If you regularly need to enlarge photographs a lot with little — if any — quality degradation, Alien Skin Software‘s Blow Up program is worth a look. This $199 plug-in for Photoshop (and now Lightroom, too) recently updated to version 3.
Alien Skin says that a redesigned user interface, which includes standard size presets, makes Blow Up 3 easier to use. While that’s all fine and good, what’s most important in an app of this type is image clarity. Alien Skin says that’s improved in version 3, as well.
Even more good news: Blow Up 3 costs $199 ($99 upgrade), which is $50 less than Blow Up 2. How often does that happen?
