Description
In practice, a designer, coder and just a normal user often encounters situations where a small bitmap image needs to be increased to the required parameters. It does not matter whether you are ready layout of a periodical, or simply wish to withdraw mined in popular web photo muzzles for large format, in front of you there is a problem: how to "stretch" the image so that it looked as good. Inexperienced operators is negligible, blaming these problems on the shoulders of the graphical package. As a result, quite decent images are transformed into works of some of the genre of Cubism, showing off the pixels of the two millimeters or more. At best, it will apply some primitive smoothing algorithm, making the picture is smeared, as if you are looking through a misted glass.
«PhotoShop!» - Exclaim "advanced" user. And hit the mark. RhotoShop, of course, a powerful thing, but to scale images the authors of this package came ... not to say that concentrated I guess, but without a soul. Even the most advanced scaling algorithm, built-in RhotoShop, gives a good, but still too blurry picture. From version to version, this situation does not change. All the same "advanced" algorithm Bicubic, still the same need sharpening after scaling by hand ...
Therefore, inheritance of real professionals - reject the path of least resistance and ask for help from the specialized packages. One such tool is a program PhotoZoom, released by Benvista. Of course, programmers that firms do not have the magical propensities and failed to give their offspring the ability to increase image detail. However, the program implemented in the original scaling algorithm still can achieve really big quality output images than in PhotoShop.
