Is there a way i can blow up a picture from a digital camera w/out distorting it?

Answer 1

Like a few other people mentioned, it depends on the resolution the photo was taken and when using Photoshop you can change the image size with porportions constrained...
also you can alter the ppi (pixels per inch)/ dpi (dots per inch) which refers to the density of the pixels (little squares the digital image is comprised of). Typically, 72 dpi is standard for images you are going to use on the web & 300 is the standard for printing (unless the printer can produce higher quality resolution).
Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

It depends on the mega pixels! more mega pixels = better resolution = ability to make picture larger. A film negative will give a good 11 x 14 and film would be equivalent to 17 + mega pixels. I have a film SLR and a digital SLR (6 mega pixels) and my film camera produes better quality enlargemets but that being said the digital have given good 8 x 10 enlargements.

Answer 3

with distorting I assume your problem is that you are changing the aspect ratio (height, width) unintentionally while enlarging it?
If it is a resolution problem (everything looks fuzzy and bady pixelated) there is no help.
If you have problems keeping the width:height relationship constant: Make sure that a tick box saying something like: keep aspect ration is selected when enlarging.
If you enlarge by dragging it larger, with a bunch of programs pressing the shift key while you do this will make it keep the aspect ratio. In other programs you have to drag it larger using the corner control point, not the side (or top/bottom) control points.

Most digital cameras nowadays give pretty good quality, some minor enlarging wouldn't really hurt it from a program like Photoshop, also you could always take it to a photo studio or a store that does photos and give them the disk and have them make a negative or just make a bigger printout, it really just depends on what it's for.

Answer 5

If you are using a program like photoshop, there are two things you need to know.

1. Go to Image/image size, and increase the size. Make sure that the constrain proportions button is checked.

2. But if you are blowing a low resolution picture up, it will get fuzzier, and pixels may start to show. On the image size screen, I recommend you select bicubic interpolation to offset this to some degree.

Answer 6

using minus button (-) and plus button(+) to blow up a picture from digital camera.

Answer 7

It depends on the resolution of the photo. The higher the resolution, the larger you can make it- There's really no way to get around that, as far as I know.

Answer 8

get a digital camera with a lot of pixals
I can have huge pictures with 7.2
3 and above is adequate if your looking for cheaper
