"Blow Up uses an innovative algorithm that temporarily converts pixels to a vector representation which results in perfectly smooth, crisp edges." - AlienSkin
Recently, a new plug-in for Photoshop known as Blow Up 2 was introduced to the public. This amazing software produces "dramatically sharper" images than any other program. The photos are able to stay natural looking even when extreme enlargements are made. A huge benefit of this application is the time it saves for people preparing photos. Cropping and resizing can now be done in one easy step. Blow Up 2 makes an "intelligent guess about where to crop the image with its auto crop feature. The Auto Rotate feature adapts the preset to match your photos orientation. Blow Up applies the proper amount of output sharpening based on the paper type you choose. There are so many more fantastic features of Blow Up 2 including the tool to re size a group of photos at one time. How convenient? This is the first major Photoshop plug-in that will work in CS4, the newest version of Photoshop.
I would love to be able to print my own work but I just don't have the funds to do that. As a result, I print from Elco, an online company based in NJ. Three years ago I wouldn't have complained about the quality of my prints, but now that's all changed. The quality of my print is everything to me. I have had major issues with color and pixelation but its something i've just had to get used to. Blow Up 2 sounds amazing and I'm so curious as to how it all works. I'm going to do more research on their printing process and hopefully I will be able to print with it one day!
