The Industry Standard for Image Enlargement
Genuine Fractals 6 Standard Edition is renowned across the photographic and printing industries for its ability to increase image size over 1,000% without the loss of sharpness or detail that you would normally expect. Its patented, fractal based interpolation algorithms work like nothing else and the results speak for themselves. An easy-to-use plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Apple Aperture, Genuine Fractals is loaded with resizing features that give you professional results every time. In addition to being able to enlarge images in high-quality, you can also crop and resize images in a single step, resize an entire folder of images with complete control of sizes, resolution, and file formats, and use the new Tiling and Gallery Wrap features to produce stunning prints. |

Better than any other resizing method
Genuine Fractals patented scaling algorithm is fundamentally different from bicubic or other interpolation and resizing methods found within Photoshop or in any other third-party plug-in or standalone application. While other resizing methods sample nearby pixels one-by-one, Genuine Fractals looks for repeating patterns in an image, samples blocks of pixels of various sizes, and patches them together to create a larger version of the original. Sampling and recreating blocks of pixels multiple times in this manner preserves fine details like edges, smooth areas, and textures, resulting in an exceptional quality enlargement.Any Size, Made Easy
Have you ever tried making an 8x10 print frfsom your digital camera file? You can't get it to fit that 8x10 size - it's either 8x12 or 7x10 - because most digital camera sensors are a different aspect ratio from common paper sizes. This forces you to crop your image to get it to fit a specific paper size, and it can be difficult to determine how to do this and whether to do it before or after you resize the image. Genuine Fractals comes to the rescue with over sixty built-in document size presets that allow you to precisely crop and resize your image in one simple step.
STN File Format
Another benefit of Genuine Fractals is its ability to compress an image losslessly. By saving your image in the STN file format that comes with Genuine Fractals, you can store your image in half the space it would normally occupy. And when you open this file you can specify the image size in which it will open. So rather than keeping several versions of your image for printing at different sizes, you can keep just one and open it to whatever size you need. It's resolution on demand!
