Make an image bigger

[Johan Li (CAS)]

I saved an image that I will later add to my webpage. However, the
image is really really small.

Is there any way that I can make the image bigger, or is there any
way to manipulate the image? The bad thing about resizing it in
Microsoft Paint, is that the image comes across as really ugly and
distorted.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

You can specify a HEIGHT or a WIDTH option on the IMG tag to indicate how
high or wide you want the image. (You'll see examples of that if you look
at the SLIS home page, at http://www.cas.usf.edu/lis)

What file format is the image in? Is there any opportunity for
re-scanning the image at higher resolution? Barring that, resampling
the image using Photoshop ($$$$ to buy) or Paint Shop Pro (shareware,
and my personal favorite for minor image manipulation - try
www.shareware.com - the latest version's usually on their front page as
a "favorite") is a better option than resizing (which just expands
addressed points in what I am assuming is a bitmap image).

If you have any other questions, email me - although I'm certain
there're more experienced folks reading this group, I do a fair amount
of image analysis/manipulation in my work.

This only works I believe for making an image smaller... for resizing, go with
an image editor (Photoshop, Photo Paint, Paint Shop Pro, etc. etc. etc.)...
Depending on HOW much you want to resize will determine the result quality.

As a unix user, I recommend pnmscale :-)

pnmscale pnmscale (1) - scale a portable anymap

For example, to make abc.jpg twice bigger

% djpeg -pnm abc.jpg | pnmscale 2 |cjpeg > 2abc.jpg
