I am looking for a program that will when increasing the size of a lo-res image fill in the pixels so it does not look like crap

That's called JPG compression.

try s-spline.
Works good with logo's less with pictures but worth to try it.

It's a program that takes a lo-res image, and turns it into a hi-res image without loss of quality
like magic!!

Just take a second and try and work out the logic of how one might actually achieve such results from a limited set of data.
Impossible, isn't it!
So. No program, sadly. You'll just have to make do with scaling things up and down again and bodging the results. You could try scaling up 2x more than your required output, using 'nearest neighbour' (in PShop) then scaling down to output with biCubic. I *think* that begins to approximate your requirements... but not wholly.
Just play.

i got a program that will resize even the lowest size image to any imaginable size. It uses a remote array of supercommuters to asses the image's content, recreates it in 3d and renders it with MentalRay in a high resolution. Just last night i enlarged a blurry 200x300 pixel jpeg for print use on a large billboard. Paypal me $200 and i'll send it to you.

..i assume you're working with photo quality or high detail imagery?
If not, an option would be to remake in vector then scale up..

I like your profile image toastie.

MAGres Fixer 3.0 from tucows is what the little oriental guy in my division uses.

same for you, buddy

aren't s/ware options a crock though? I remember we played around with 'some' fractal format a few years back, and that worked 'ok', but that's only 'cos the source file held a lot more usable data in the first place.
presumably we're talking about downloaded jpegs here, straight outta Google Heights.

i assume you thought I was kidding.

Sorry guys
One of the project managers asked me this today. I have told him that it will not work and i can resize the image in Photoshop then put some noise into it to help cover up the pixelation but he was having none of it, so I thought i would ask just to make sure .
Cheers guys

hah, toastie, I kind of cottoned on that you were extruding fact somewhat, i was more replying to carver and 'tother.
whatever though, i'd love to be proven wrong - i've been looking for such a solution for years.. as have most other webniks, i imagine.

get the project manager to stump up the dollar for the hi-res image
:)

it's cool... it's only a prototype.. not enough supercommuters in mah array
