Digital BW, The Print

I've been using Fractals / Resize for some time also.. and the CC version of PS has really improved ..actually in many areas.. Anyway you may want to download the latest version of OnOne their in their 3rd beta of a new release.. they improved their algorithms also in vers 8 
In your post I thought we were going to see a comparison between Perfect Resize and the new PSCC version.. I see a 200% of resize, an original image  and one that says  no resize  ...What am I looking at???

I really like PS CC where it going with smart objects is scary.. we can now use all the raw tool on tiff's etc. non destructive etc... but large files..

  I made the switch to PS CC on the $9.99/month plan for several reasons.  One of the most important is that the new image resizing algorithms are much better (and, I believe, not available on CS6).  I have been using Genuine Fractals, now called Perfect Resize, for years to up-res files.  A "smart" up-res of 200% effectively increases the signal to noise ratio and is particularly valuable whenever one is going to alter the geometry of a file, including straightening (leveling), altering perspective, or stitching.  Whenever a file's geometry is altered, information (sharpness) is lost.  This loss can be minimized if a smart resize was done prior to the geometry correction.   I've posted an example of the impact on the image here: http://www.paulroark.com/Perfect-Resize-comparison.jpg .  PS CC's new up-res capabilities beat Genuine Fractals/Perfect Resize, and it's nice to not have to fire up a separate piece of software.
