Product Description:
RealZoom generates a somewhat realistic zoomed (close-up) image as if you are taking a close look at your LCD, CRT screen, or paper with a magnifying glass. I hope this is a useful image utility for graphic designers, graphic artists, and for anyone to help understand how images are reproduced on LCD, CRT, and paper.
- Available zoom types: RGB stripes, RGB dots, LCD, Trinitron (Aperture Grille), Shadow Mask, Video (interlace), Black Print (K=0 and 45 degrees), and Color Print (CMYK=0 and 63.4 degrees).
- Supported image files: .tiff, .pdf, .pict, .gif, .jpg, .png, and .icns.
- Save zoomed images as TIFF bitmap image files.
- Drag and drop an image file to the image view.
- Open Recent image files.
- AppleScript scripting
NOTE: RealZoom generates a very large image when the magnification is high (e.g. 6x, 9x, 12x, etc.), and the system may not be able to handle a very large image properly. Please make sure to select a portion of (or scale down) your large image and save a smaller image with your image editing application such as Photoshop, then load the small image with RealZoom. Thanks.

And as for the 'pseudo-halftone' paper effects, top marks! As a designer, it's sometimes necessary to use zoomed halftone effects, and this method makes a mockery of Photoshop's own built in filters. Very convincing, and very quickâconsidering that no less than a year ago, we had a feature project which was to show on an exhibition panel the difference between halftone and scatter printing! This would have made it easy!
The way the LCD/CRT effects emulate RGB makeup is superb. In fact, aside from a few technical aspects (one of them being the inability to cap the resultant filesize at a reasonable level) I will be recommending that we add this to our studios.
One 'heads up' for the developer, and one 'rotten egg' for those uneducated and uncreative grunts whom wish to criticise this app... come on guys, when you 'bought (?)' Photoshop, did you criticise all the filters and tools you didn't understand?
Applications like these are another tool in the creative designer's toolbox. And it's pure genius on behalf of the developers which allows us to use them.
