Comparison - Full Res Images vs. Redbubble Previews, Resampled using Genuine Fractals Print Pro

by Shaun Johnston

There has been some debate in rhe RedBubble community regarding the printability of RedBubble preview images. It is generally accepted that normal resampling methods will produce a vastly inferior print to that which an original image could.

However, it has been raised in discussion that Genuine Fractals Print Pro, a piece of software sold by onOne Software, employs a resampling algorithm that may be able to produce sellable prints from RedBubble previews.

The following tests allow you, the viewer, to judge the validity of these claims.
