A Short Review
Genuine Fractals is a great product that allows you to dramatically increase the size of your image. This comes in handy for all sorts of situations, including detail enhancement, printing big prints, post-processing, and advanced cropping.
You know those crime shows on TV when they have a small image from a security camera, and then they magically zoom in and you can see them perfectly? I always thought that was fake until I used this product! Okay, well, that Hollywood BS is still kinda fake… but, essentially, that is what this software does.
I use Genuine Fractals a lot to make a photo dramatically bigger without significant loss to detail and edges. My background is in Computer Science and Math, and, frankly, I have no idea how they made such an amazing algorithm to do this! On their site, they claim to be able to enlarge a photo to 1000% with no loss in detail. I can’t say I entirely believe that, but it is very very close to that!
Here is another bit of information that may seal the deal for you. This is the same software that is used by the major print companies to make giant prints for art, ad campaigns, and the like. Now, for people like you and I that don’t normally have to make GIANT prints, this is not an issue. However, I often make large prints from a section of a cropped photo, and I want it to be big and sharp.
That last point should be expounded upon. Even though cameras are getting more and more megapixels, there is often a situation where you may crop down the original photo quite a bit. Genuine Fractals will allow you to increase the size of that photo once again to make it nice and big.
For years, I have used the image stretching inside of Photoshop. But Genuine Fractals is waaaaay better. Trust me.
When you start up Genuine Franctals inside Photoshop, you get a special dialog. The dialog is very easy to use, and you can do all the cropping, sharpness adjustment, and many other things right inside that dialog. It’s very smart.
The original image at the original size of 3523×5027, as shot with a Nikon D3X.
The cool Genuine Fractals interface. This is before I have typed in the new dimensions, which I doubled.
The stump at 100% before using Genuine Fractals.
The stump at 100% AFTER using Geniune Fractals.
An example of how you can re-crop an image in an interesting way and still have a giant image 5700 pixels across!
Here is the original, shot at 6048×4032 with a Nikon D3X
And here is the same photo full screen. We will zoom in on some of those stickers.
Here is the Sweet Leaf sticker at 100% BEFORE Geniune Fractals
And here it is AFTER Genuine Fractals.
Here is some very strange secret code sticker on the door at 100% before Genuine Fractals
And here it is after the doubling inside Geniune Fractals
Here is another zoomed-in detail that is very nice after Geniune Fractals… go back to the original pic and see how small this was!
