One or two forum members at DPReview have recommended Reshade as a free alternative to upsampling software like Topaz Gigapixel AI. The Reshade website (http://reshade.com/) indeed says it is (as of 2017, apparently) free; however, it does not appear to follow any of the familiar models of open-source software, honor-system freeware, etc.
Can the forum members here tell me anything about Reshade and whether it is legitimate freeware without any dangerous / malicious components?
Thanks!
(As a semi-aside: this is my first post here. Another DPR forum member recommends this site. I’ve been using GIMP since 2003 or so, and CHDK since probably about 2010.)
Hi & welcome! Reshade looks to be a gratis application, that is, without cost. The FAQ does not name a specific license, nor do I see a link to source code.
Gratis software is nice, but we care a lot about the libre type of free.
OK; first attempt. I know not a great image, but it is what it is. Pretty impressed; great job with edges (but needs more cleanup with the jpegs). Just hope I didn’t install anything that will hijaak my PC. lol
