I tried it yesterday.

*If* the original hi-res still is not sharpened,

Imaginate does a good job of pan/zoom within the

image with less artifacting than when the same

operations are done with the same image in Premiere,

using the "image-pan" filter. Regardless of how

"deflicker" and slight vertical "better Gaussian blur"

are used, the Imaginate results look better, though

not perfect, unfortunately... If "12" is perfection

(utterly smooth results, even with difficult material),

and "0" is terrible, I would give Premiere at best

a "4" for this, and Imaginate a "7". Still looking

for at least a "10"...;-)
