Vilmos Kertesz I check out the programs you offer, and I am normally like them. But this... You cannot gain information that does not exist. So, enlarging something and claiming that you will get the same quality is... at least questionable. You watched too many movies where they turn around the 2D image of a security camera.

Also, IrfanView, which is a free software, can do the same, and MUCH more... Sorry BitsDuJour.

Vlad Hosu Vilmos,

Sorry if the title might not be explicit enough, but "Without Quality Loss" means not losing details. This implies keeping what there is in the image as best as it can be done: overall sharpness, edge clarity, texture detail. All this with as little distortion as possible and few or no artifacts (depending on the zoom level).

The best interpolation (resizing) algorithm implemented by IrfanView can be perfectly simulated within a subset of the parameters for Reshade Client. Please read more about Reshade, and how to use it here:

Vlad Hosu This is how they do it it seems. I've sent a notice to the site owner about the possibility to display the older comments.

In any case some of them were related to some non-existent features back then. The Reshade Image Enlarger version offered now has all of them and a few more.

Roger Thomasson We decided that it'd be best to offer each subsequent promotion of a software title with a clean comment slate. Most titles undergo a steady regimen of updates and version releases, and we feel as though it's best to offer each promotion accordingly -- on it's own terms.

Best!

S B I've been using the demo of this program and pushing it. It resizes images (and can also sharpen them).

It's difficult to enlarge images without also enlarging the blur. Photoshop isn't great at it (and often makes textures ugly); Reshade is much better. Reshade seems to work well on images of faces and scenes, as well as manufactured products. It can eliminate the little boxy jpg artifacts and smooth out noise, at the same time sharpening edges.

Where are the limits to enlarging? Though some images can be stretched way out (and some just won't stretch), for maintaining high quality Reshade seems to be able to double the size of most images and maintain or improve their quality. It's great with texture and grain.

This is not a Photoshop plug-in, but is a sand-alone program, and we will be using it as an adjunct to Photoshop to adjust the sizes of images for use on the web.

There are several other image resizing programs: PhotoZoom, Alien Skin's Blow Up 2, and Genuine Fractals. Reshade seems to be as good as, or perhaps a little better than the competition, and is certainly a relative bargain at BdJ.

Stefan Hauber I'm a little irritated: In your example-screens (and the ones on your website) you demonstrate how ReshadeImageEnlarger enhances the pictures and the results are (quite unbelievable) impressing. Just before I wanted to see this enhancements with my own eyes (i.e. making a screenshot, cut out the original-picture and enlarging it with your software) I saw, that above the original-picture there appears a text 'downsized to fit'. In my opinion that means that the original-picture, the source from which the good result is created is larger? And the higher the resolution of the original-picture is the less astonishing is the resulting good quality.

I wish you wouldn't use these kind-of-marketing tricks...

B.t.w.: On your homepage there exists v2 as beta only. Is it possible to run stable v1.x with the given license-key for v2 too?

Roger Thomasson @Stefan I hope the vendor will forgive me if I'm incorrect, but I don't that any software could sharpen a 150x300px, 72dpi web image to the extent that the pictures illustrate. I believe that there is an assumption that the images the customer will be using are of reasonable quality and size (for example, from a digital camera) to allow for any such image manipulation. Also, I think the fact that the vendor disclaims the original size of the photograph means, by definition, that this is not a "marketing trick" :-) -r

Vlad Hosu @Stefan I know that there are a lot of not so original image enlargement applications out there, to say the least. We come across them more often than we would want to. Luckly Reshade does what it's meant to do, in many situations even more than what people expect it to. Related to your comment about the "downsized to fit" note, all 3 images on the 1500% zoom example are downsized a bit including the zoomed versions (same amount for photoshop and reshade). So practically the zoom ratio is maintained (15x) even if the images you see are a bit smaller for display purposes. Was this the issue you were worried about? To answer your last question, the key for the v2.0 Beta will work on the previous version 1.5 . @Roger You're quite right Roger, and I'd like to say more about the issues you mentioned. Reshade can sharpen any picture even starting from very low resolutions, making contours as well defined as an original high resolution version, but there's a catch: there will be contour distortions if overdoing it. In the case you mentioned, to upscale a 150x300px @ 72dpi to a printable size will require a lot of zooming. Because Reshade can't infer what's not there, the amount to which existing information can be reused is limited, and it will show to some extent. So the more pixel resolution you have in the original, the easier you'll be able to enlarge the image to large print sizes.

S B Vlad,

Can you address some of your plans for Reshade and its future?

Will you continue active development on Reshade (it looks like development has slowed significantly [no new builds or blogs])?

Version 2 has been in beta for quite some time. There are a number of brand-new, very powerful sharpening technologies and parametrized, adaptive methods are currently very popular (perhaps like Reshade, but with even more control). Are you actively working on adding additional new underlying sharpening algorithms for version 2?

Do you anticipate new builds soon?

Does Reshade take advantage of multi-core processors?

Do you plan a plugin version?

Many thanks!

Vlad Hosu I'm glad that you're asking at such a level of detail. I truly appreciate that. @S B It's true, Reshade development has been a bit slow lately, we're doing our best to finish the final release. Related to the more recent upscaling methods, most of them are still just in the research stage. If you found any good applications out there, I'm not against comparing them with Reshade. There's no point in selling an application that does worse than cheaper or same price products that handle the same problems. To answer your question regarding any improvements to the underlying image processing methods, the final 2.0 release will not have significant changes to the current methods, except for some fine tweaking. We do plan to improve them significantly in future releases after v2.0 though. For now Reshade just takes advantage of vector processing instructions, but no multi-core support. But I think this question is more about how fast it runs in general. The processing speed is comparable to other similar applications, though it's a matter for you to decide if it's fast enough for your needs. Try it out, it's very quick to download and install the free trial. About the Photoshop plugin version being offered in the future, we do not have plans to do that as part of our v2.0 final release. Afterwards, there might be a chance to get one out. @Curt It seems that most users do not have the unicode problem you've mentioned. I think it's the first time I hear about it actually. We will have to look into it, in any case I've added it to the feature list for the 2.0 final release, which comes as a free update if you purchase the beta.

Jan-Christoph Ihrens Well, I hope you'll understand that I'm not too impressed by the fact that you managed to make a pre-release version out of a beta version in one and a half years. Which looks more like a cosmetic change to me - normally everything between the last alpha version and the first release candidate is called a beta version. ;-)

Do you have a roadmap that might convince me?

May 22 2011 at 4:35pm Copy Link

0

Vlad Hosu I understand why you may be worried. We made slow progress during 2009, but I assure you that we've constantly been improving Reshade thoughout the last year and a half.

We've handled more than 180 bugs since the beta, to be able to launch the Pre-release version which also includes some new features:

- multi-language pack for English, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Spanish
- unicode filename support
- improved crop and batch processing
- some cosmetic changes :-)

We made a promise to our customers, to keep Reshade upgrades free until we release Reshade 2.0 RC1. We consider that reliability under various conditions is thus more important than adding new features at this point. We will be continuing to add features from version 2.1 onwards.

If you're interested you can check out the changelog here: http://reshade.com/static/changelog.txt . Most of the changes since the Beta have been recorded there.

I hope that covered the roadmap question too.

"We made a promise to our customers, to keep Reshade upgrades free until we release Reshade 2.0 RC1."

Hm, on Dec 8 2009 at 10:38am you wrote:

"If you purchase a license for the current v1.51 or v2.0 Beta you will get a free upgrade to the final release of Reshade v2.0."

Now it has been reduced to a free upgrade to the release candidate?

"We consider that reliability under various conditions is thus more important than adding new features at this point."

I don't have a problem with this attitude, it's perfectly sensible. I'm a (web) developer myself, and I'd choose the same approach. It's more the long time between the start of the beta phase and the completion of the new version (that is still unforseeable as there will probably be several release candidates before the final relase) that worries me. And the fact that I'd have to pay for a pre-release version *and* the first release candidate (!).

I'm no troublemaker - sorry for being so persistent. But as Nick Katz said, this is no nine-dollars-tool the abandonment of which would just cause a shrug...

Vlad Hosu Thank you for the feedback. I hope the following will help make things clearer.

Reshade is an image enlarger application, it increases image size maintaining local edge contrast at the right scale so that the perceived output looks as best as possible given the available information in one single image. The zoom amount can go over 2000% depending on the image type. So, in some cases the acceptable zoom may not go as high.

For noise removal, it's impossible to perfectly detect which parts of the image are actual content and which are noise. What is possible to do is to create a good enough estimation of these defects and remove them appropriately. Because Reshade provides controls to remove such defects on demand, no details will be lost unless the user wants to do that.

I suggest trying out the application using your own images. In then end, what matters is our own judgement.

Avi S Commenters have notes that this works well with faces etc. I'm wondering: what about manuscripts? I often encounter medieval manuscript photos where it is hard to decipher the letters, especially if the manuscript is worn and the ink has faded. Can Reshade help in these cases?

May 25 2012 at 2:21am Copy Link

0

Vlad Hosu Reshade may be able to help in this case too. The denoising and contrast features complement each other in removing the worn out look of the manuscript guiding attention to the important details. Reshade allows for controlling the strength of writing edges making them more prominent and easier to decipher. In some cases, depending on how damaged the manuscript is, the line completion feature (smoothing) can connect interrupted contours making barely visible letters stand out.

xCurt Version 2.0 Release Candidate 1 since 30. August 2011. Will it be updated? It seems your online version has a marginal better quality.

Vlad Hosu @Curt: We'll be releasing a new version in the next few months. The web-based application uses the same implementation under the hood as the stand-alone, however the default parameters are slightly changed to account for web images.

Louis H Hello Vlad. Thank you for being a vendor who is around to answer folks questions.

Which version of Photoshop was used for your comparison photos on your website? And do you have any comparison examples with the current CS6 version of Photoshop? Thanks.

Vlad Hosu @Louis: The comparison was made with Photoshop CS3 as far as I remember. There haven't been any noticeable changes recently wrt to Photoshop's Bicubic interpolation (the one used in the examples). This applies to versions up to CS5, haven't tested CS6 yet.

Frank Stephens It would have been interesting to compare this to BenVista PhotoZoom Pro 4.1.2 which I recently purchased at a discount. Alas, no time, busy holiday weekend, I'll stick with PhotoZoom Pro.

Tim Harris On the main page u have 25% off - 96.75 - on the order form it's 103.20 so which is it. As i'm sure u already know, most usually honor the main agreement price and don't up the price later on another page (not counting the CD backup, etc).

Constantin Florea @Tim, I am sorry about the price confusion, the vendor did specify the correct price of $103.20 (representing a 20% off discount) however when we set up this Every Day promotion we entered a 25% discount by mistake.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Roderick Nicolson Somethings not right. I've just received an email from BitsDuJour with an offer for an 84% discount - $19.95 instead of $129.00.
However above it offers a 20% discount for $103.00.
