Genuine Fractals Resizing for printing?

2010-10-29 by Paul

(I hope this is not too far off the forum's scope.)

In searching for the best way to make the sharpest print I can, I've taken a quick look at Genuine Fractals re-sizing software.  

I think it may do a better job of up-sizing images to 720 dpi for printing than if left to the printer software. 

A comparison sample of image files is here:

In the past I've thought that GF preserves edges better than the alternatives, but I have not done a recent survey of the alternatives.  The GF image in the sample, above, does look better to me than the bicubic method, which is what I'd guess printer software uses.
