GF does a somewhat better job of preserving edge sharpness if you upsize by
a large ratio, but only if you have sharp edges to begin with. If you zoom
way in on it, the result looks slightly artificial--because it is--but under
normal viewing conditions it works quite well. I think it's useful for some
images, but not for all or even most.
