Priority: Low    

v2011.124 sets a new standard for print sharpness and detail with exclusive Fusion interpolation.  See http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage-u/tech-fus.htm for details.

I have requested the download with my e-mail but the supplied password in the reply does not activate the download.

Update: Never mind I got it sorted out. I entered the last two digits of the password as numerals but only the last was numeric.

Thanks Mike,

Looks like a generational step.

I compared otherwise identical prints, Hybrid-SE v Fusion and there is a subtle difference.

Looking forward to testing it further.

Crisper ad smoother without artefacts is how I would describe it  8)
Last night I made some jpegs from raw files with a print crop to give 120and 100ppi and then looked at these with the comparator using the swap feature and zoomed in 1 click. The differences very very obvious to me.
This morning I made some comparative prints of 2 different images (see attached) and printed a crop at 120ppi with Fusion Hybrid & Hybrid SE; again the differences were clear to see.
A great job Mike, Peter is right, "a generational step".
Remember that urban myth about needing 300ppi for prints? That is well blown away now, 120ppi or even 100ppi will give a very good print, no need to pay out for all those extra mega pixels.  ;D

I was looking for shots to compare Fusion and found this, see attached.  ;)
Not the best example but note the name on the kite!

So was I, but for anyone who hasn't visited the Qimage Ultimate site, here's the link, and the sample shot.

This really shows the improvement!

Just look at the top (brownish)  curvy strip just below the "QU-Fusion" words. That is amazing!

I agree but the image was shown because the kite was called Fusion, not the best to demo QU Fusion though.  ::)
