How Do I Make a Picture to a 1600/1200

First of all I love this site due to the fact of awsome pictures and how they actaully look good on my iMac G5. I was just wondering how you managed to make them 1600/1200 and do not make them blurry. If anyone could do the picture in the link below it would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance guys.

That image is too small, it'll get distorted and pixelated if you resize it.

You can use photoshop, paint shop pro, those types of programs if you have or you can download Gimp or IrfanView, both of those are free and let you resize.

You can sharpen it a bit but I don't think it'll work since you resized such a small photo.

The images you see are 1600x1200 because they either started at that size or were even bigger and were downsized. Scaling upwards is not advisable.

you could always try a dedicated enlargement software solution like:

USC? Noooo... certainly you must mean UCLA! Anyway, in your imaging program you might be able to bring it up to the bare minimum for caedes of 800X600, but even then it would still be at a very unsatisfactory resolution for most screens. You really need to go with 1280X1024 or 1600X1200 (either @ around 600k) for the crispness you're referring to.

I couldn't get in to your site to see what you have, but as suggested even the least expensive of the new cameras create images larger than 1600x1200 and you reduce them. If you are rendering in an application like terragen, you have to set the parameters properly to get the size you want. You NEVER want to upsize. even with the very best interpolation your image will degrade badly. It's the same as using the truly bone head invention...digital zoom on your camera....NEVER do that either. Use optical zoom only. If you need more zoom, do it in Photoshop. Good luck with this. I look forward to seeing your stuff.

Hi all, Kind of related to this...
I'm trying to make a portrait photo into a wallpaper. The photo is currently at 1360x2048.
Can anyone give me some tips to get it to the right resolution without losing too much of the picture ?
Thanks

It really depends on what kind of software you have. You should downsize it to 1280 x 1024 and either crop off the extra bits, or if you really don't want to lose any of the image just add a border at either the sides or top and bottom (I'm too tired to figure out any aspect ratios right now...) If you have Photoshop just open your original image and then open a new image sized at 1280 x 1024, then drag the original image into it. You can then easily scale the image down (using "Edit -> Transform -> Scale) until you are happy with the way it fits into the 1280 x 1024 frame. If you don't have photoshop there should be a similar way to do it using some of the freeware apps mentioned above (like gimp) but I can't help you there because I don't use them.

If you use Photoshop to resize an image, be sure to try out the bicubic smoother for enlargements and bicubic sharper for reductions (it's in the resample image drop-down box on the resize pop-up). Sometimes, these options can make a tremendous difference in the detail of the final image.
