Jens, I take it you think of three adjacent sensors in RGB. Before you measure lp/mm, you have to interpolate (Bayer) the data for each pixel with data from the adjacent sensors. John, (or Rob or anyone...) This may be a stupid question, but is the relationship between lp/mm and sensors as straightforward as "two adjacent sensors equal to one line pair, irrespective of sensor colour"? cheers, Jostein
