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
Someone gave me an upscaling "Action" for Photoshop 7 that worked by
resizing +3% using bi-cubic sharper, then resizing another +3% using
bi-cubic smoother.
It began by prompting you to input a number for how many repetitions you
wanted it to do.
It would take about 7 repetitions to increase size to 150%, and 12
repetitions to double the size.
It seemed to give quite good results.
