Reply:Get Gimp and you can inflate those heads to any size you desire.


It is just re-scaling the image.


If you don%26#039;t want the Gimp (free Gnu Image Manipulation Program) you could get the same effect with photoshop.





With gimp you just rescale it under image pushing your resolution and size up to what you need.


For these three images you would then have to crop them and position them in your sheet in the print preview.





Most photoeditors should be able to do this but Gimp is free.


Another way is just to download them to a floppy and take that to a place that prints images like Office Depot or Quickprint.
Reply:You are getting dumb answers because the correct term is %26quot;enlarge%26quot; a photograph, not %26quot;blow up.%26quot;
Reply:OK listen to me... the best way, regardless of the software, is to use a redundant 10% enlargement method.





To do this you will take the image and enlarge it by 10%... then enlarge it by 10% again and again until you get the size you want.





This is the very best way to enlarge a small image into a larger one.





If you can choose your resampling method use %26quot;bicubic smoother%26quot; or just %26quot;bicubic%26quot; for best results.





If you can not do this. send me an email address and I will do it for you.





I just finished Marylin and it is ready to be sent to you.
Reply:That is easy.





First, use photoshop or whatever software you have... open up your photos and resample the images at twice their size and re-resample them at 600 dpi





secondly, use the effect tool to blurr them very very slightly and then resharpen them, only slightly.





Now, scale them down, NOT downsampling... i did say re-size them down to 8 x 10.





When you print them, the printer can output at 1200 dpi or even 600 dpi will do a good job.





Just remember to always blow them up to 16 x 20. Then you apply what I said prior.
