Enlarging Jpg Files Test site

Photoshop Waterscapes Madness

How often do we get inquiries on how to enlarge jpg files? About every month. I personally have written six articles on the subject. Thanks to “Cambridge in Colour” where there are no actual names to credit, you can TEST the methods online.
      This page allows you to SEE the results for enlarging with these methods: * Nearest Neighbor * Bicubic * Bicubic Smoother * PhotoZoom * Genuine Fractals * SmartEdge * PhotoZoom (Default) * Genuine Fractals * SmartEdge . . sharpened in various methods * Bicubic * Bicubic Smoother
BEWARE : all enlargements are different, and your settings may differ from those used!
