The need to enlarge photos several times without deterioration in quality is the gray everyday life of any advertising agency or printing company. Therefore, the methods have already been worked out, you just have to take advantage of their experience. The main thing to understand is that enlarging a photo is like stretching a fabric, and you cannot do without defects.
Instructions
Step 1
The photograph must be prepared for enlargement. Any subtle defects, highlights, noise or artifacts after resizing will be too noticeable. If you are already familiar with graphic editors and the amount of work to be done is small, then you can handle it manually. But you can also use the tools that 95% of professionals use. First of all, we are talking about a set of plug-ins for Photoshop (Photoshop) Topaz Photoshop Bundle 2010. This is a set of filters that prepare photos for large-format printing, doing everything for you. They use intelligent editing and easily cope with even difficult tasks: remove noise, artifacts, add sharpness and clarity. Even novice users will be able to use them.
Step 2
It is just as simple, with the help of the add-on to Photoshop, you can enlarge the image. The plugin is called PhotoZoom Pro. However, this is not quite a plug-in - it is a standalone program that can work without Photoshop installed. Most professional editors use it, and it is with its help (with good sources) that you can enlarge a photo to the size of a bigboard without a noticeable deterioration in quality.
However, PhotoZoom is not the only program designed for this, there are similar ones, for example ImageReady or other, even simpler editors.
Step 3
If you have no photoshop, no photo zoom, no desire to buy them, then use the ten percent method. This is a proven method of enlarging an image that works for all types of editors. The principle is simple: enlarge the image in small steps of 10% until you achieve the desired result. This is a longer journey, but the result justifies it.
