Is there a way to increase the resolution of images?
7 replies, posted
I don't have photoshop, but I assume there's some ridiculous feature that can do it.
If there is, would someone mind doing it for me?
I'd be really grateful.
Alternatively, can someone suggest a program or a method (in paint.NET or Gimp) that works just as well?
Thanks in advance.

Also, sorry if this the wrong section, I wasn't really sure where to put it. If it is, would a mod kindly move it, please.
paint?
What? You mean like magically increase the resolution and the detail? Not possible without cheating, you can't create something out of nothing. You can use sharpen filters and such to give the illusion that the picture is more high res than it actually is, though.
GIMP and/or Paint.NET would probably have something like image->image size, or something like that.
It's possible to increase the size of the picture, but the resolution just fucks up.

Not magically. The shit photoshop can do, I expected it to be able to do this.
You can make them bigger, but usually sharpening fucks it up, so you can only blur it down, which doesnt look bad on some pics, but details = no way.
When you increase an image's resolution, it does not increase the detail, but instead stretches the original pixels to be larger to fit the new resolution.
For example, if you had a 200x200 image, if you stretched it to be 400x400, it would not look any better. Each pixel would just be two times its original size, thus being 400x400.
As for the sharpening filter, that usually makes it look worse, and won't really increase detail but instead just contrast the lines in the image more.
