Resize while Retaining Quality

[Jack]

For years I had been resizing photos in Photoshop using a third-party utility, whose name now escapes me. The idea is, as I recall, that ordinary, built-in, Photoshop resizing techniques are not too good at scaling-up the image content when serious increases in dimensions and/or image resolution are required. Can one of you please refresh my memory on this, how to go about it, package(s) to install, etc.

Perfect Resize -- (just found it again!) . . . thanks, please close this item.

You're probably thinking of Genuine Fractals, which is now ON1 Resize. Photoshop has added a new algorithm called "Preserve Details" which is pretty good. Have you tried that?
