I am doing some resizing for my family with a few photos that she needs enlarged. The photo's get too pixelated even if i change the dpi to say 350, not sure if anything can be done. The original file size is 3.8kb, 96 x 72, 0 dpi, RGB
any advice?

0 dpi, eh? Well, even assuming this is a typo you're still not going to get anything out of an image that size.

If you're starting with an tiny image like this, there's nothing you can do. Was this scanned and sent to you this way? Can it be rescanned at a higher resolution?

These might be the thumbnail previews of the images. It is doubtful you would even be able to meaningfully look at these images if they are this big (assuming 72dpi). Have a look for files of a similar name in a different folder/directory.

96x72 pixels? If that is the size you'll be bale to make a postage stamp out of it and not much else.

Cant you use that software that they use on CSI Miami to read number plates and zoom in on peoples faces etc?
:)
Can you get your hands on the originals?

it was an image saved on snapfish... her hard drive crashed and she wanted to see if there was any way to make the image larger...

thanks for the input... didn't know if anything could be done, apparently not too much
- Hard drive crashes are generally not the total disaster they seem to be.MrOneHundred

you could try genuine fractals, but it costs $$, and you're still not going to get anything that great from that small

Genuine Fractals works pretty good. I used to use it. My company recently got Alien Skin Blow Up though. It works fantastically! Wouldn't recommend anything else.
- yep, it's not bad but with what he's starting with it'll still be crap.airey
