Has anyone got this product? It seems to have some good reviews but obviously the more oinions the better

Just d/l the 2018 Beta to try and found the Fuji Raw processing speed blows LR6 away. It seems to have all the features of LR and includes layers of PS. So, I am impressed so far. More playing to do, especially with the DAM features. Cheers!

I have used it several times with wonderful results. Took an M9 file and blew it up to print 30x40 inches with no discernible enlargement artifacts. Several others to double size as well.

I started using it in 2000 when it was Genuine Fractals. Great product! In my testing over the years, as new products become available, I have always found Perfect Resize to win out. However, the latest resizing algorithm in PS CC is no slouch either. IMO, up to about 400% enlargement PS and Perfect Resize look identical. If you need to go really big, especially with a small file, then you can't do better than Perfect Resize.

Hi thanks for the feedback. Since my post I tried it with a monochrome image, but the message I got from the software seems to indicate it will only work with a digital colour image or a colour image that has been converted to monochrome, not an original monochrome neg.. or am I reading it wrong?

I've moved over to the Photoshop CC "preserve details" option as well. It works as well or better than most everything else out there, and is a whole lot cheaper.

I believe all of ON1's apps assume an RGB image. No problem. Just change your grayscale image to RGB for resizing.
