Blow Up includes advanced features such as photo grain controls, enlargement-specific sharpening, and support for most image modes. Blow Up also supports 16- and 32-bit images, is optimised for multi-core and multi-processor systems and works with most image modes, including CMYK. 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 favourite snapshot. Graphic designers can now easily scale Web graphics up to print resolution or rescale everyday images for large format printing and outdoor advertising. Reproduces crisp, high contrast lines and smooth edges Blow Up was designed to address the specific shortcomings of other image enlargement techniques. Blow Up beautifully reproduces crisp, high contrast lines and smooth edges. The jagged or stair step artefacts common to other scaling techniques are things of the past. Specifically created for image enlargement Easier to use than unsharp mask and specifically created for image enlargement, the sharpening in Blow Up targets only the loss of contrast along sharp edges. Note that Blow Up will not, however, correct blurriness caused by an unfocused original image. Simulates real film grain Extreme enlargements of some images can appear overly smooth or plastic. Blow Up tackles this problem with simulated film grain. The grain texture mimics film scans and can emulate photo details. Scale some photos and most logos up to 3600% Blow Up provides the best results when upsampling an image with smooth, well-defined edges and curves. Some of these images - including some photos, many illustrations and most product logos - can be scaled up to 3600% area without obvious distortion. Blow Up supports 16 and 32 bit images Advanced Image scaling made easy Preserves smooth, crisp edges and lines Creates four times enlargements from any image without jagged artefacts Perfect for photographers creating gallery prints from digital photos Great for amateur photographers creating posters from snapshots
