My Internet Travels…Part 2

4 days ago I decided to review OnOnes Genuine Fractals 5. First impression, very impressed. The interface is easy to use as there is a qucik option and a more advanced option. The other great thing is that it is intergrated in Photoshop. This makes things so much easier. I also found that the process was quiet quick. I was expecting it to take at least 5 to 10 mins to generate. It usually took under a minute. The only down side I had about was the price tag. 160 dollars for the standard or 300 for the pro. There is an alternatrive available at half that price, QImage. I ran both programs on the same image and the results where amazingly close.

I came across this while looking for ways to enhance my prints. OnOne Software. They provide plugins for Photoshop to do various tasks with your photos. The plugin I was interested in was Genuine Fractals 5. It was a way of letting you get large prints from small images. For example, if you had a 6×4 image and wanted to get it blown up to 18×12, normally you would get pixelation, frayed edges and all sorts of others issues. Basically the print would look crap. With this application though, you can enlarge Images up to 1,000% or more. Sounds to good to be true. Well, I am about to download a trial version and put it to the test. Have a look at the website OnOne Software. They have a ton of different plugins.
