“SmillaEnlarger Enlarges Your Images without Artifacts”
SmillaEnlarger is an open-source and portable application designed to help you intensively massage an image enlargement to keep it from looking jagged and filled with artifacts.
Old, I know, but I had saved it for when I’d bother to try it out.
Much of the process consists in hiding the enlargement artefacts with a bunch of filters (rather than the pure algorithm magic Hollywood likes to invent), but the point is that, by just adjusting a couple parameters depending on each picture, you can get very easily a quite more usable result than Photoshop would give you using its best algorithm.
And, since it’s free, there’s no reason not to download it. (Except for the fact that… when do you ever need to enlarge an image anymore, anyway?)
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
