  • Enlarge a photograph without losing pixel

    #1
    I need to enlarge a small size photograph into big size. we know if you zoom it the pixel is broken down. so is there any tools that will help to enlarge this photo?

    You might be able to push it a bit with photoshop, but all of the extrapolation tricks in the world can't enhance detail.

    Unfortunately a decent camera set to it's highest image resolution and the same subject/scene is the best answer.

      Kermie nailed it. There are no tricks. You can't CSI images if the detail isn't there. if it's a decent quality image to start with you may be able to scale it up some, but eventually it breaks down.

        I've found that you can generally bump it up approx. 20% without being able to notice any sort of loss in quality. Anything beyond that, and you start taking your chances.

          You can't just "enhance" it?

            It also depends on viewing distances.

              Yes, sorry...I should have qualified my response a bit more...

              In the magazine world, you can increase it about 20% and get away with it, for normal reading distance. More than that, and you're taking your chances.

                Of course that depends on the picture to begin with. With a large, high quality photo, I've successfully bumped them up more than 20% and gotten away with it. With a small pic, even 10% is usually too much.

                  which is exactly why I said "about" 20% it's just an approximate average I've encountered over the years. but yes, crappy photo to start with, you're SOL no matter what you do. Shit in = Shit out.

                    So it's decided. There isn't a "carved in stone" amount you can extrapolate an image as it depends on it's use and the image's original size, quality & subject matter.

                      lol. Exactly. Everything about it is situation dependent.

                        Nope, I;ve found that 36.12% is the limit regardless of photo quality or how the photo is being used.

                          Come on now. The answer is 42. What the OP really wants is the correct question that puts the answer into perspective.
