Hi friends, I am a watercolour artist. I paint landscapes and florals. I often find season photos on the web that I would like to use as a model for my painting so I down load the phot. Ususally it is 96DPI - I think. However whn I go to enlarge the image so I can see some of the details, becasue the photo is a bitmap, all I get is an enlarged low pixel photo. Usually the phtoos are maybe 2" by 1". Is there a way i can increase the size of the photo and retain its quality so I do not have a huge jagged edge, meaningless photo?
Thanks, Ji m Email this person |

When you download a photo on your computer it's Pixels... not Dots Per Inch. When it leaves the computer through the printer, then we're talking in dots
 You have to find photos with bigger resolution. You can use Photoshop or similar program to make a photo bigger, but then it will look bad because of the "fake" pixels that is added. You can't bring out information (data) that doesn't exist. |
