I this any good or just bs?

I was just wondering.

I would assume something does this magical feat well and sucessfully would cost well over $200…

thanks

I used to use it a few years ago at work, it was okay. It could enlarge jpgs without the normal distorted over compressed look, but i think there are better ones out there... i don't think it enlarged photos using fractals, like other products in it's category.

I haven't used it in years either. Photoshop CS and CS2 has a newer Bicubic Smoother and Sharper that work for me.

^^ditto^^

I tried a demo version of Genuine Fractals, which had similar claims. With CS and CS2's new interpolation engines, it actually compared rather poorly. Just make sure to use Bicubic Smoother as the interpolation method when upsizing the image in Photoshop.
