I've got Elements 5, Photoshop 2, and LR  2.

My church is doing a web site and some of the photos they are using are simply too small. I volunteered to upscale them (trouble is, the example I showed, I didn't play with the sharpness enough before showing and they are somewhat dubious.)

Basically they seem to be about 200-230 pixels and just upping them to 300 pixels makes them much more viewable.

About 10 of them.

Now, is there some editing software or plug-in that will resize better than the above do by default? (One with a demo maybe, I really don't want to buy anything just for this one thing.)

I figured on just resizing in Elements and then using UnSharpen  Mask.

Any input for settings for unsharpen mask, or what you would do instead, software, or whatever, is appreciated.

I figure, regardless of what I do, some sharpness will be lost. On the other hand, some of the pictures aren't all that sharp to begin with.

Thanks, Marnie aka Doe

The books I've read on up sampling suggest doing it in stages. They recommend going up by 10% increments (so if you have an image that is 200pixels wide, up it to 220) until you get the size you want. also make sure elements or PS is set to use bicubic smoother for the resizing.

I've been successful in up sampling 6mp images and printing them at 20inx30in.
