The alternative resizing methods have been included for use, but Avanquest only intend you to compare the “poor” quality with their “superior” S-Spline resizing. You can enlarge up to 1million x 1million pixels and supports batch processing. According to the website, it enlarges images while reducing the chances of JPEG artefacts and noise. Avanquest are particularly proud of the S-Spline system.

There are several resizing methods available in PhotoZoom Pro 5 which you should really do before you mess around with the slider above.

Bicubic smoother also does it quickly, but it doesn't have a dramatic sliding bar, like PhotoZoom Pro 5 does. It does it very quickly and we're impressed. A black line slides down the image and updates it with the additional pixels. Now, the cool bit is once you've moved the slider or input the dimension sizes. The more haphazard ones out there will prefer the slider. If you want to take a methodical approach, you can adjust the dimensions pixel by pixel if you want. You have to decide how big you want to take the picture to. The preview image is found under Original image and the rest of the section simply tells you details of the picture, such as image size, file size, printable size in inches and a ppi (pixels per inch) value.Īrguably, the coolest part comes next. There are three sections: Original image, New size and Resize method. Below the large icons, the options are split into cascade tabs. Load an image in and it pops up in the main window as well as a smaller preview image to the left. You can still access them via the traditional means at the top. The main options are listed in big icons, so they're easy to find. In all seriousness, it's important to know how easy a program is to use straight out of the box without reading any guides or tutorials. Being male, though, we got stuck straight in and opened an image. An example image is pre-loaded in to let you play with and get the hang of it. All options are set to the left with a large display pane to the right. Launching PhotoZoom Pro 5 opens the main page. You can use it as a plug-in if you wish, though.

PhotoZoom Pro 5 is a stand-alone program, so you don't have to open any pictures in Photoshop or PSP (Paint Shop Pro) if you use it this way. We were already registered, so missed that out, but if you need to do it, you'll be prompted at the end of installation. Still, installation takes around 5 minutes in total. It's annoying enough when freeware does this, but we didn't expect it from a paid program. Our only gripe is that Avanquest seem to want to put a toolbar and browser on your computer as well as change the default page. We installed PhotoZoom Pro 5 from a CD which is an easy affair. We'll also compare it against the Bicubic Smoother in Adobe Photoshop CS4. In this review, we're going to test PhotoZoom Pro 5, a program that enlarges pictures. Cropping usually means getting rid of a lot of pixels, which then makes the pictures smaller and therefore, more difficult to enlarge. The amount of times we've come home from a day shooting and found that we didn't quite get close enough to the subject, or we didn't frame it precisely enough.
