Akvis have rolled out a major update to Akvis Magnifier. Available as a plug-in or a standalone application, the software is claimed to “deliver good results” when ‘uprezzing’ a photo to create poster-sized enlargements. “Resizing pictures with Akvis Magnifier yields a much higher quality image than simple bicubic interpolation,” the company says. Version 8 enables users to print super high resolution images on multiple pages, adds Dropbox to the list of publishing services and support for more raw image formats (standalone version), and fixes bugs. Registered users of Magnifier can upgrade to version 8 free of charge.
