I think there is an assumption going on that a 100 or 200 percent view
of an image detail is significant and what you will see on a print. It
is standard procedure to sharpen an image till it looks a little
"crunchy" before printing because the printing process softens the
image. In addition, many of the glaring differences we are talking
about will disappear when you choose 150 to 250 dpi printing
resolution. As for how it looks on the screen the differences also
disappear when reduced to viewing size.
