    Love Smilla Enlarger in particular because of its elegance. How it automatically names crops, can save simply in the same folder without annoying time-and-again browsing and OK clicking, how excellent the user interface is. It is a joy to work with it.

    UN=FREAKING=BELEEEEEVABLE!!! I took a small 352 x 352 image of my wife, which was a good image at this size. I enlarged it 1280 x 800 for my desktop. I couldn't believe how great this program enlarged this photo, even taking note that I change the aspect ratio. And the power it has to actually make custom modifications to let you even further enhance more the Quality at a larger size. I wish the author would make a HD Video Up-converter. I would donate money to that project! I have some old Sony 8mm film I want to capture and up-convert to a higher resolution. Best part is that it's in C++ :) Excellent Program !!!!!

    I am an old-school film photographer who strives to emulate Ansel Adams, but my work is not selling so I am limited to 35mm ISO 100 film photography. I simply love large photographs- 13x19 and 17x22, the sharper and the more grain-free (pixel-free) the better. Just today, I found SmillaEnlarger, and I love it. I must add that I just bought a used Mac Pro, so speed is not a problem, but money is, so I edit with Adobe PSE 8, and the resampling apps out there are just too expensive. Based on all the positive qualities of SmillaEnlarger, I highly recommend that the creator move forward with an $40-$60 app which is a more highly developed version of SmillaEnlarger, which I feel the market needs. A Mac version would be nice, too!

    It is nice but the FREE Irfanview does a better job. Even Paintshop XI did not do as good a job as did Irfanview. I may show the results on my Irfanview page at http://www.sticksite.com/irfanview/ soon.

    Where are the instructions to use the program? So far it's useless to me.

    This program does not include any provisions to uninstall the program. it does not list under Add/Remove Programs & does not list under Programs - in WinXP SP2

    I compared this to other offerings costing hundreds of dollars, and, while SE didn't come in first place for quality, it absolutely blew away the competition in bang for the buck. ( http://29th.branzone.com/forums/index.php?topic=33.msg149205#msg149205 )

    Thank you :) I was considering writing an algorithm to increase resolution artificially. They may be similar to some extents. however, I saw its been patented in US (2006)... a little googling will easily show the patent... Is your algorithm patented too? (since its been called invention)....Thank you again, Great Job :)

    Worked perfectly for me and created what could easily be one of the most beautiful raster-based image enlargements I've seen (assuming it works with rasters).
  • bikerpete Posted 2009-08-12
    Works for me on WinXp SP3 Image is saved here and it is waybigger than the original one ;-) Thanx for that tool!
