Is there a way to enlarge a picture without pixelating it and making it all blurry?

Any kind of program I can download or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!Is there a way to enlarge a picture without pixelating it and making it all blurry?
Mistress is right!





It all starts in the camera. If the camera is set to get the most photos out of a card, you will end up with images that cannot be enlarged beyond about 4x6 inches.





If the image you want to enlarge is worth all the time and effort, you are better off shooting it again and set your camera for fine resolution and large image (that is how some cameras describe the best photo quality) or RAW if your camera has it.Is there a way to enlarge a picture without pixelating it and making it all blurry?
You're always going to lose some resolution when you enlarge a picture.


How distorted it gets as you enlarge depends on the resolution of the camera (how many megapixels).


Be sure your camera is set at it's maximum resolution. If it's a pic that you got off the net or one that's already taken, you're outta luck.
not exactly. But the best best is to try the smothing function on good photo software after increasing the size.
Sometimes what I do is I copy/paste the picture on Microsoft Word, and increase the size using the ';format picture'; option, then I save the word file as a web page (complete).


That will produce a file named, for example ';Document 1'; AND a folder named ';Document 1 files';. On that folder you'll have the enlarged version of the picture, wich you can then rename, copy and move to your usual photo software.





If you don't want to save the Word file, you can only open Microsoft Word, paste the picture, enlarge it and then copy it on the clipboard and paste it on your photo editor....





Files enlarged that way are usually lower in definition than the originals, but they get way less blurry!!
