How to make a picture bigger without it getting blury?

Question

Does anyone know of a photo editing software that will resize pictures without making them blurry. I have a picture with the dimensions of 360 × 270 and I want to make it 3648 × 2736. But anything I use makes it blurry. I have Adobe Photoshop 2003 or something for windows but im not sure how to use it. Is their anything for Mac? or both mac and windows?

Your problem is that the dimensions you gave represent a small pixel image.  And there is no software that can replace that many pixels to make it look good when blowing it up larger.  

If that is the size it is when it came out of your camera, then you must have it on a small resolution, and you need to set it higher.  Like even my sony, which is a 5 megapixel camera, the dimensions are like 1200 x 1675 when the photo is taken. So, I take it into photoshop, do my editing, and crop it down to an appropriate size for the internet ( 72 dpi ) or for printing ( 300 dpi ).  

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

you can not make it bigger.  you need a higher megapixel camera.  

the blurriness is called pixelation.  a pixel can only be expanded so much until it becomes blurry.  Think of it this way.  each pixel represents a color dot.  when you get a group together you have a picture.  if you expand the picture too big the dots get bigger and then you get blurriness.

Answer 5

You cannot increase picture size from 360x270 without a damage done. It's just too small to be manipulated. You could try to add some pixels to it, when you open it in PS, right click, and then image size, and increase dpi resolution, but I seriously doubt it will do any good. (I am photographer, so take my word for it, 360x270...it's pretty much unusable for anything, if you wanted to print it or something.)

If you want a quality picture, you need a camera that can support at least 300dpi, having at least 3mp.  

Answer 6

It is going to be blurry because the fine detail just isn't there in the small picture. You are trying to turn each pixel into 100 pixels. There is some commercial software (Genuine Fractals, for one) that will try to fill in the missing details, but it's still very limited in how much detail it can reconstruct.
