Picture Enlargement

[BETO74 0]

Anyone knows how to enlarge a picture taking with a digital camera? or if you know the picture you're gonna take is gonna be enlarge what formatt do you use ?how many pics could you take using that formatt?

I have a Rebel ti but I can'y find 50 or less ASA to take pictures I would like to enlarge.

Any software that can change the resolution of a picture perhaps Photoshop?

When I say enlarge I mean poster size not too grainy.

I use Photoshop for all of my image adjusting needs. Be it "cleaning" up an image due to lighting, removing stuff like powerlines from the image, changing the size and quality of the image, etc.

There is a limit to how big you can get the pic and still retain quality, though.

The Photoshop Image Size dialog allows for most any resizing needs. I use Noise Ninja 2 to remove grain from both my digital camera (6MP SLR) and film grain/scanner noise (13MP film scanner). It does wonders for graininess with limited loss of sharpness. After batch processing with NN2 I use photoshop for cropping, USM, adjustments, etc.

In Scott Kelby's Photoshop Book for Digitial Photographers , he writes that if you use set image size to 110% repeatedly (using default bicubic), you can blow up the resolution without introducing too much distortion.

Probably best to do the grain removal first, if present.

And if you can do it, more than one shot can be combined to crank up true resolution.

One other note.

Qimage is software package for resizing to print that is well regarded, and may be useful for big blowups.

You'll want to start with a very good film scanner. Nikon makes some excellent ones, but I'm not very current on their product line.

After you have a very good film scan, you can upsize with PhotoShop, but if you want -really- large enlargements, you might want to check out Genuine Fractals.

BTW, the Canon D30, D60, 10D, 20D, ect. cameras print very well up to 20 x 30 even without software enhancements.
