I tell ya, he's uncanny.

I didn't notice this being mentioned before. Anyway, thanks Rich for the rediscovery and Frenchy for original find
I see there is also a Mac version here, http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31807/smillaenlarger I have d/l and tested it out. I think its better than the app I have been using to date, PhotoZoom!
I stuck it in 'Useful MAC Applications [Ongoing Updates]'
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=6369&p=325002#p325002There is also an equivalent thread called, Useful win apps started by Remus but its not very busy at the moment. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=6542&start=75 I wonder if we could talk Pilou into posting there?

PS: Note the 'nice' Mac GUI

Well, I thought it was Pilou who first mentioned it. I know I saw it first in this forum. No matter, and no intent to slight anyone.

It's BETTER than Perfect Resize, and that costs £200!!!!!!!!
Downloaded it before Kodak or whoever buys the rights!

Thank you, this will come in handy for enlarging renders.

Indeed once I had to render an extremely large image which was impossible on my 32 bit XP. So I rendered it as large as I could and used this enlarger to make it bigger. The client did not notice anything.
As far as I remember it was Alan Frazer who first brought it to (my) attention on the forums - but it may as well have been Pilou (he posts too much)

Thanks for the link. Very good.

Strangely enough, some of these apps work under the assumption that adding grain improves sharpness.
I used to use an acutance developer made by AGFA to develop my film. It had a similar effect, where it would increase the edge sharpness of the grain, making the image appear sharper. You can only do so much with high-pass sharpening before things look too artificial. Break everything up into 'grain', and things start to look much different.

I send the image through Neat Image after this. Gets rid of those nasty speckles.
Cuts render times down which Is always a plus when you're still on dual core.

super program . I found this useful as fotosketcher.
