Oh, and one more thing.
Here:
http://groups.google.com.au/group/rec.photo.equipment.35mm/msg/c164f128a07655a7
it is revealed that Douglas (posting as 'Julian', but we won't tell
anyone) was ripped off by Fred Miranda.
Julian states:
> Doug pioneered Interpolation (enlargement) of digital images in
> Australia. His early efforts (before Genuine Fractals ever existed)
> are still used today by the likes of "Fred Miranda" who markets the
> exact same process Doug invented under the description of "stair
> Interpolation". Later mathematical algorithms Doug and his Daughter
> developed, resulted in several leading (mostly American) photographers
> adopting his enlargement process.
Someone should tell Fred, I guess, and ask him to pay Douggie his
dues.
And remember, every time you "stair Interpolate" (I think the
capitalisation is a trademark..), it's all because of Doug.
Is there some reason that every time I see Doug's name, I think of Dr
Evil? Maybe it's the "use" of "quotations", maybe it's just the whole
deal..
Doug's achievements are the stuff of legend - I may dig up a few more
if anyone is interested..
