Oddly enough, there DOES seem to be some slight advantage in using Resize to create a larger image and THEN using QU to print it.
#ON1 RESIZE VS GENUINE FRACTALS PRO#
However, Resize 7 Pro will still be useful in displaying them. I had already found my way to the "Restless Natives" post, which was what made me think QU could do a good job printing small original images at larger sizes. For printing, clearly QU is doing a great job. Fortunately, I also need to be able to display images that were originally 800 x 600 pixels at rather larger pixel dimensions, and this is where Resize excels. I had an uneasy feeling after I bought the upgraded Resize plugin that QU was doing something similar. There's some information on the web site about interpolation and quality. I have printed small images such that the nominal print resolution is 100ppi or less and got good results You can see that figure in the queue tab on the main screen.
#ON1 RESIZE VS GENUINE FRACTALS DRIVER#
If your numbers are lower than that, you have probably not set the driver to best quality/finest detail. You typically see 720x720 for and Epson or 600圆00 for Canon or HP. This resolution is reported in QU from the driver and can be seen just above the page preview on the main screen. One big feature of QU is that it interpolates to the printer's native resolution so the driver does not have to interpolate and mess up the quality. You merely have to decide the print size, QU looks after the pixels. It interpolates on the fly as data is sent to the printer.
This means leaving your original image alone wrt to pixel size and use QU to specify the print size in inches or mm and then let QU to its stuff. To get the best results, interpolate only once in QU and set your driver to "best quality - finest detail" or equivalent. Qimage Ultimate has THE best interpolation algorithms of any softwareĢ. So any advice or comments would be much appreciated.ġ.
So any advice or comments would be much appreciated. Naturally, I've tried a couple of prints already, and there seems to be a slight advantage in Perfect Resize's favor over a straight QU print from the non-resized original, but I'm so new to QU that I'm probably not getting the best possible results from it. Of course it would be great if that's really all I have to bother about. Has anyone used this (now known as Perfect Resize 7 Pro) with QU? I ask because the pull-downs recommend setting target ppi as 240 or 360 for Epson printers, and I have a feeling it's not quite as simple as all that. I've just upgraded to the latest version of this as I have a lot of small images, typically 800 x 600 pixels, that I want to print rather larger than would normally be advisable. We used Genuine Fractals in the office a few years ago and found it a godsend when we had to make a set of oversize A3 prints for an exhibition of photos from tiny originals taken by high-school students.
