BenVista PhotoZoom Classic

Due to the various compression algorithms that apply to the images you download from the internet, detail loss can very often occur, making the photo look unkempt as a result.

Resizing and upscaling methods exist to help you better manage that loss of detail, and the solution provided by BenVista PhotoZoom Classic is both efficient and simple to use by just about anyone. Whether you only want to enlarge a photo to make it skirt around the compression algorithms, or merely upscale it — there are many ways to do so.

The interface of this program is a simple one, so everyone can make use of the upscaling and resizing algorithms on offer with just a few inputs. It's clear that ease-of-use is a priority of this software: upon starting it, all you have to do is import a photo, then choose and tweak the method of your choice.

As for the methods themselves, they're quite numerous. Eleven distinct algorithms are freely available, each coming with its own settings and presets. If you wish for a less or more aggressive algorithm, you can fine-tune it to match your preferences — change its strength, boost its details and sharpness, raise or lower the artificial detail, and more.

The way in which the program lets you view the changes to your photo is very useful, helping you fine-tune its effects. There's a slider you can move, which highlights the before-and-after, and the option to split your image is also available.

Pairing this feature with the resolution resizing is especially handy: any changes to the resolution will be reflected in the preview, allowing you to gauge the detail of your image at a glance. There's also a Print shortcut, so upscaling your photos before printing them would be a great way to maintain their clarity.

In conclusion, PhotoZoom Classic is an easy-to-use app that allows everyone to improve the clarity of their images in just a few steps.
