How can you enlarge a picture without it being pixelated and retaining the maximum quality?

The lower the resolution picture that you have to begin with (your source picture), the less information there is in it, so when you enlarge it, the default enlarge operation will pixelate it, as it just in effect increases the size of the source data.\n\nYou can of course apply filters to the enlarged image. So you could apply a blur or soften filter to get rid of the pixelation. You can also apply inference algorithms to it, which look at the enlarged picture, and by inferring which pixels / colours / lines / edges are most likely to be there - it won't guarantee you're right, but it's educated guesswork. This is what you often see implied on films when the FBI zoom into a blurry picture and get high detail, although it's not nearly as easy as the films imply.\n\nOf course, in the end, the best way is to ensure that your source image is of a high enough resolution, so that you can  always go back to the original high res source image.

Yes, I would recommend a program called Irfan View, you can find it on Irvanview.com.. (its free too) You can perform whats called a Batch Conversion, you just select the pictures you want, and set the size you want, or tell it to reduce or increase size by percentages or pixels. If you do download the program, the option is in File>Batch Conversion, You can also change the format of the image, and alot more.

Simply use photoshop (paint might work).\n\nLook in your preferences on your computer for what screen resolution you are using.\n\nThere is 800x600, 1024x768, etc. Then just create the image and make it that size.

In any image editing program like The GIMP or Photoshop, use the "Scale Image" option to make it bigger, and save it as a new file. Don't save over the old one.

For upsizing a photo, you need some sort of photo editing software. Google's Picasa (http://picasa.google.com) will do the trick.\n\nWhen you upsize it, however, it will come out looking blurry. It would be much better to find someone with a digital camera to take a larger picture of you.

Any image software will do good reducing size of files and retain the quality. However, if you want to enlarge an image and retain image quality, that is impossible.

The resolution (megapixels) of an image determines how big you can make prints that look good. Look at the table below for more information. If you have saved a picture with low resolution, there is no way to increase the resolution again. That is why you should always keep a copy of the original around, or use photo editing software that can always undo back to the original image (like picasa, for example).

Well, there are different ways to shrink it. There is the dpi level and the resolution. Lowering the dpi but leaving it at the same resolution will reduce the file size and the quality.  Lowering the resolution but not the dpi will also reduce the file size but the image will be as clear as possible still.\n\nAs for software you can use, I find Photoshop to be the best, but if you are looking for something free, try GIMP for Windows. Its a port of the famous Linux photo/graphic editing package.  You can find the link in the source here.\n\nSo for a cell phone, I would guess a small 120x120 resolution with s 72dpi would be more than enough.  Without knowing your phones model I can't be sure though.

A simple way would be to use a photo editor like Microsoft Photo or Adobe Photoshop or even Microsoft Paint that comes with Windows.  Each of these has the ability to change the resolution and size of the file.

Reduce the image to either 300 or 240.... then use the Canvas tool to reduce the image to your specification.... you need a good graphics application to do this.... such as Photoshop or The Gimp.

Try using the "CROP" function in your program.  This will cut off the part of the picture you don't want but I found you have to experiment with it first to get it right so back-up the picture you are going to use in case it all goes wrong.

Two ways:\n1) Start with your camera. Change the setting to lowest pixel size but to High Quality so they can still be crisp at that resolution.\nFrom the camera control button, usually located near the LCD screen. Press menu and scroll for the picture setting. From there experiment taking photo at various settings until you can find the best settings for your picture's size and quality.\n\n2) Software resizing. Most cameras comes with a photo editor CD. Intall it on your computer and view the photo you have taken. From the menu tool bar, go to rezise photo. There will be a dialog box showing the pixel size of the photo you opened. Reduce the number on the vertical and horizontal. Usually the vertical adjustment syncronize to the horizontal. Don't worry you can always undo the result if you are not happy with it, or better yet, copy the picture you want to edit and edit only the copied photo.

Download.com has many programs available that can do this.  Most are free trials to be downloaded, but if you only need it once, they are perfect.  A couple good ones are Irfanview and Paint Shop Pro.  Once downloaded, just use them to open the image, click on resize, and use the % function to reduce the image.  Start around 75%, and if that isn't enough, repeat.  Good luck!
