I was wondering if anyone knows a good pixel enhancement program. I got a job, and they have me doing print work. they dont have images good enough for print. so naturally i need to take the ones we have and make them a higher quality, anyone know what i can do?

If it's really small, like internet photo or similar the best you can do is this:
1. Resize the image to the print size you need at 300 dpi (basically if it doesn't have to be high high end print and it doesn't have rasterized text on the image 200-225 dpi should be fine)
1. Filter>Noise>Despeckle
(Use despeckle a couple of times to kill the compression sideeffects 3-4 times should be sufficient but you might have to do more depending on the compression)2. Filter>Noise>Add Noise
(Settings for the noise should be:
a) Amount 3-5% you might have to go up to 7%
b) Distribution should be Uniform
c) Unmark Monochromatic if it's onCheers.

genuine fractals is pretty cool, but if the image is shitty, then it will come out as a larger shitty image.
if it is a decent quality but low res image, then it will come out pretty good. just remember that it doesnt increase the quality of the image, just the files size, so that when you enlarge it, you dont lose quality. dig?
seems to be a standard in casino graphics departments.
