It came to me yesterday how to double the size of the output of my SA file. It's such a simple thing that I am amazed that I did not think of it before. I have been using a fractal software to enlarge files up to now.
I work at 150 dpi, 10x15". When I come to a version I like I save the template with all the layers and then the version I like. I then flatten the file and resize the canvas to a larger size at 300 dpi. The largest I have been able to get is usually around 18x27" at 300 dpi. .
Now I open the 150 dpi version and split into half using Photoshop and then resize each half independently in SA. Afterwards I can join the two halves together effortlessly in Photoshop with no seam line to get an image double the size with no quality loss....36x54" at 300 dpi.
This process can help everyone needing a larger file size.

I think I understand.. but why not just resize the 18x27 at 300 dpi created by SA, using photoshop.
Does SA have a better resizing algorithm?
Supersizer interpolation (one of the Studio Artist resizing interpolation options) is more sophisticated than the interpolation options available inside of Photoshop. I believe Paul likes the look of Supersizer, so that's why he's interested in working with it for resizing his artwork.
