PhotoZoom Pro (formerly known as S-Spline Pro) is based on S-Spline XL, a renewed and improved version of our patented self-adjusting, many times awarded S-Spline interpolation technology. As we did with S-Spline, our S-Spline XL technology again introduces a revolutionary breakthrough in digital image enlargement. It is able to render sharp and crisp clear image magnifications perfectly focused, yet without the jagged edges, loss of detail, or lack of photorealism that normally come with enlarging images.

Many professionals are familiar with the problem; quality loss caused by digital image magnification. In many cases a great deal of time is spent on achieving only a fairly acceptable enlargement result, however there are familiar side effects including out-of-focus images and serrated edges which is illustrative for the lack of professional magnification software.
The software is perfectly suited for digital photography, large printing, DTP, web design and online publishing, but also for industrial image processing such as space technology, security, medical, and forensic applications.

For the Reviews section, we often receive low-res images from the client because that's all they have access to. To save time and aggravation, we use Photozoom to "res-up" the images with great results.
I recommend it to anyone working on publication design.

For those who like the same effects (not very far from the results of PZ) but a whole lot cheaper (free). Try this:

I've tested it and the results look very decent. The price is $0.00
That's my 2 cents.
I still love PZoom tho!

Excellent product and well worth the asking price.
Thanks for the great work on PhotoZoom Pro !!

It's a screenshot that I did. The left was done with V3 and the right was done with V2.3.4 They were both enlarged to 12" wide 200 dpi in Generic mode from a original at 4" wide at 144 dpi. Absolutely no other enhancement were done on either one. The V3 process took 4 times longer than the V2.
That's why I prefer V2.
That's my 2 cents.

The PZP stand-alone app. produced a 9.7MB file, while the GFPP plug-in made a 6.4MB image, both set for best quality.
Side-by-side Preview magnifications show the GFPP image to be more defined.

PZP took about 38 minutes on a G4-dual 1.33GHz (upgraded) Mac with 1.5GB RAM, both CPUs just over 70% mark. The resulting image was over 216MB with same quality as the original JPEG.
GFPP used full capacity from both CPUs, and never completed it's task; many minutes into the process, CS3 froze.

BUT, I don't care what others charge. Bottomline for me is... The bottomline. I have to enlarge and sell quite a few images to make this app worth its price.
This is the same situation as audio plug-ins. Very expensive. More expensive than a lot of full audio editing applications.
Okay okay, this app has patented technology whatever. A lot probably goes into research and development - or does it?
And apart from that I don't find its results to be THAT much better than straight Bicubic done with a bit of care in other image editing apps.
Still, if this app was priced more modestly, I'd maybe purchase it. Of course it is a niche app, which makes the price go up, but I'd bet there are users using pirated/cracked copies of these apps, instead of purchasing. Personally I'd like to add this kind of software to my toolbox, if only I could afford it.

I hope this will be fixed soon.
This issue occurred on some PowerPC systems, but now it produces the correct result everywhere.
