to test it out.

Come one Mark, try and keep up, this news was released back on the 10th, see: http://dp-now.com/archives/000150.html and there's UK pricing there too
Seriously, you're doing a great job - getting stories we miss too. We'll have to do something about that! lol

In my defence I only received an email about this on Saturday!
We'll have to work out some kind of deal for those stories that you're missing
