Subject: Enlarge your renders, save time...

Some of you may not know about 'PhotoZoom Pro'.
 
If you start with a decent sized Vue render (say 2,048 pixels), you can enlarge it for poster printing with no visible loss of quality, using PhotoZoom Pro. I've gone to 6,000 pixels without problems. Highly recommended to save render time, compared to making large renders inside Vue.

You're very welcome Gary.

Have no idea how they work their magic - advanced AI? Far as I know up-interpolating with high quality should be impossible.

Anyone know how it works?

Thank you, jc!! After what I read on the product site, I won't be surprised if PhotoZoom is soon a part of my workflow. :p

I must say, I constantly find wonderful things through rendo members. I've been using an image optimizing proggie that cuts down file size enormously with little to no quality loss -- because of a few posts I found at rendo about it.

Keep the recommendations coming! :p

This looks promising. I use the one from AlienSkin called "BlowUp" myself, but have never been 100% satisfied.

I installed the demo, but got a scary message from Zone Alarm in the process.  ZA told me that PZPro wanted to change the settings on my PC so that any application could then run a dubious program prior to starting up.  It asked did I want to give permission, so I refused.  I then got a series of error messages about not being able to write stuff to the registry.  However, after all that, the demo seems to work OK.

Just worried that I might need to give those permissions to get the registered version working....

Hmmm... my AVG 8 anti-virus/anti-spyware doesn't complain about PhotoZoom Pro. PZP does try to setup a UDP connection to their site, to automatically look for updates - i allowed that.

I don't have Zone Alarm though.

I have ZoneAlarm and had no problems or strange warnings.  : )

I'm using the latest version of Zone Alarm Pro on Windows XP Professional. 


jc ( ) posted Wed, 12 November 2008 at 12:05 PM

Doesn't Zone Alarm Pro tell you what this "dubious program" or operation was? If so, can you tell us? Or do a Google search to find out what is is/does?
 
Difficult to decide whether to allow something or not without knowing more about what was flagged. Could be legit licensing code or looking for updates or some non-Zone Alarm security program scanning this new launch, etc.

I've found out from the ZA forums that a dubious program is one not included in the vast ZA safe database.  So - I've contacted BenVista and asked them what it's all about and asked them to register the program with ZA.

Good move!

I think that if your original image quality is very good,you can do this.
if not ,then it will not give you a acceptable effect.
