Ironically enough, on the day I started &#8220;SHIT DOESN&#8221;T WORK&#8221; I encountered the unhelpful &#8220;has stopped working&#8221; message to brighten my day. I downloaded a\u00a0free version of Perfect Effects but could never get it to go.\u00a0Anything I tried to do in that software returned the opaque &#8220;Perfect Effects 8 has stopped working&#8221; window, offering no error log or any way to debug the problem. Eventually I discovered I had out of date video drivers, and partly on account of having bothered the tech support at\u00a0onOne Software about this\u00a0issue (which was not their problem) I ended up buying the full suite.\u00a0I&#8217;ve used it minimally since purchasing it but today&#8217;s adventure in resizing small images with minimal degradation ended in\u00a0annoyance. This software also makes no attempt to\u00a0restart where you left off before the crash, or to recover lost work. It also has no apparent support for industry standard alt+ keyboard combination shortcuts to access menu items.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, I did get as far as resizing an image from its original 1024 wide resolution to 3000. Here&#8217;s the before and after for that. It&#8217;s not bad, though I see where it could use further work to make the upsized image more convincing. Clicking the second image opens a new window with the full sized 3000px wide image.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_223\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wsbj.com\/sorabji\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Photo_091106_009.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-223\" class=\"size-full wp-image-223\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wsbj.com\/sorabji\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Photo_091106_009.jpg?resize=1080%2C864&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Treo Cameraphone Photo Before Upsize\" width=\"1080\" height=\"864\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Treo Cameraphone Photo Before Upsize<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_224\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wsbj.com\/sorabji\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Photo_091106_009_resized.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-224\" class=\"wp-image-224 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wsbj.com\/sorabji\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Photo_091106_009_resized.jpg?resize=1024%2C819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Treo Cameraphone Photo Upsized With Perfect Resize\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-224\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Treo Cameraphone Photo Upsized With Perfect Resize.
