Software Description
--------------------

The best professional magnification software for digital images...
Specially designed for the demanding image processing professional!

Shortcut PhotoZoom Pro is a new, revolutionary and patented technology
which includes the best tools available for enlarging digital images.

All professionals are familiar with the problem; quality loss caused
by digital image magnification. Currently, the well-known graphic
software makes use of 'Bicubic', 'Bilinear' or Nearest Neighbour
(pixel) interpolation. In many cases a great deal of time is spent
achieving only a fairly acceptable enlargement result, however there
are familiar side effects including out-of-focus images and serrated 
edges. Then there are the fractal and wavelet technologies which
focus mainly on compression. The fact that these software technologies
are used in image magnification is illustrative of the lack of
professional magnification software.

PhotoZoom Pro uses S-Spline technology which is a patented, self-adjusting,
advanced interpolation method which introduces a revolutionary
approach to digital image enlargement. The PhotoZoom software is able
to render true to life image magnifications, without the serrated
edges yet perfectly focused, without any loss of quality! The software
is easy to use and saves a huge amount of processing time. Supporting
all major professional file formats, batch processing and other graphic
applications plus its advanced options, the software is perfectly
suited for image magnification in DTP, industrial image processing (such
as in space technology), medical applications, large printing, but also
the Internet and digital cameras!
Currently there is no better solution than PhotoZoom Pro for digital
image enlargement.
