Magnifier 2.0 Changes Image Size without Quality Loss
AKVIS Magnifier allows resizing images without noticeable loss in quality. If you attempt to blow up a picture (increase its resolution) using the standard Resize command of a photo editor, you will notice that the resulting photo is blurred and pixelated. The reason is that the input photo didn’t contain enough information for the new size. AKVIS Magnifier will cope with this problem and deliver good results.
Featuring advanced enlargement algorithms, Magnifier enlarges digital pictures to super-high resolution for producing stunning poster-size prints. The algorithm keeps edges smooth, sharp and clearly defined, while improving image appearance by removing unwanted noise and compression artifacts.
Resizing pictures with AKVIS Magnifier yields a much higher quality than simple bicubic interpolation. Depending on particular needs, AKVIS Magnifier can be fine-tuned to produce images that look exactly as required for a given purpose. The software allows enlarging an image to a super-high resolution of up to 30000×30000 pixels, making a 100×100 inch (2.5×2.5 meter) poster easily printable at typographic quality of 300dpi.
AKVIS Magnifier makes it easy for anyone to produce professional-looking photos. It is easily configurable and allows fine-tuning the resulting photo by allowing complete control over the image sharpness and edges. Home users can apply the program to enlarge photos taken from Internet or images taken with a low-resolution camera.
Whether creating poster-size images or adding resolution for a better printing quality, AKVIS Magnifier will make your enlarged image look crisp and clear.
AKVIS Magnifier is available in two editions: a plug-in and a standalone program.
Both variants support color modes RGB, Grayscale, CMYK, Lab; 8/16/32 bits per channel.
The standalone program works with JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF formats. The program allows printing large images at a high resolution.
The plug-in version of Magnifier is compatible with Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. In Photoshop the Magnifier plugin supports Batch Processing that allows you to automatically convert a series of images. Just create an Action in Photoshop and apply the plug-in with the same settings to a folder full of images. The plugin works with any (one-layered) images, which can be opened by Photoshop (in supported color modes).
You can use the software 10 days free of charge! It is the evaluation period. When the evaluation period is over, you must enter a registration key to continue. The program costs $129/€ 99.
