“I went into this thinking Photoshop does a pretty good job of enlarging your images. And then I tried Genuine Fractals and I realized, there is no other way.”

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 Professional Edition 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.

Reduces the size of big files

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. It's resolution on demand!

Awards and Accolades

“I went into this thinking Photoshop does a pretty good job of enlarging your images. And then I tried Genuine Fractals and I realized, there is no other way.”

Matt Kloskowski
Photoshop Guru and host of Photoshop User TV

“The prints I made startled me. Any flaws that enlargement would ordinarily accentuate, such as camera blur or weak edges, were of course exaggerated by the degree of enlargement, as you might expect. But those artifacts and jaggies that I thought would occur due to over-enlargement, limitations assumed by file size, were simply not there.”

George Schaub
Shutterbug

“Genuine Fractals Professional 6 is now the standard that I base all other resizing tools against. The performance is very good, and more importantly, the results are outstanding. OnOne Software has done a great job with this upgrade, making it a worthwhile purchase for current or new users.”

“Genuine Fractals just keeps getting better. It installs easily and really requires no learning curve to begin to use it. This new version of Genuine Fractals 6.0 represents a significant update of onOne's award-winning plug-in software. This version, while retaining the same powerful scaling capabilities, has enhanced its scaling engine and added more end user control for even more fine range image management than ever before.”

“Interpolation - the process of adding pixels to an image - should be handled with care. Using Photoshop's Image Size dialog... sometimes works, but quality can suffer. We got better results with Genuine Fractals.”

American Photo Magazine

“Genuine Fractals consistently delivers quality enlargements with ease and you don't have to be a pro to get pro results. And, yes, that's still BIG news.”

Zoom Street Magazine

“How well does Genuine Fractals work? I took a few photos, upsampled them using Genuine Fractals, and submitted them to two stock photography houses that don't accept upsampled images. (They've even rejected more than a dozen of my images that they suspected were upsampled.) My original images were 3002x2000 pixels and I scaled them up to 6004x4000 before submitting them. The stock photography houses evaluated the photos and accepted all of them.”
