Originally posted by Olyuzi: First, can uprez software, such as Genuine Fractals and Q-Image, increase resolution of our photos on DPC to produces files that would print out high quality photographs? |
Possibly, depending on the initial image, compression, and size of the target print.
Originally posted by Olyuzi: If so, then what's to stop someone from stealing our photos and using this software in such a manner and selling these prints in some far off place? |
Nothing except that there are easier targets elsewhere (larger images, for example)
Originally posted by Olyuzi: Secondly, could it conceivably be argued, say in court, that since the interpolation these programs perfom add pixels non-existent in the original file, that the copyright of the given image does not apply to the upsampled one? |
Sure it could. It could be argued in court that pigs can fly, too. Neither argument would be likely to be successful.
