Funny you should ask!
In the beginning...
For years Pine was THE program used to read email on a Unix system. The Pico text editor is the portion of the program one would use to compose his or her mail messages. Many beginners to Unix flocked to Pico and Pine because of their well organized, easy to use interfaces. With the proliferation of GNU/Linux in the mid to late 90's, many University students became intimately familiar with the strengths (and weaknesses) of Pine and Pico.
Then came Debian...

The program's installer files are generally known as PerfectResize.exe, Perfect Resize 7.5.exe, Perfect Resize 8.exe, Perfect Resize 9.exe or Register Perfect Resize 7.0 Professional Edition.exe etc. The program belongs to Photo & Graphics Tools.

Long-time readers of my blog know that I used to be a huge fan of Alien Skin Blowup because it used to beat older versions of Genuine Fractals (the predecessor to Perfect Resize).

The Debian GNU/Linux distribution, known for its strict standards in distributing truly 'free' software (i.e. software with no restrictions on redistribution), would not include a binary package for Pine or Pico. Many people had a serious dilemma: they loved these programs, but the versions available at the time were not truly free software in the GNU sense of the word.
The event...
It was in late 1999 when Chris Allegretta (our hero) was yet again complaining to himself about the less-than-perfect license Pico was distributed under, the 1000 makefiles that came with it and how just a few small improvements could make it the Best Editor in the World (TM). Having been a convert from Slackware to Debian, he missed having a simple binary package that included Pine and Pico, and had grown tired of downloading them himself.
Finally something snapped inside and Chris coded and hacked like a madman for many hours straight one weekend to make a (barely usable) Pico clone, at the time called TIP (Tip Isn't Pico). The program could not be invoked without a filename, could not save files, had no help text display, spell checker, and so forth. But over time it improved, and with the help of a few great coders it matured to the (hopefully) stable state it is in today.
In February 2001, nano was declared an official GNU program by Richard Stallman. nano also reached its first production release on March 22, 2001.
Perfect Resize uses fractal-based interpolation to enlarge digital images without losing sharpness or detail.
Perfect Resize Mac
The program opens with a thumbnail browser which allows you to select your target image (there's full support for layered Photoshop files).
Click Resize > Edit a Copy > OK and your image appears in the editing window. Crop the picture if necessary, then enter its new dimensions (pixels or a percentage), and click '100' to view it full-size.
Perfect Resize 7.5 License Number By Name
We found the program generally produced good results - no pixellation, a sort-of 'oil painting' effect on very large magnifications but nothing too serious - and if you're happy then you can just click 'Save & Close' to continue.
If your resized picture doesn't look so good, there are various settings which may be able to help: Image Type, Resize Method, Texture, Threshold, Smoothness, Sharpening, Film Grain, and more. Tweak any of these and the preview window updates within a few seconds to show you the results.
The program also supports some unusual extras. Turning on 'Tiling', for example, allows you to divide an enlarged image into smaller pieces that can be printed on a smaller printer. And 'Gallery Wrap' displays custom margins around the image, very useful to ensure it's framed correctly when you're printing on canvas.
Whatebver you're doing, the program does its best to fit into your workflow: you can run it standalone, as a Photoshop plug-in, or integrated with Lightroom, Photoshop Elements and Apple Aperture.
Adobe Perfect Resize
Please note, the download link takes you to a registration page where you must first enter your name, address and country. This gets you a 30-day trial which is otherwise unrestricted, and allows you to resize and save as many images as you like.
Verdict:
Its results vary depending on your source material, but Perfect Resize generally produced good quality images for us, even at high magnifications (6x). If you regularly resize images by a significant amount, and quality is vital, give it a try.
