What would be the easiest way to resize a 200dpi image to a 300dpi image without losing a lot of quality?

(It's Monday and my brain's not working) Razz

Genuine Fractals. But its a commercial plugin...
Or use Bicubic smoother in photoshop and hope for the best.

Pakimo beat me to it. Yes, Genuine Fractals! They have a 30 day free trial.

Apparently Corel BlowUP is also very good. I've got a ProPhotog dude out in Ottawa that uses it all the time and he loves it.

This was kinda covered HERE:

Could also try printing the original to PDF at 600DPI and then importing the PDF to Photoshop? Never tried it so I don't know how good that would work out. Confused

(sorry...power has been out for 3 hours!)

There's a book publisher that wants the graphic at 300...I did it at 200 Embarassed Oops.

Thanks for the input.

DP - it is really about WHAT SIZE at 300 dpi being the issue.

Eg: If you did your image at 5" x 7" at 200 dpi, and the book dude only needs a 3"x4" final image, you can probably just change the dpi setting (turn OFF re-sampling) and you'll be good to go. You may even need to crop down a bit at that point.

If you DID produce the image at the right PHYSICAL size at 200 dpi, then you are hooped. Sad

And hooped would be a graphic design term I am not very familiar with...please elaborate.

I'm waiting on an email back...but I think they'll need a smaller size...so I may be saved!

(Note to self...from now on...do ALL chops 11x14 at 600dpi.)
