Zoom Engine 1.2
Zoom Engine is a Photoshop-compatible plugin for enlarging images. Easy to use and with a great versatility, it is able to handle a wide range of images, while offering results higher than common or even specialized tools. With Zoom Engine you have access to a set of effective enlargement methods, including a unique and intelligent method, called CZ2b, for achieving enlargements that look crisp and detailed, and that even starting from very small images or of poor quality!
New in version 1.2: The CZ2 algorithm has been tweaked and replaced by CZ2b. Basically the new algorithm handle better high frequencies content, and gives sligthly more regular edges. Also the interface is a bit better.
- Zoom Engine works in two steps:
- Increase canvas of your picture to the final size you wish.
- Launch the plugin, that's all!
- We have a freeware that works a similar way: Quick Mirror.
- Zoom Engine has among others, the following features:
- High quality method CZ2b.
- Lanczos and Blackman interpolations with the kernel radius you wish.
- Customizable bicubic method!
- Can be used for batch processing.
- Supports 16bits mode.
