Hello,
Has anyone had any luck with enlarging resolutions sizes or have any good recommendations?
I want to print out a bunch of renders for next week and there at 800*600, I would like to get them at least to 1650*1275 (preferably 3300*2250) for printing them out. I really don’t have time to re-render everything

.. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

Alien skin BlowUp plugin for PhotoShop.
If your image conlains very little noise and mot very detailed textures - it can scale the image 2-3 times quite well.
It is best with clean evenly lighted untextured models.

Genuine Fractals was also pretty good a few years back. I have not tried it in a while.

Hello Mark,
browsing some pages i found this :
http://www.americaswonderlands.com/digi ... (Standard)
and also this:
http://hannemyr.com/photo/interpolation.html
and this:
http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~gisle/blog/index.php?p=15
So it seem no software can do miracles (nothing like in movies

)
Anyway richardson-lucy algorithm can do very good job. It is included in ImagesPlus 2.8 image restoration software for astrophotography. But lanczos algorythm is also good and is free in irfanview.
