Scaling up an image with conventional techniques inevitably makes it softer and blurrier. Previously unnoticed imperfections like noise and compression artifacts will also become a lot more visible.
Topaz Vivacity's advanced resolution enhancement filter creates enlargements that are much more clean, crisp, and clear. They preserve the sharpness and clarity of the original and does not sacrifice detail for size. Click on the following examples for complete comparisons:

"JPEG image artifacts" refers to the unwanted blocks, dots, and fringes in JPEG-compressed images.
Nowadays, many images from digital cameras and websites are JPEG images. If the image is highly compressed to reduce the file size then JPEG compression artifacts become easily noticeable. Even high quality JPEG images still display compression problems when enlarged. Topaz DeJPEG eliminate JPEG artifacts almost completely and will become an integral part of your web workflow.
Here's an internet JPEG that looks pretty good at first glance:

However, viewing it at 200% reveals typical JPEG compression artifacts. Sharp edges are accompanied by fringes, mosquito noise, and other unwanted artifacts:

Topaz Vivacity effectively eliminates these JPEG artifacts and, as a result, enhances the clarity and coherence of the image:

Here's another example of a JPEG-compressed image viewed at 200%. The blocky JPEG compression artifacts are pretty obvious and definitely takes away from the image:

Topaz DeJPEG eliminates these JPEG artifacts and gives the image a much more natural look:

Topaz Vivacity is the most effective solution currently available for dealing with JPEG artifacts in compressed images.

There are two aspects of Topaz Vivacity that are explored to create this kind of effect. First, edge enhancing algorithms in the Clean filter tends to provide a clean and faceted image. Here, it's used to clean out unwanted details. Second, the line accentuation feature enhances the lines to create the exaggerated smooth wavy effect. Here's another example:

In this example, the line accentuated capability of Topaz Sharpen is pushed to create the effect.
