Daniel,

I don't think PS CS will convert the MKII file RAW file yet will it? If you use the canon sofware to convert then use PS CS, image size, bicubic, resample checked, and increase the size in 10% increments until you get to the desired size, you should be happy with the results. Don't sharpen until after you've upsized. I know it uses a lot of CPU resources, but I try to do all this in 16 bit mode. Record it in an Action so you can just push a button next time.

If you need more details, let me know.

UPDATE:

Oh yeah baby! I just got the 16x20 last night and it is one fine print. Qimage did the job very nicely. The print looks just as sharp as the 8x10 I printed from my 2200.

If you've never tried a large Chromira glossy print, you don't know what you are missing. This one was for a customer but I'm having some other shots printed as displays (Got to show em' big to sell em' big)

I usually print 10x8. Many of my images are smaller than 10x8. Qimage does the upsizing for me on the Epson 2200. I will USM image in PS, flatten layers and save as. Qimage will apply a small amount of sharpening with the upsizing process which you can adjust. I have used nothing but Qimage for two years and I really like it.

I've even turned over all the sharpneing to Qimage. Under filters, there is a USM filter with a new sharpneing equalizer that works very, very nicely. Of course under interpolation there is the final sharpening adjustment as well.
