I saw the psd test, for my eyes both looks pretty much the same.
#Photozoom pro 5 reviews software#
I'll do a comparison with all the other time software mentioned in this discussion. Maybe there are algorithms that read the edges and make a selective interpolation of these pixels.Īlthough I am not an expert, I would say the best is still the variation of S-Spline created by the PhotoZoom, the S-Spline Max. What anti-aliasing filters are doing is only give smooth the edges and then putting sharpen with a large radius, giving the feeling of being less aliasing, which is actually a lie. He analyzes the pixels and creates 256 others, ie, retains all the details. What I meant by the test that asked them to look at was that, although there are many excellent software, today none can compete with the algorithm "Smooth-Spline" that is scientifically superior. For example: bicubic analyzes four pixels around and creates a new pixel around these. If we read about algorithms, we see that there are different way to work with the image.

#Photozoom pro 5 reviews trial#
You can trial or purchase PhotoZoom Pro 4 from BenaVista’s website. But sadly I don’t, and anyone else who doesn’t would be better advised to spend their money on either PhotoZoom Pro’s little brother, PhotoZoom Classic, or Photoshop Elements (thereby getting a great image editor also). In comparison to Photoshop’s inbuilt upscaling (remembering that Elements can be bought for around £45/$70), PhotoZoom’s capabilities are mostly theoretical – if you need to put your image on the side of the Chrysler Building (PhotoZoom Pro can enlarge images “up to 1 million by 1 million pixels”) then PhotoZoom looks like a good investment. At £149/$219, however, this is a Pro-aimed app, and those wanting to make their phone snaps bigger should look elsewhere.
In terms of the app’s operation, there is nothing I can complain about. PhotoZoom Pro 4 produces impressive results, is easy to use, and the plug-in/app option is a bonus. If you have a DSLR and you shoot in Raw, however, this kind of enlargement shouldn’t be necessary, unless you have designs on covering an entire outside wall of your property with the image.
I wouldn’t recommend printing the image at the official print size (not that I ever do…), not least because at this enlargement, some detail is lost when viewed at 100%. Surprisingly, even at 200%, the image looks okay. Large print of your Grandmother’s dog for her Small enlargements seem to have no discernible effect on image quality, whilst the results when an image is enlarged to 150% are respectable stock library standard? Maybe. First impressions suggest that whatever S-Spline may be, it helps – this app certainly holds its own compared to other resizers. PhotoZoom Pro 4 claims to beat all of the standard resizing methods mentioned above, aided by its “patented S-Spline algorithm” – no, I don’t know what that means either (anyone brave enough can view the basics on Wikipedia). BenaVista hopes that some may turn to their own contender in this market, PhotoZoom Pro, which (as a package) can be used both as a standalone app and photoshop plug-in resizer. Photoshop is often used, mostly due to its already prominent place in most photographers’ workflows, whilst hardcore upscalers invest in Genuine Fractals (now known as Perfect Resize). But sure enough, for whatever reason, all photographers at some point need to play around with digital image sizing. For others, it’s before a large print is made of the image. For some photographers, the need to enlarge an image comes before uploading to a stock library.
