Question: How to make a poster out of this!? (I need urgent help)!?
I have a a 400x300 (I also have an 800x600 version of it) pixels photo and I need to enlarge it to as big as 36x24 inches photo since I'm making it as a base to my poster!. How do I enlarge the photo without ruining the pixels!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Unfortunately, it's not possible!. In the design industry the most a designer would ever enlarge an image by is 10% - any more than that and it becomes very pixelated and unusable!. What you're talking about is blowing it up more than 3000%, and even the most powerful image-enlarging software couldn't do it!.

Your only solution is to find a high resolution original of the image!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

your best option would be to use enlarging software such as genuine fractals or alien skin blowup!. other wise you could print it out at it's current size and scan it in at a high enough resolution to get the photo to poster size!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You wont get a good quality poster out of an existing shot with those dimensions unless you still have the original Hi res file!.
You will find that it will be pixelated and quite simply c@@@!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
