 You also claimed that you
created a program that allowed you to create huge prints (30 by 36
inch) from one or two megabyte files that were sharp and clean of
artifacts. Then when you were called to the floor on it, you claimed
that everyone was out to get you and no one had any right to see how
you created the images.

You didn't have to provide the entire working
program, just enough information to show that it works. Then folks
would have been beating a path to your doorway to buy it.
   Yes this group is in "...disarray..." and not because of just Bret.

Well now Draco... It looks like you've been fed another load of stale 
bull****...

I actually provided Alan Browne with a 24" x 36" print of an enlargement I

made from a 10D file AND the 10D raw file for forensic verification. He 
challenged me when I claimed I could make an enlargement that size from
the 
10D image and it would rival a Medium format print.

To keep him honest in his appraisal of the enlargement, I insisted a 
recognized working professional also get an identical package. Alan 
nominated Gordon Moat from San Diego, a world recognized professional 
photographer specializing in medium format photography.

Part of what Gordon wrote:
"The initial test prints, and information, came from a company called
Techno 
Aussie. Two example prints were sent to me from Australia by Douglas 
MacDonald. Included was a short explanation of camera gear used, and the 
printer used. Techno Aussie use a proprietary upsizing algorithm to take 
small image files, and match them closer to larger printed output sizes.
The 
printer used for the images is an AGFA Sherpa, which is quite a good
system, 
though not the latest in technology. The cameras used to originate the
files 
for the test images were the Canon 10D and Canon 20D. The algorithm he 
developed and used pushed the files from 8 MP to around 50 MP (approx. 
printed output), and due to commercial reasons the specific aspects of the

algorithm are not available."

So quite apart from you being treated as a mushroom (kept in the dark and 
fed bull****) by your thieving mate, The truth is:

I did in fact respond to the challenge and as Gordon confirmed... Could do

exactly what I claimed to be able to do. Idiots like Charlie Stevens and 
Bret Douglas are so jealous of anyone who can do something they can't,
they 
set about to create a load of lies and defamation rather than accept a 
package of truth.

You know Drago... People who never amount to anything and live their lives

out in a fantasy, are the ones you really need to be wary of. Pricks like 
you associate yourself with have a habit of turning like rabid dogs and 
attacking you if you happen to point out their pictures are so heavily 
cropped and over worked, they have no commercial value... Bret Douglas
can't 
handle that truth so he shows his true colours and attacks anyone who
tells 
him.

When you want the truth, Bret Douglas is absolutely to wrong person to ask

for it. Alan Browne and me are like fire and water. I still think he'd
have 
no reason to lie if you asked his opinion about the enlargement package I 
sent him.

And yes... I get mighty pissed off at a couple of red necked idiots who 
refuse to accept any proof, (I offered to send the Chattanooga swine a 
poster) and then set about making mischief and engaging in criminal 
behaviour because they fear I might just be right. You have some nice
mates 
Draco... Watch you back mate.
