How do I edit jpegs to take out the "dots"?

Question

I am importing a jpeg and it is very small. When I enlarge it (so it fits nicely in a powerpont), the picture gets really fuzzy and "dotty".
What / How do I fix this ???

Answer 1

You can use Corel Photo Paint "Remove Moire", or "Remove Noise" filters.

You can also use Adobe Photoshop "Despeckle", "Dust and Scratches", "Median", or "Blur" filters, especially the "Smart Blur".

But anyway, a bitmap file (that's what it called) cannot be enlarged without getting fuzzy. That's why it is better to use large image and scale it down, not small image and scale it up.

Answer 2

It`s a lost cause,seriously, you need a larger file.If your just useing the file to view on your pc,then a 72dpi is ok but to print 300dpi and up is what you will need.Your foto is fuzzy and dotty cause most likely it was saved on very low quality jpeg.(If you have any Adobe photo shop software you can adjust the quality of your jpeg before it`s save.)

Answer 3

This is very hard to do if the pic is really small to start with. BAsically, because it is so small, the data or information just isnt there to start with so when you enlarge the pic, the detail is lost. You really cant do much with it except to try and find a larger version of the same pic.

Answer 4

First of all,get a hight quality photo editor.Try Picasa by Google(its free to try).If you enlarge photos,the resolution gets compromised;and the dots appear.If you use Picasa,it will compesate for the changes in size and enahnce the resolution accordingly.

Answer 5

Unfortunately, due to the data "loss" from the picture when it was shrunk, there is no way the quality remains when the .jpg is enlarged again. Some programs can save .jpg's as "lossless" to prevent this, and that is a good idea.

Other file types are inherently lossless such as .gif and .bmp.

u can use adobe photoshop
