Austin,
Austin, you are not 100% correct. The posters I refer to were done by
an old Kodak digital body that I believe had maybe 3-4 MPs. Sometimes
math is not the solution. You see after you res up the image using
some commrecial programs that are unavailable to you or I directly,
even you could not tell the difference.
Where you are correct is in the average person's use of a 4MP image
file and trying to print it out on a Epson or HP inkjet. On that your
math does work.
As to the P& S statement I stand corrected as you noted Marc's comment.
Bet you are a fan of that new show on TV titled "Numbers." :-)
