All I can say is that this is the tool that I have been searching for to resize my images. I'm using the application stand-alone version, in evaluation period. I'm interesed in discounts for this software. 8)

Apologies to anyone who reads my previous comments... especially to Akvis!

The company were very quick to reply to my cry for help, turns out I was trying to run the app with GPU acceleration turned on, following their advice this was turned off and bingo! everything works as before.

Am I the only one to experience computer freezes in Lion?, version 4 seemed to work ok but version 5 just locks up my computer, forcing a complete shut-down! I am trying to run it on an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5.

It's not a bad piece of software but I wouldn't pay $129.00 for it. It's totally over priced indeed.

The price for Alienskin BlowUp is $249, so to get all these features for 129 is not so bad.

I really like the feature in the new version (Magnifier5) which shows before and after side by side.

AKVIS Magnifier allows you to enlarge images to high resolution with sophisticated algorithms. AKVIS Magnifier upscales digital images with advanced enlargement algorithms, preserving edge to edge image sharpness while improving image appearance by removing unwanted noise and compression artifacts. Get super-high resolution pictures and produce stunning enlargements and poster-size prints. The sophisticated algorithms keep edges smooth, sharp and clearly defined at the same time.

AKVIS Magnifier makes producing professional enlargements and poster-size prints easy and quick. AKVIS Magnifier does not require an external photo editor to operate. The resizing is easily configurable and allows fine-tuning the enlargements by introducing complete user control over important parameters such as image and edge sharpness. All settings can be quickly tried, adjusted and combined by simply clicking and sliding.

Just take a photo and enlarge it to a super-high resolution of up to 30000x30000 pixels, to print a100x100 inch poster with typographic quality of 300dpi. Larger formats are viewed from the distance, allowing for even larger prints of 200x200 inches a whooping 5x5 meters.

Resizing pictures with AKVIS Magnifier yields a much higher quality than bicubic interpolation. Using complex math based on sophisticated resize algorithms, the resizer outputs enlargements with smooth, sharp and clearly defined edges. Depending on your particular needs, AKVIS Magnifier can be fine-tuned to produce images that look exactly as required for a given purpose. The photo enlarger works great if a modest 1.1x, 2x or 4x enlargement is needed, but it truly shines if used to blow up a photo to 10x or 20x the original size.

Whether creating poster-size images or adding resolution for printing an enlargement, AKVIS Magnifier will make your prints look sharper, clearer and better defined.
