What about this?

Wheel o Destiny · October 2nd, 2004

Just wanted to know if anyone could make this pic bigger and sharper, and if not could someone tell me of a way that I can do it myself?

**Yeloazndevil** · October 2nd, 2004

even if u enlarge the pic and use a sharpen filter it will look horrible

**FLaRe85** · October 2nd, 2004

It's usually easier to scale pictures down in size than up.

Once you make the picture smaller you cant return it to the original state, unless you are using photoshop and just press "undo"

Cid Highwind · October 2nd, 2004

Shouldn't this be in the general pictures section?

**_E_** · October 2nd, 2004

Done. Perhaps some interpolation filters ( if any) might help .

Yours,

Well it might help to a certain extend, but it will blur things up so it will only work if it won't be enlarged too much, though it's worth a try.

Perhaps Razor Blade knows something, he's one of the best ppl here at photoshopping.

well resizing it to become large would still result in pixelationif you increase the image resolution... even via photoshop... if you want to make it bigger, what would be your preferred size?

**GiGaHeRz** · October 3rd, 2004

You can also use a 2x filter like Scale2x or 2xSAI, and then, if it's less than 2x, scale down to your preferred size.

There is also a filter in M$ Photo Editor, not sure how it's calledi n english, something like "refine", that might help...

Some tests...

yeah, as pretty much everyone already said, scaling images (especially when enlarging them) makes them lose lots of quality, even to more of an extent when the image has a low resolution in the first place

this is the real advantage to working with vectors, no matter how you resize the image it will still be generally the same
