Another problem with Genuine Fractals is that (last time I used it) it will 
only handle 8 bit images.

I was under the impression that Genuine Fractals was thought to be
getting a bit long in the tooth and that more recent spline software was
favored for several reasons.

I have used Genuine Fractals, but it was two or three years ago now, and
I found s-spline to be more appropriate for my use. It did a better job
of producing a high-acutance image without introducing artifacts, and
didn't require me to save the image in a weird file format that only one
program understands. Not that s-spline is terribly new compared to
Genuine Fractals' mystery math, but it did a very nice job for me. I
think one of the more highly regarded commercial implementations of
s-spline is called Photozoom Pro or some such.
