If I have a small jpeg and want to enlarge it, what’s the best technique or plugin to use whilst reducing distortion and artefacts etc.
In article ,True, many years ago at the beginning of graphics manipulation … Welcome to Century 21.

Unfortunately, nothing can enlarge a pixel-based image without degrading quality. No program, no technique, nothing; it is not even theoretically possible.

OP, try Genuine Fractal’s free trial.

Heres what Genuine Fractals software does:
After you have optimized your image file in Photoshop, establishing how the final image will appear, you save the image using the preferred Genuine Fractals file extension (FIF or STN). GF transforms the image into "resolution independent-assets" eliminating the relationship between pixels and resolution. The image becomes mathematically encoded as an algorithm and the pixels of the original raster image are replaced with a new file structure that stores the entire image and none of the pixels. When you open the image again, you can re-scale it to the desired size and the algorithm will generate new pixels while maintaining sharpness regardless of image size.

In article ,The OP asked what the best way to enlarge a small jpg would be. The replies have swung to the patently obvious that detail cannot be created. That, to me, seems to be completely ignoring the question and to be chasing a false hare.

Hogwash. That’s what Genuine Fractal’s hysterical marketing hype *claims* to do.
In reality, it sometimes gives results moderately better than bicubic interpolation for some images–emphasis on "sometimes," "moderately," and "some images." But nothing, and I mean nothing–not Genuine Fractals, nothing–can create detail that does not exist in the original image to begin with.
In article ,‘ whilst reducing distortion and artefacts etc…. was his question and he get answered that nothing can do it *without* degrading it

JPEG images are especially bad, because enlarging a JPEG exaggerates the JPEG quality degradation.
Sorry…

while this is true, the OP asked "what is the BEST technique"
I would suggest (after loading the image in photoshop or photoshop elements),
the following:
Image … Resize … Image size …
and a screen will come up asking you about pixel dimensions, document size, etc.
1 – Make sure the three boxes called scale styles, constrain proportions, and
resample image all have a check mark in them.
2 – For the "resample image", click the dropdown amd select "bicubic smother"
3 – In the "pixel dimensions" portion of the screen, replace the number that is
there (for example 640) with twice that number (in this example, 1280). Twice is
about as much as you can enlarge before things really get looking terrible (but
your mileage may vary). NOTE: All the dimension related boxes will automagically
adjust to their corresponding new values (that is the purpose of step 1 above).
4 – Click the "OK" button.
5 – Save the modified picture under a different name. Print it out and see if it
looks acceptable.
Oops – I just noticed you are using a Mac – probably a slightly different sequence of commands and clicks to get you there, but this should give you the
general idea.

Back to the OP’s question…is there a way that the image can be enlarged, or a change in what is listed above, that would provide a better result? Not a result with no loss of detail, but a better result than obtained using the quick-and-dirty way?

Some people learn by reading the experiences of others, many (most) who’ve said Genuine Fractals is 99.9% hype and a waste of money. You on the other hand quote from their site as if it were some type of factual Bible. Guess who I’m going to believe.

I never took a test drive in a Yugo yet I’m fairly sure they were the pieces of shit people said they were. I’ve read the reviews and decided GF wasn’t worth wasting the time on. It’s hype, lies, smoke and mirrors, you seem to be the only one here who’s ever fallen for it. Other than quoting sales scripture have YOU ever tried it? Can you post any verifiable proof it can do anything near the claims it makes or are you just a shill for the company?
