Hi...again...

Has anybody tried resizing a very small image eg:50x50 pixels. Tried resizing it to for example, 650x650 pixels? Obviously the quality is going to go titties up. Is there anyway around this with photoshop or anything?

So, i want an avatar but i want it from 50x50 to 650x650 with decent'ish qual, any ideas y'all? Thanks

Does resizing a small penis count ?
Ahem.....I mean englarging an already stupendously gargantuan throbbing love trunk.

The FBI don't do it.
They're magic elves.
Elves are better than cops at photoshop. That why they can do it.
Thought everyone knew that...

Well, you CAN resize an image from say, 60x60 to 650x650, BUT...

You'll need a helluva lot of work with ye old image modifier to make it look good.

teach me great one.

All i've figured out so far is...

Resize it from 65 650.
Auto Contrast / Auto Levels
Desaturate
Sharpen more and more.

:D I learnt all this in 1 day.

As an example, here's -English-s avatar blown up to a hefty 650, with minor tweaks.

Then you pretty much got the outlines, etc, to just...labor away :D

Well.. do the math
It´s 60 pixels wide and 60 high. You want it to be 650 which is almost 11 times the original size. So each pixel from the original pic would be 11 pixels (of the same colour) in the resized pic, so you´ll get a lot of 11x11 squares, each one of the same colour. Obviously that´s not what you want, but that´s all the information the original pic contains. Everything else you need to do manually, you can´t expect Photoshop to squeeze more information out of nothing.

As Tohtori said, it´s possible, but it´s a LOT of work and basically you´d need to pain the entire picture by hand/mouse.

I'm no genius at photoshop or blowing pictures up. Was just wondering if it was possible.

Nice effort Toh. Better than whati come up with.

You know, just because your penis is small. Making the image bigger on photoshop doesn't make it bigger..

Didnt someone post a thread with a vid about a new prog that could do just that?
resize to any size that is ?

you could stretch and manipulate the image back and forth as you saw fit,

You mean this?

Doubt even that could upscale something that much

IMO the best solution to the OPs problem is just sitting really close to the screen.
