Alien Skin Blowup Released

[MattEg]

Blow Up offers the highest quality image resizing available, better than bicubic interpolation and any other third party solution. Blow Up makes advanced image scaling easy, preserves smooth, crisp edges and lines, and creates four times (1600% area) enlargements from any image without jagged artifacts or halos. In some cases, Blow Up can enlarge up to six times (3600% area) without obvious artifacts.

Blow Up includes advanced features such as photo grain controls, enlargement-specific sharpening, and support for most image modes, including CMYK. Blow Up also supports 16- and 32-bit images and is optimized for multi-core and multi-processor systems. These features make Blow Up perfect for a professional photographer creating gallery prints from digital photos, as well as an amateur photographer creating a poster from a favorite snapshot. Graphic designers can now easily scale Web graphics up to print resolution or rescale everyday images for large format printing and outdoor advertising.

Fractals Pro?

This Alien Skn one looks excellent.

Smart Scale is another one.

'Blowup' is supposed to be better than all current third party offerings.

Ah yes. Genuine Fractals it was.

This Blow Up looks fab!

Brilliant, now it's even easier for peopleto lift pics of them off your website and increase the resolution to make decent prints. Perhaps I should think about watermarking everything from now on.

So has anyone both this and Genuine Fractals? How do the two compare against each other?
