The RAW converter has everything to do with the subject at hand. It's impossible to get a 13 x 19, 300 dpi image from a 15 meg file without interpolation. When you open a digital file in the RAW converter, you have the option of interpolating to a larger size. Thus, I asked Bob if that's what he was doing. Otherwise, his numbers don't add up. No apples and oranges. Just common sense.
