My personal, non scientific, review.

I had a 18-135 zoom lens on my camera and wasn't looking for bird shots when somebody said eagle.
There he was a bald eagle flying by so I took the shot at 135mm:

I cropped and saved it to the size shown.

I enlarged the crop from 692 X 508px to 9000X6607px in Photoshop and then with Perfect Size 7.

I placed them side by side with the original crop, here's the result.

I hope you can see what I see, Perfect Size 7 really outshines PS when up sizing an image.

yes I love it I use it all the time worth the price tag if you do a lot of resizing

It does look clearer, but to be honest it looks painted in now, not that that's a problem BUT the image in my opinion as now come away from its original desire of being a photograph. Could see the tool you used having a use in some applications though, great comparison shots Steve.

I have had perfect results upto 400% enlargement on most pictures you have to take into consideration steve was only enlarging a handful of pixels so the software did not have enough to render on but for a small pic it is brilliant

Exactly, I was going for an extreme example to show a side by side.
IMHO there's no contest here, you choose for yourself.
