ReShade Client is a simple and effective instrument allowing to resize images maintaining quality and realism.

ReShade Client is a simple and effective instrument allowing to resize images maintaining quality and realism. There is a range of different tasks requiring professional processing of images, for example typographic art, manufacturing of billboard ads and decorations, cinema industry, etc. Those tasks might demand images of large, sometimes very large sizes, and this can become a great problem if a pattern is much smaller then the expected image. Of course, to enlarge an image there must be used a qualitative algorithm because losing quality of an image is extremely unwanted.

So, we introduce you ReShade Client – software that uses an original and qualitative algorithm of resizing images without the lost of quality.

ReShade client has a simple interface, so simple that it can be called elementary.

It has only two buttons: Open and Save and some components of adjusting the resizing process.

We just have to open an image, set up a required size, adjust the algorithm of the process (if necessary), and then to save the processed image on the hard drive. That's simple!

Here are some observations. Firstly, saving can take quite a time while the progress-bar is working unpredictably. The indicator on the progress-bar can stop at the 50% mark producing the impression of a hanging application, and then jump straight to the end of the progress bar indicating a successful completion.

Secondly, ReShade Client opens a registration window at every start of the program. The unregistered version of the program lays a watermark on the processed image and ,in my opinion, this stimulate sales better than irritating "buynow windows".

Let's look at how ReShade Client works. Look at this image:

Now we'll try to enlarge this fragment of the image.

Here is the result of resizing using Adobe Photoshop.

And here is the result of enlarging the image with ReShade Client.

And one more image after processing with ReShade Client with other settings.

I believe, the last image is close in quality to the original though it was much smaller than the initial image! And, of course, the capabilities demonstrated by ReShade Client are more impressive than the capabilities of the algorithm used by Adobe Photoshop.

As I have already said, ReShade Client doesn't offer many interface options, neither it provides any Help files. The main source of information about working with the ReShade Client is a blog on the developers' site. Though, it is very vivid and convenient, and it is full of different samples, video tutorials and articles about working with ReShade Client and processing images in general.

I got very interested in the article grounding economically the advantages of using an effective resizing algorithm. Here is an example. The price of an image depends on its size and resolution, so if you have a small and cheap image, it will be much wiser to enlarge it than to buy a big one because the difference in prices can reach hundreds or even thousands of dollars - count yourself what you'll spend if you need several dozens or even hundreds of copies. Of course, after resizing the quality of the image will go worse, but, firstly, it can still be suitable for your purposes, and, secondly, using ReShade Client may become profitable even when you need to enlarged just one image.

Personally I think that ReShade Client cannot be called a completed product – it has what to develop and improve. At the stage it is just a demonstration of a very convenient and qualitative algorithm. I believe the program is developed for businesses rather than for home use. If only you are not going to make a huge poster with your dog or a puzzle with a photograph of your villa.

A license for ReShade Client costs $149 - quite expensive - but, as I've already told you, it's justified. A trial version of the program has a classical limitation for that type of programs - it leaves a watermark with the company's logo on the processed image.
