Alien Skin Blow Up 2, Image Resizing Plug-in Software for Photoshop, Macintosh & Windows Image Quality: Image quality is improved in many ways. Results are sharper, both during upsizing and downsizing. Noisy images are handled better. Research from the Exposure product was used to improve simulated grain. You now have control over simulated natural texture Output Sharpening: There are now controls for output sharpening. Just choose your medium (paper type or Web) and Blow Up sharpens the right amount JPEG Repair: There is now a slider for cleaning up overly compressed JPEG images. When a client insists on giving you a blocky photo they found on the web, you can clean it up during the resizing process Easy Batch Processing: There is now a batch processing tool that comes with Blow Up 2. This requires much less clicking than recording a Photoshop action and then running Photoshop's Automate-&gt;Batch command Previewing and Cropping: The previewing system has been completely redesigned. Zooming and cropping are integrated for improved workflow
