Exposure Software Blow Up

Overview of Exposure Software Blow Up (Sharp Photo Enlargement at Any Size)

Exposure Software Blow Up is a plugin and standalone application designed for enlarging and resizing images. It is part of the Exposure Software family of photography software products, which also includes Exposure X7 (a photo editing application) and Snap Art (a tool for creating artistic effects from photos). Blow Up keeps photos crystal clear during enlargement. Especially in large prints hung on a wall, the difference between Blow Up and Photoshop is astounding. Version 3 makes pictures even sharper without computer artifacts.

Features of Exposure Software Blow Up

• Image Quality: In Blow Up 3 we found ways to make edges even sharper without introducing computery artifacts. The images below show the difference between Blow Up 3 and the traditional bicubic photo resizer used by Photoshop and other image editors.
• New! Simplicity: Blow Up’s interface is deceptively simple. Just set your paper size as you would in Photoshop and optionally set a crop region. In version 3 we kept all the rocket science under the hood.
• New! Speed: Blow Up 3 runs faster on both Macintosh and Windows computers.
• Huge Images: You can resize up to 300,000 pixels per side, the maximum Photoshop can handle. Of course, Photoshop would choke on a square image that big, but if you are making a billboard that Photoshop can handle, so can Blow Up!
• CMYK: Blow Up can handle CMYK images used in offset printing and 16-bit/channel images used by professional photographers.
• Presets: Blow Up has presets for common paper sizes, including photo papers and standard US, European, and Japanese sizes.
• Output Sharpening: Just choose your paper type and Blow Up sharpens the right amount to compensate for ink diffusion.

The plug-in requirements are as follows

• Adobe Photoshop CS6 or Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 or newer
• Adobe Lightroom 6 or Adobe Lightroom CC 2015 or newer
