I have images that were cropped to 5x7 in editing. I want to make some 11x14 or larger prints. Should I re-edit the raw files or resize the jpeg for best results?

What i mean is, after re sizing and printing, ill just delete that (printed) version.. i save the original as a TIFF and a copy as JPEG which goes to my website and also in a folder i keep all the images that are on the site in for referance. so i end up with.... the orig. RAW, a full rez copy in TIFF, a Jpeg on my site and a copy in the site folder on my Desktop...lol a bit excessive? not really. http://www.theanimalhaven.com

You taught me something else I didn't know, about the JPEG loosing quality over copies.

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Feb 19, 2007 11:11 | #7 I always keep the RAW files and then resize in JPEG and save in different folders, one for archive, one for printing and one for posting. It takes up a lot of room, but I only process a small percentage of the shots I print. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!
