How do you change the size of a photo

[Qbolby]

when i print a photo on photo paper, the picture comes out good but to small. they are pictures from google. when i make them bigger they come out blurry. how do i make them not blurry when i make them bigger.(i print on 8 1/2in by 11 in paper)

You'll have to get bigger pictures. Google images and change the size to extra large.

Increasing an images size will always ruin the quality.

Like Nick said, I don't really think there's a way to "stretch" a photo without distorting it. Try looking for bigger photos. What I also do, since some photos aren't the size I want, I paste them to a word document and center them. That way they look like they're matted.

Hope that helps

If you have Photoshop, there's a plugin called Genuine Fractals you could try:

Or try Google. It might take a bit of searching to find photos you like, plus they'll have to be quite large, since you're using big bits of paper to print.

You could also try www.allmoviephoto.com for larger movie pics and stills.

Good luck

Getting a bigger picture is always the best idea.. even the best graphic editing programs and plugins can only do so much.

Try checking to see if the celebrity has any fansites - those sites often collect high-resolution pictures.

I like to do what Annie does- that way it looks a lot better!

Google "extra large" photo's. It's under the filters at the top under search. Google is where I get my photo's. I crop them on the Walgreens website. I even add border's around the edges sometimes. Very simple to do. {thumb2}
