Raising the resolution on a digital picture I'd like to know if you know anyone that can raise the resolution on a digital picture. I have some pictures on a cd that have very low resolution, when you print them any larger than a wallet size, you see lines all over them. On the computer these pictures look great. I can e-mail these pictures to you if you'd like to take a look. These pictures are very important to me, and I'll do anything it takes to have them printed in some 5x7's and 8x10's etc. Waiting eagerly for a reply. Thanks in advance, Estie

check the image size in photoshop, and if actual size is something like 400x600 pixels, you won't get much past a 4x6 print. You can interpolate by increasing the image size by adding on to the dimensions in small steps for best results. And printing on photo paper at the highest quality print setting.

Estie, I'll offer a suggestion, assuming you have access to Photoshop (or Elements). I have had some success increasing the number of pixels in an image (in order to get a larger print) doing the following. Open the image in Elements, and open the menu item Image-->Resize-->Scale. From here you should have the ability to instruct the program to resize the image by a certain percentage (different versions of photoshop have different windows, so there's no one way to describe this part). Anyway, scale up the image, in increments, by about 10% at a time. Photoshop can do a surprisingly good job of upsizing and filling in the proper pixels to make up for the increase. Of course, it won't allow you to make poster prints from a snapshot, but perhaps it will help. The reason your image looks good on the computer is because monitors are relatively lo-res, on the order of 75dpi. Printers require something more like 300dpi to produce quality output (and that's not a hard and fast number, some do well with 200 dpi). I hope this helps.

Sounds like they are low res for a purpose. Don't go breakin' copyrights.
