What was the program?

2005-12-23 by Clayton Jones

Hello All,

Someone just recommended Photozoom Pro

http://www.benvista.com/main/content/content.php?page=ourproducts§ion=photozoompro_1

Haven't tried it myself

A few people also recommend Qimage

http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage/

(which I haven't tried properly)

Re: [Digital BW] What was the program?

2005-12-23 by Mark Savoia

Photoshop CS and CS2 seemed to have "borrowed" genuine fractals  
engine, I have tried both ways (step resing in Photoshop) and results  
look the same.

Thanks for all the replies.  There was a thread here a few weeks ago
discussing some product that uses the latest S-Spline algorithm (or
something like that).  It's not PS, QImage or GF - was it one of the
others mentioned or something else...?

Re: What was the program?

Can Qimage also just resize an image and then save it for later use
(like with Genuine Fractals). Or is the resizing only done internally
when sending a file to the printer?

And if it can, does it do a better job then Genuine Fractals?

Thanks,

Igor

Re: [Digital BW] Re: What was the program?

Igor, you can 'save to file' with no problem with Qimage.

PS doesn't do anything like GF. Try upsizing in GF by a factor of ten, and
you'll see that it does artificial edge recognition. Or, look at
http://www.pbase.com/pderocco/image/36593399 and the following image, to see
the difference.

Re: What was the program?

2005-12-23 by scott_now_coming

You can re-size with the interpolation of your choice and save the file 
for printing.

The big advantage is, being able to re-size a file with Vector or 
Pyramid interpolation and then being ablen to print that file on any 
printer, with the advantage your chosen interpolation.

I know someone who re-sizes in QI using Pyramid interpolation, then has 
the file printed on photographic paper from an Agfa (I think) machine.

I like to be able to have the advantage of QI, but knowing I can take a 
file to another system that doesn't have QI. (Like someone using a Mac 
system, for example).

Nice. Now go add Pyramid and Vector. :>)

(That GF version looked terrible. I'm glad I never went that route, 
fwiw)

Re: [Digital BW] What was the program?

Hi,

If what you want is to resize and print later on, you
could try Photozoom Pro. It works on both Mac and PC
and VERY nicely. It takes 8 and 16 bit files (they can
get pretty large as well) with no problem. They have a
demo version to download at:
http://www.benvista.com/main/content/content.php?page=downloads

regards,

Pablo

Re: [Digital BW] What was the program?

2005-12-23 by Igor Wesdorp

Yes, but I want to resize it, then re-edit it in Photoshop. So the
program should be able to save the resized image in a normal format
like Tiff or so, or directly sent it to Photoshop.
Can these programs (QI, Photozoom) do that? (Like Genuine Fractals can)

Igor

Re: [Digital BW] What was the program?

2005-12-23 by Peter Palmieri

Think about this workflow--edit in PS (do not resize or sharpen)>save as a TIFF or JPEG>open subject image in Qimage>Sharpen>print to desired size. Or open non-raw image in Qimage>use Photo Editor setup to move image to PS>image opens in PS>Edit (do not resize or sharpen)>"save as" image>click ok in Qimage dialog box>sharpen>print to size desired.

If you are making large prints then by all means sharpen and resize in Qimage. Prints up to about 8.5X11 will not show much of a difference in either one. But, the printing, editing, resizing is much quicker in Qimage unless you are cloning, changing colors, pinning donkey's heads on politicians etc. then PS is the one to use.

Re: [Digital BW] What was the program?

2005-12-23 by El Estudio

Well, about QI I can't tell but as to Photozoom Pro,
yes, you can resize, save a tif or whatever format you
choose, and then re-edit in photoshop although I would
highly recommend you resize and print as a last step
and do your editing first. But still, if you want to
edit afterwards... you certainly can, in a much larger
file -that is-.

Pablo

QImage will let you save as Tiff or Jpeg.

Re: [Digital BW] What was the program?

2005-12-23 by Steve Kale

The program I mentioned a short while ago was Photozoom Pro 
(formerly S-Spline Pro) from Benvista.  There was a long discussion 
of interpolation methods some time ago and S-Spline technology is 
the latest "maths".  I am traveliing at the moment and don't have 
access to the original thread postings which I saved on my 
computer.  If you are interested I can chase these up when I return 
to London.  I have purchased Photozoom. It's not cheap at Euro129.  
I have not used it extensively so far but it has worked extremely 
well when I have used it.  I have a few stability issues with the 
Mac Photoshop export plugin (CS2) but no issues with the standalone 
application.  I am working though these issues with the folks at 
Benvista who have been extremely helpful.
 
Incidentally I did ask them the following question and their 
response is copied below:
 
>is there any merit in stepping a spline interpolation in increments 
rather than in one hit?


"
We recommend doing it in one hit. Technically, using multiple 
increments -also called "stair" interpolation- is mathematically the 
same as 
doing it in one step and taking a slightly larger area into account 
around 
each pixel when interpolating. Theoretically this could result in 
small 
improvements (although not necessarily, and can also result in more 
ringing/jaggies), however it also introduces rounding errors because 
you 
always get small "mistakes" when interpolating, and by interpolating 
many times these mistakes will naturally occur more often and stack 
up.

Actually, we thought about adding stair interpolation to PhotoZoom a 
while ago, but after some experimenting we didn't consider it a real 
improvement (there was practically no visual difference) and the 
much 
longer processing time definitely wasn't worth it.
"

Re: [Digital BW] What was the program?

Igor,

PhotoZoom Pro will give you a choice of several
formats to save your file. TIF, JPEG, PNG, WINDOWS
BITMAP and TRUEVISION TARGA.
It will also give a large array of resizing choices,
like LANCZOS (which I understand is what QI uses),
BICUBIC,BILINEAR, NEAREST NEIGHBOUR and of course,
S-SPLINE.
I hope this is useful to you.

Pablo

Re: [Digital BW] Re: What was the program?

QImage can - and the help tells you how. And yes, I think it usually if 
not always does a better job than GF.

The problem with any proprietary software such as that behind GF is that 
it may not get developed. Expectations - and competing products - have 
moved on since it came out.

However, my simple preliminary tests have shown that SizeFixer is better 
still, certainly where you are looking at extreme upsizing.
http://www.fixerlabs.com/New_Website/pages/reviews_quotes.htm has some 
links to reviews of this and related products. The problems I have with it:
it runs on Windows XP and I'm still mainly working on W2000;
it is very slow (20 minutes for the last image I did - resized from 600 
to 5164 pixels wide!);
it doesn't incorporate batching.
perhaps expensive for the amount of use I have for this kind of software.

But it does do the impossible better than anything I've yet tried. 
Glowing reviews as you will find if you look at the link above, from 
MacWorld, BJP etc

Do you happen to know what interpolation SizeFixer uses?

I could find it on their website.

I think it is a proprietary adaptive method, rather than any of the 
well-known algorithms. It says "novel techniques...the first time this 
technology has appeared in a commercial product."
