The most recent Shutterbug gave a rather glowing report to the
program/PhotoShop plug-in "Genuine Fractals", but since they rarely -- if
ever -- publish anything but positive reviews, I was wondering if there are
any users out there who can shed some light on the programs pluses and
minuses.

TIA

I use it and find it very good for large scale upsizing. I got it
because Alamy stock images require 40meg tiffs and suggest it should
be used for upsizing for submission.

Here are some unbiased reviews.

But remember these are based on old version. 4.1 now doesn't require
the STN format and works with all CS2 formats.

Here's on 4.1.
