It's not a cheap alternative at $160. <<a href="http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine_id=2">http://www.ononesoftware.com/detail.php?prodLine_id=2</a>><div><br></div><div>Quote from web site:</div><div><p>"Genuine Fractals patented scaling algorithm is fundamentally
different from bicubic or other interpolation and resizing methods
found within Photoshop or in any other third-party plug-in or
standalone application. While other resizing methods sample nearby
pixels one-by-one, Genuine Fractals looks for repeating patterns in an
image, samples blocks of pixels of various sizes, and patches them
together to create a larger version of the original. Sampling and
recreating blocks of pixels multiple times in this manner preserves
fine details like edges, smooth areas, and textures, resulting in an
exceptional quality enlargement."</p><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><br><div><div>On Sep 2, 2009, at 5:12 PM, Jack Mathews wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">What is the best application for batch reduction of .jpg's<div><br></div><div>Jack Mathews</div></div>_______________________________________________<br>DMMUG mailing list<br>Use this Address to send mail to the list:<br><a href="mailto:DMMUG@dmmug.org">DMMUG@dmmug.org</a><br>Use this page to modify subscription options:<br>http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/dmmug</blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
