S-Spline: high-quality enlarging of bitmaps

[Klaus Nordby]

I just discovered S-Spline, a special program for high-quality enlarging of bitmaps. As this sample show, it looks very promising! It costs $69, and a save-disabled demo - only 1.5Mb - can be had from:

Give it a spin and find out! My tests prove that this program is really splendid, and will save my ass now and then - I'm bying it.

I bought S-Spline for a particular task and I'm not sorry about it. Although I had tried XaraX, I had forgotten the trick and I went for this.In fact, the trick was to save in "xar" format and then enlarge which worked - what is it Homer says?

neat! I opened an image I had made at 750 x 550 pixels and therefore unsuitable for print and increased it to 10" tall at 300 dpi and it made it a smooth looking image. Pretty cool little program.

I should clarify ... compaired to just increasing the image size in a bitmap program, these images seem to be somewhat better in quality and some areas aren't blurred as much

I'll certainly give it a try.

Suppose it's something like Genuine Fractals...?

If you don't work against time, time often works for you.

I've tried Genuine Fractals, but not been very impressed with it. It seems to me that S-Spline enlarges better, with sharper edges - and is MUCH cheaper!

I fully agree with you Klaus. I wasn't that impressed by GF either, but if you say that this is much better, I'll try it out. (I don't like to install/uninstall too often as i'm still on only one machine.)
