JustGav Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yup use something called irfanview, free bit of software and with the additional plug in pack will handle just about EVERYTHING thrown at it. http://www.irfanview.com Buzz them over and I'll do a bulk convert on them if you want.

Scott Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 You will always lose quality when enlarging. There isn't really any way to get past it. The resolution of the photo's you have is set. Granted there are programs that will make enlarging less choppy but quality will always be lost. A small pic looks good quality because its small Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I use photo resize magic (freeware). It works on a entire folders and does good resizing (would that be bicubic then? not sure, but it's the non-jaggie photoshop quality resizing, as opposed to some other methods in some other software).

CJ Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Jurgen's problem is that the original images are very small at only 160 x 106 pixel in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Jurgen's problem is that the original images are very small at only 160 x 106 pixel in size. No chance then. The information (pixels) just aren't there to begin with. You can't see (zoom into) something that's not there. You could double it in size, and it might still look OK-ish, but that's about as far as it'll go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 You can get away with a little if you enlarge, then blur the result (don't sharpen!) 160x160 = pretty much a non starter though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
