I took my son for his 16th birthday to see a live one man show. We were able after the show to get a picture with him!!
BUT only on a cell phone.
now when I try to blow up the photo of course it goes blurry. Ds would like a copy of the photo printed but really its not worth it.

any way to fix it can sharpen it up? I can email it to someone to fix for me if they are willing. I tried using Picaso on it but can't sharpen it up.
 
Melissa, if the picture was taken with a shaky hand, there isn't squat you can do to fix it. If it's not blurry in it's current state on the cell phone, it MAY be possible to resize depending on how many pixels the phone picture is.

I don't have a photo studio on this computer so I can't look at it, sorry.
 
Melissa, I don't use picasso so I can't walk you through it. There SHOULD be a tool somewhere to resize. Just choose the pixel count you want, the higher the pixels, the higher the resolution. For a 4x6 it should probably be somewhere in the range of 2000x2500 pxls. After you resize, then choose your print size.
 
Melissa, i have friend who can do miracles with a photo, email to me at [email protected] adn I will pass it to her to see if she can do anything with it.

that would be great! My son was thrilled to get his picture taken with him and dang it cell phones just don't take a good print quality picture.

check your email shortly!
THANKS SO MUCH!
 
I just learned this in class. If you are using windows 7 - right click the pic. choose "open with" paint. Then in paint under the home tab you can pick "resize" if you go with pixels - 100 pixels = about an inch. so pick 600 or 400 pixels.

Thanks for the links Mikey, got them safely in my favorites!
I'm always editing a pic of something as David likes to take pics of everything we do with his phone.
