I guess I just underestimate photoshop's ability to create pixels out of nothing. I'm always so wary of increasing size and resolution beyond the original's when it doesn't look half-bad. Thanks again man!
Lol!
No special trick.
I just pasted the images on a new canvas, but set the canvas at 150 dpi (maybe this is what makes them look good)
Then using the V tool, enlarged the pics by hand, and then sharpened just once.
Enlarging pics is tricky cos it get pixelated, the "trick" i often do is change the dpi to bigger resolution, but reduce the size. So, when you enlarge again by hand, it has enough "new" pixels to avoid blurrying
(hope something makes sense lol)
Thanks for getting back to me so quick. I actually know my photoshop quite well. It's just that your results looked good enough that I wondered if you had done something special, some trick I didn't know about. Gracias de todas maneras!
Ok, let me think a simple, clear way to explain..:
-You can go (top of the screen) to Image then look for Image size. That's the easyw ay.
-Go to File and look for New, to make a new "canvas". Ther you can paste the images you save. There, change the tool to Move Tool (V), and press shift and click/drag to give the image the size you want by hand. Kinda tricky, but not difficult.
-Go to Filter (duh!) and you'll see a crapload of them. Look around for Sharpen, but don't overuse it or you'll ruin the pic.
-Remember you can always press ctrl+Z to go a step bacwards if you make a mistake!
