More modern, single image, techniques however, can actually add extra detail that wasn’t there to begin with. Fractal techniques for enlarging images have existed for many years, but are really just retaining existing detail, during enlargement, in a plausible way. Super-resolution is a term with many modern meanings, but basically involves those techniques which add detail to poor resolution and grainy images. I'm not sure whether that is proof of a gross lack of photographic taste, or whether it is another one of his efforts to get people talking about him.Super-Resolution Overview of Super-Resolution Techniques, What are we Discussing Here? I think he has earned every bit of negative criticism for this.Īnd yes, Velvia simulation mode with +4 saturation is just over-the-top excessive. You make a point of "not bashing on Rockwell", but I am bashing on him. I don't believe anyone would pursue this sort of mischief for years just for "fun" I believe it is ultimately about making money.

His modus operandi is to get under your skin and thus prompt you to quote him somewhere. That appears to be his admission of, and self-justification for, telling people junk that is simply not true. His disclaimer somewhere on the site is that he loves a good hoax, loves to make stuff up, or words to that effect. The rest is not so much about giving readers good guidance as it is about getting them talking (about him). The only thing reliable on his site, as far as I can see, is where he regurgitates manufacturer specs. He knows that Internet success is not based on absolute quality of information, but rather on links and more links and sheer dumb traffic numbers, because some of that inevitably leads to affiliate payments and even donations from the unwary and the gullible. I believe that is a core element of his formula for "success", such as it is. He has done this over and over again, year after year, for many years now. Practically everything he writes is littered with something that is just plain stupid or outrageous and thus bound to get people quoting him.
