From what I've seen as I've been looking at that type of software, is one has to go easy or it looks like a google blur when you zoom too close to the ground. Goog now does that purposely.

Won't pass judgement until I tried it though. Their hype advertising looked a little cheesy however. But if you've got a clean image, it probably is the way to go to retain detail, as you're not trying to correct anything.

But I do believe that technology to do this has improved greatly. Interestingly, you can do some nice bokeh going to the extreme effects.

When viewed up close one can definitely see artifacts, no surprise considering the size of the enlargement -170x113 cm (69"x44") from a 2640 x 1760 picture.

Below you can see some close-ups, with reference to the full picture in the first post.
