Hi, is there a program that allows you to zoom into an image but still have its quality. That is the image isnt pixelated after zooimng so that one can read what is written on it.
Anybody?

There really isn't a way to zoom into a picture and preserve its quality. Anytime you scale a picture to make it bigger, the computer is going to have to assume things to resize it thus reducing the quality. The only way that you're going to be able to zoom into a picture and maintain quality is if your're looking at the original picture in an aspect ratio that is smaller than what is actually is. For example, if you have a picture that 1000x1000 pixels and you're initially viewing it at 100x100, if you zoom into it at 500x500, since the actual picture is bigger it should preserve the quality.

To zoom in and retain quality, you need a high res picture to start with; Any picture will pixelate if you go in close enough. However, you can usually patch up some images with a filter pass that "smooths" out a Zoomed in Image. Its not a great fix, but it does work... it is a pass that is usually in PhotoShop or Quark. The basic thing that will fix an image is a good image with Ultra high res if you need to go in too close.
A good example of how many images are used to get good images is in the Google World, where when you get to a certain point it says that no more images are available.

No... Quality can not come out of no where.
However, there are different resizing algorithms that are more effective at adding pixels than simply zooming in. For example, I've often used the bicubic algorithm along with some smart blur and sharpening filters to increase the resolution of a picture. Photoshop has a few algorithms under Edit > Resize...

Only if you have a high quality image to begin with. Even them you will still lose quality when zooming in.

not for a bitmapped image (i.e. digital camera, scanner, of the web etc) it / they have finite resolution
for a vector image however (flash, autocad, coreldraw) this is not true you can zoom in as much as you like with no loss of resolution
