Product Description:

Blow Up 2 is a Photoshop plug-in that produces enlargements dramatically sharper than any other software, especially Photoshop! Blow Up uses an innovative algorithm that temporarily converts pixels to a vector representation which results in perfectly smooth, crisp edges. Simulated texture and film grain keep photos looking natural even in extreme enlargements. Blow Up can even clean up JPEG compression artifacts when a client insists on using a low quality source image from the Web.

What's new in this version:

  • Blow Up 2 Startup Panel for Photoshop CS4
    • We have created a Photoshop Panel that will make running Blow Up much easier. The startup panel sits in your Photoshop window and can be moved or docked like any other built-in Photoshop panel. You can use it to launch Blow Up or even resize an image with a single click. If you have Photoshop CS4 or later you will be given the option of installing the panel when you install Blow Up. Once installed, you can start the panel from the Window->Extensions menu.
  • Free Gallery Wrap Panel for Photoshop CS4
    • The Gallery Wrapper Panel complements Blow Up 2. You may have enlarged your image to make a massive gallery wrap print. You can then use the Gallery Wrap Panel to add a border to your image so you don't lose any of the image when it is wrapped around the frame. Check out this for more information on the Gallery Wrap Panel.
  • Run Blow Up from the Filter Menu
    • Blow Up 2.0.0 appeared in the File->Automation menu rather than the Filter menu, which confused some users. Version 2.0.3 now lets you launch Blow Up 2 from the Filter menu.
  • Performance Slider
    • A slider is now available in Blow Up's preferences panel that controls whether Blow Up 2.0.3 optimizes its processing for speed or memory use. It is rare for Blow Up to run out of memory, but if it does then this slider can solve the problem. If memory is not an issue then this slider can give Blow Up a slight speed increase. You can bring up the preferences panel by starting Blow Up and then typing Command-K on Mac or Control-K on Windows. You can also find it under the Edit menu.
  • European Paper Sizes
    • Blow Up 2.0.3 now includes ISO paper sizes commonly used in most of the world, such as A4. Many of these output sizes are available through a single click in the Startup Panel mentioned above.
