Reshade stand alone version soon to be released in beta. The demo will be available for download on the site. In the meantime check out some of the features:
Reshade application
Video of a reshade session
Highlights:
infinite zoom ability, limited to 100x (10000% increase in image area) because of running out of pixels
refined edge control
smoothing for defects, noise, compression artifacts and other image problems
contrast details - small level sharpening
accuracy - even finer control over edges in the image
See the results of the new quality improvements to the reshade algorithm. The effects are more noticeable for larger zooms. Here is an example of a 400% enlargement (1600% in area).

The most noticeable changes are better edge estimation and stronger possible sharpening (without side-effects).
A correction has been implemented to the sharpen coefficient. It is now dependent on the zoom factor. This allows specifying the same sharpen value to obtain the desired edge-contrast for varying levels of zoom.
The interpolation quality will be better in the stand alone reshader. It runs a little slower than the one on the site, but it’s worth the processing time if running it on your own computer.
When exaggerating the level of thinning, some aliasing might arise. An anti-alias filter has been implemented for this purpose. It’s pretty slow for now, and not available online, but very useful considering that there is no replacement for it except non-automatic solutions.
