Hi.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Free Transform is not the ideal tool to use to increase the size of your image.

Try Image > Image Size. There you can make the measurements larger, and / or you can increase the Pixel Count.

If you just increase the measurements, all you are doing is spreading the Pixels over a bigger area, and Jaggies will result if the Pixel per Inch figure gets too low.

If you increase the number of Pixels, by ticking "Resample", and then also increasing the Measurements, you will not get Jaggies, but you will decrease the quality of the Image.

If the the Information is not there in the first place, you can not add it.

Scan or Shoot at a higher Pixel Count originally.

Yes, that is correct.

If you increase the size of a pixel image, you decrease its quality. Period.

There is no program, no technique, and no algorithm that can increase the size of a pixel image and create detail that is not in the original. Nothing. It can not be done, period.

When you increase the size of an image in Photoshop, you degrade its quality, and there is nothing you can do about that. The correct way to increase the size of an image is to create it at the correct size to begin with.

Sorry…

Thanks for your quick reply……….

If i downloaded an image and i want to increase, the size of the image for printing purpose what is the best method…

Could we do this in Photoshop……..

And one more thing can view the print size in photoshop window (not in print preview). The size we get by pressing Ctrl+Alt+zero (100%) is that the print size……….

Hi again.

If you actually read my response of 20th November, you would see that I told you how to do it.

BUT there is no way of doing it without losing quality.

Open Image Size, uncheck Resample Image, then change the Document Size to match your paper. This is non-destructive, in that it only changes the printer settings, not the image itself.

If the print looks bad because it’s been blown up too much, there is little or nothing you can do about it. This is because your image file doesn’t contain enough information to produce a decent print. Once this information is lost, there is no way to get it back.

Zoom 100% means that one pixel of your monitor is showing one pixel of your image file. If this is unclear, open Photoshop Help, switch it to Index, and look up "Pixels, About". In the present case, it’s enough to say that zoom 100% has nothing to do with printing.

One more thing. Photoshop is very pro-oriented, and cannot be used successfully without a good background knowledge of how image files represent visual information (including color). Photoshop Help explains this well.

There is a product out there called Genuine Fractals 4.1 that claims it can increase the size of small files "up to 800% without degradation." I have used the older version that requires you to save in a special .stn format and then reopen. Though the new one works directly from CS. It does seem to work a lot better that standard Photoshop methods, even repeated 10% resizes.

Read about it at

But at $160 you would want to try the 30 day trial version first and really need it.

Yep. And I got an email in my mailbox this morning that claims a pill can make my penis grow bigger. It’s a lie.

No program, algorithm, or technique is capable of doing what GF’s hysterical, over-the-top marketing claims. In my experience–and I have worked with Genuine Fractals–it’s pure snake oil, a program unethically advertised with claims it and no program can ever live up to.

Genuine Fractals sometimes produces results that are slightly better than Photoshop’s interpolation for some images–emphasis on "sometimes," "slightly," and "some images." For other images, Photoshop’s interpolation is better.

However, no algorithm and no technique can increase the pixel resolution of an image and create detail that does not exist in the original, ever. It is not even theoretically possible.

people should stop trying to "steal" images off the internet buy photos from a reliable stock agency and they will send you decent size files

If your client gives you tiny graphics or photos compressed for the web you cannot make them bigger or better.
