Product Description:

RealZoom Quartz 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, LCD, Trinitron (Aperture Grille), Shadow Mask, and Black Print (K=0 and 45 degrees).
  • Supported files: .tiff, .pdf, .pict, .gif, .jpg, .png, and .icns.
  • Save zoomed images as PDF vector image files.
  • Drag and drop an image file to the image view.
  • Open Recent image files.
  • AppleScript scripting

RealZoom Quartz generates a vector-based PDF image file while RealZoom generates a TIFF bitmap image file.

NOTE: RealZoom Quartz generates a very complex PDF file when the original image is relatively large, and it may take some time for Preview or Adobe Reader (Acrobat) to display or print the image. 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 Quartz. Thanks.

RealZoom Quartz CommentaryWhy Use TIFF, Not PDF - Version: 0.2, 12/10/2003 01:25PM PST

Hey xcomapocalypse, Not all Creative or graphic houses process PDFs yet. Just because the OS does doesn't mean others are ready to do that yet. Yes, Preview can convert them, but that takes 6 steps for each PDF. A lot of work when you have 300 screen shots. This tool just assists to eliminate some steps.

Also, you could use a bitmap and scale it using nearest neighbor to 200%, 400% etc and it will be fine. However, you could scale a vector to any value 200%, 133%, 263% etc and it will look crisp and clean.

Vector images are smaller than raster images in PDFs 99% of the time.
