Evening all.

As the title suggests I am after some advice, I have been sent an old small picture of my entire family together, it is the only picture of us all together, can anybody recommend any programs that can enlarge small low resolution pictures without making them blurry and blocky, I know it's a lot to ask but any advice would be brilliant.

I think sadly this is an impossibility. You can only work with what the original can provide.

However this might be a useful read? http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/enlarge-lower-resolution-photos-while-keeping-quality-intact/

Just do what they do in the movies, mindlessly hit the keyboard and shout "ENHANCE!"?

If you scan it at the highest resolution you can that'll give you something to at least experiment with. It'll really depend on the size of the grains in the original picture.

If you can get the original negative you might be able to enlarge that more than a scanned picture.

But in general you can't do much.

You mean that doesn't work?! :(

Scanning it will reduce the quality unless you have a professional scanner.

Then if it an old photo it will more than likely deteriorated from age.

If it is a small photo as well detail would have been lost, which will show up more when you enlarge it.

You won't get much out of it.

If you post the photo I don't mind having ago with it in pshop.

First of all scan at the highest res your scanner will handle. You can then if you have something like photoshop interpolate the image to make it bigger without losing too much quality.

Thanks for the replies, I know it was a big ask, after having a play with the image that was emailed to me I'm now thinking that one of my relatives has just taken a picture of the photograph not actually scanned it so I'm going to try and get hold of the photo and scan it myself then go from there
