Alien Skin's BlowUp is quite the powerful image upsampling tool. I was surprised to see it is actually better than Adobe's own bicubic upsampling and even more surprised to discover Genuine Fractals Print Pro 5 has been surpassed. This is the third Alien Skin product reviewed by DigitalDingus and from using their applications, I can affirmatively say they know digital imaging technology, inside and out.

"The image yielded by Blow-Up was definitely the smoothest and most satisfying."

The Seattle Times
"The results look good. The amount of sharpening I applied was just right to articulate the edges. And the printed image doesn't look too smooth or plastic...All in all, I've been won over by these third-party Photoshop plug-ins."

"Thumbs-up to Alien Skin for another great plug-in."

"I've been using Alien Skin BlowUp for several weeks. I'm satisfied with the results I get from the plug-in and use it frequently. It doesn't tax my system resources (2.8 GHz Pentium P4 with 2 GB RAM), and returns the enlarged image quickly. The interface is intuitive and easy to use”– Doug Sahlin, November 2007

Photoshop User Magazine (5 out of 5 Stars)
"BlowUp is not only extremely easy to use, but it has one of the most feature-rich upscaling options available...Most third party upscaling plug-ins do a good job but based on price, performance, and features, BlowUp comes out head and shoulders above the rest."

"If you need to increase [the resolution of] your web images, older images or just using web-ready files to print your company's Web site – the value, performance and, most important, image quality from Alien Skin's BlowUp should [make it] your first purchase."

"Alien Skin Software's BlowUp...works wonders for both photographers and graphic artists, BlowUp offers a high quality image enlargement that would take hours and hours of manipulation and testing in Photoshop. Yes, there are methods of doing it yourself, but at the modest price, BlowUp simplifies the process and actually pays for itself."
- Fred Showker, September 2006

On Computers
"Now lots of photo-editing programs can enlarge a picture, but what happens fairly quickly is you begin to see jagged edges or marked blurring as the picture gets bigger. BlowUp handles that problem better than anything we've seen..."

"I can tell you I was delighted at what it did for my serious photographs as well as cell phone miniatures. My 640-by-480-pixel cell shots came up as fine looking 5-by-7s and made acceptable 8-by-10s...BlowUp blew this reviewer's mind."
