I'm looking into Genuine Fractals, but have a few questions on how it works with workflow. Do I do all my processing on the original, then convert it to a GF file which sits as my master and allows me to resize at will? After do I need to do further sharpening etc? Can GF cause gamut problems in its interpolation?
I am primarily looking to use this in Printing so do I want to look at the PrintPro version? Does anybody with experience think it is perfectly within reach to take a 6 MP RAW (3072x2048) to 30x40? When you resize, it is better to resize to a lower, but tolerable DPI like 200, or do you go for it and resize to 300 DPI for the size you want?
Lots of questions. Experiences would be great before I sink $150 into this.

Well Doc I don't have GF but I do have SI pro. I have used it to take my 6mp lightning shot and create a graphic for our SEMA trade show booth that was 123"x94" at 150 DPI that was fantastic and just this week I used it for an image that was made into a 18"x24" CMYK poster at 225 DPI that was run offset as a promo for a friends print shop with fantastic results. I haven't noticed any gamut problems and the plug-in runs in PS so there is no need to go outside PS.
I try to interpolate to the output DPI as in the cases stated above. I don't sharpen in SI pro. I still do that in PS.
Like I said I don't have GF but SI pro is $25.00 and has performed fantastic for me.
I know this info is not exactly what you asked for but I thought it might help.
If I were you I would try SI pro first before shelling out 150. But that's just me. :-)
