PhotoZoom Professional 3.0

PhotoZoom Professional 3.0 is an updated tool which introduces a revolutionary approach to digital image enlargement

Many professionals are familiar with the problem; quality loss caused by digital image magnification. In many cases a great deal of time is spent on achieving only a fairly acceptable enlargement result, however there are familiar side effects including out-of-focus images and serrated edges which is illustrative for the lack of professional magnification software.

PhotoZoom Professional is a useful tool which is based on a patented, self-adjusting, advanced interpolation method, called S-Spline Technology. PhotoZoom Professional introduces a revolutionary approach to digital image enlargement. It is able to render true to life image magnifications without the serrated edges - yet perfectly focused - without visible loss of quality!

Major Features:

1. Higher Quality: Equipped with S-Spline Max, the latest generation of BenVistas patented S-Spline algorithm, PhotoZoom Pro 3 creates image enlargements of unequalled quality. PhotoZoom Pro 3 beats any of the alternative solutions, such as Photoshops Bicubic technique, fractal-based methods, and so-called industry standards.
2. Truly Any Size: Where competitors fail to get past 300000 by 300000 pixels (or even much lower), PhotoZoom Pro 3 enlarges images up to 1 million by 1 million pixels. No other product offers this capability, let alone with preservation of image quality.
3. Fits into your Workflow: BenVista does not intend to dictate how you should fit PhotoZoom Pro 3 into your workflow. Therefore, the software works not only as a stand-alone application, but also as an Automation plug-in and Export plug-in for Photoshop.
4. Choice: Although S-Spline Max has proven to be the optimum technique in most tests, PhotoZoom Pro 3 also offers two other excellent S-Spline techniques. You can choose which you like best. You can even fine-tune each technique to your personal liking, and save your favorite settings so you can use them again later.
5. Image Support: PhotoZoom Pro 3 perfectly meets the requirements of the professional user when it comes to image support. It fully supports color spaces like RGB, CMYK, Grayscale and Lab, just like metadata of the types EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and ICC profiles. Also, PhotoZoom Pro 3 supports layers, 16 bits/channel (including Raw) and 32 bits/channel (HDR) images and, last but not least, a very wide range of image file formats.
6. Conclusion: PhotoZoom Pro is the ideal solution for enlarging digital images, both for printing and on-screen purposes. Besides enlargements of unequalled quality it offers various professional functions and features, and can be easily fit into anyones workflow. PhotoZoom Pro 3 is an absolute must-have for both professionals and serious amateurs who want to resize their images.
7. Enlarge your photos and images with S-Spline Max, the No. 1 image resizing technique in the world. BenVista's S-Spline technology has been awarded and praised by the professional and consumer press over and over again.
8. Previous generations of BenVista's S-Spline algorithm already excelled in preserving sharp edges. The new S-Spline Max also adds refined preservation of subtle details, and true to nature reconstruction of shapes. With PhotoZoom Pro 3, you can create image enlargements of unequalled quality.
9. For quick results, PhotoZoom Pro 3 offers various pre-defined settings, specially designed for different types of images. In addition, all settings can be manually fine-tuned to the user's liking. Settings made can be saved and used again later.
