Print/Scan/Upsample Question! - 12-15-2010, 03:44 PM


Is it possible to scan a 5x7 print with enough resolution (I have a canon flatbed 4400 scanner) to blow it up to 11x14? HELP!

Yes, but it will look like a 5x7 upsampled. With a lot of manual work you might get a descent 11x14 out of it but there is a lot of data missing. You could also try genuine fractals and see if that did a better job.

Allan,
I'm not disagreeing with you, but how come I can scan a 4x5 negative and fill a 13x19 sheet of paper and the resulting photograph looks fine? Does the negative contain more information than a 5x7 print?
