Who Has a Great Version of PhotoShop and is Willing to Resize a Pic for ACME? =)

[ACMESkydiver 0]

Please?
I need to take a little pic and turn it into a pic that is 300dpp and will print 20"xsomething...I have to go check the specs the guy at Kit's Cameras gave me.

Who knew getting a photo blown up was so involved?

You need to inlarge a small picture? Ehhh...you might not like the outcome, depending on its original size it'll be grainy and look kinda crappy.

Oh, well the guy at Kit's Cameras said if I used photoshop to resize it, I'd have better luck than anything else...and I don't have PhotoShop.

I can tolerate some distortion...

I've got a full photoshop version, but I agree with AggieDave... Send it to me and I'll see what I can do. davedlg AT gmail DOT com

What are the specs of the camera it was taken on? If its not a 6+ megapixel you are looking at some serious distorition and grain issues appearing. If its a 2-3 megapixel I wouldn't go larger then 10*14 on it and even then will hav a lot of grain in it.

I didn't take the original pic; a friend posted it and I 'modified' it.

Thanks I'll have to run upstairs to the main computer when the twins go to bed...I thought I had transferred it onto the laptop but I just looked and it's not here.

Best software for resizing/resampling digital files is apparently S-spline or Genuine fractals.
Better results than Photoshop.

If you are working with a web resized version you really need to get the original. Typically you are looking at 1.2-2.5 meg file. Anything thats like 500kb or so is way too small to be resized more then 3*5"

-The original photo is a 906kb bitmap...I had to change the format to .jpg to put it in a frame on Despair.com, as Despair.com wouldn't accept a bitmap ...

I use vso all the time for changes in size just like this.
I have all the other fat apps to do it...but vso does it in seconds with no hassle...
