The Industry Standard for Image Enlargement
Genuine Fractals 6 is the industry standard for image resizing. It is renowned across the
photographic and printing industries for its ability to increase image size over 1000%
without the loss of sharpness or detail that you would normally expect. Its patented, fractal
based interpolation algorithms work like nothing else and the results speak for themselves.
Genuine Fractals 6 allows you to crop and resize your image in a single step with no guess
work. Its new Tiling feature makes it easy to get your enlargements printed just the way you
want. Fire up the batch processing engine to resize an entire folder of images quickly.

Better than any other resizing method
Genuine Fractals patented scaling algorithm is fundamentally different from bicubic or other
interpolation and resizing methods found within Photoshop or in any other third-party plug-in or
standalone application. While other resizing methods sample nearby pixels one-by-one, Genuine
Fractals looks for repeating patterns in an image, samples blocks of pixels of various sizes, and
patches them together to create a larger version of the original. Sampling and recreating blocks of
pixels multiple times in this manner preserves fine details like edges, smooth areas, and textures,
resulting in an exceptional quality enlargement.

You can see clearly in this example how much better Genuine Fractals performs in resizing than the Bicubic
Smoother algorithm (the default method for upsizing within Photoshop).

NEW Gallery Wrap Feature

When making enlargements for canvas, it is common to wrap a portion of the image around the
wooden stretcher bars, creating a gallery wrap. However, when wrapping an image in this way,
important detail can be lost near the edges. The new Gallery Wrap feature in Genuine Fractals 6
Professional Edition automatically creates extended margins by reflecting or stretching the areas
near the edge of the image allowing you to create a gallery wrap without sacrificing any of the
original image.

NEW Tiling Feature

Now you can get large format printing from a small format printer, quickly and easily. The new
Tiling feature divides an enlargement into smaller pieces, preparing it for printing on a standard-
sized printer. Just specify the paper size and overlap option and Genuine Fractals 6 will
automatically resize the image and create individual tiles that are ready for printing.

NEW Batch Processing

New in Genuine Fractals 6 is an improved version of the onOne batch processing engine. This
allows you to resize an entire folder of images to a consistent size and create up to two new
versions of an image. You can control the size, resolution, file formats, name and location, color
space, and even add a watermark logo.

NEW Photoshop Lightroom & Aperture Integration

Genuine Fractals 6 plugin can now be used inside of Lightroom and Apple Aperture, in addition
to Adobe Photoshop.

NEW Texture Presets

Genuine Fractals 6 now features texture presets for common image scenarios so even a novice
user can get improved texture control results easily.

Any Size, Made Easy
Have you ever tried making an 8x10 print from your digital camera file? You can't get it to fit that
8x10 size - it's either 8x12 or 7x10 - because most digital camera sensors are a different aspect
ratio from common paper sizes. This forces you to crop your image to get it to fit a specific paper
size, and it can be difficult to determine how to do this and whether to do it before or after you
resize the image. Genuine Fractals comes to the rescue with over sixty built-in document size
presets that allow you to precisely crop and resize your image in one simple step.

Genuine Fractals User Interface for Mac
With the new Genuine Fractals 6, you not only get a better scaling algorithm, but you also get access to the
key variables of the algorithm so you can fine tune your results for your specific image. The new Texture
Control section within Genuine Fractals 6 allows you to adjust the strength of the Genuine Fractals
resizing algorithm on continuous tone areas and to edges independently of one another.

STN File Format

Another benefit of Genuine Fractals is its ability to compress an image losslessly. By saving your
image in the STN file format that comes with Genuine Fractals, you can store your image in half
the space it would normally occupy. And when you open this file you can specify the image size
in which it will open. So rather than keeping several versions of your image for printing at different
sizes, you can keep just one and open it to whatever size you need.
