is there any good way to do this? resampling? file size?...
i know it is really bad to do, but with no other options but to use what you got..what is they best way? what have you done?

only thang i know is to add a slight blur after increasing pixels. still yucky

create a new doc in PS at 300 dpi, then drag your 72 dpi image onto the new doc, what ever size it ends up being is as much as you should scale it.
any bigger and it will be a poopy pants.

id say redo the thing you want, at 300 DPI...
or, do what i do, and design at 300 DPI.... (but youd need horsepower and hundreds of GB)
every now and then, some of my web stuff is used for print... and i have the 300 dpi versions to back that up .. and look good :)

there's a photoshop plugin called genuine fractals that you can use.

word. we use genuine fractals on everything that we need to enlarge (if it is a smallis file).
just keep in mind that GF will not make a great image from a piece of shit.
if you start out with a good quality but small file, then you will be ok. but if it starts as shit, then it will finish as shit.

72dpi is a myth

print it out as best as possible (epson 1440dpi, matte photo paper, whatever) photograph it,
develop photo, then scan the photo to whatever size you need.i've done it before, not the best way, but way better than scaling or genuine fractals (for this instance anyway)

sounds like a fairly lossy method lambsy...
