Title: Enlage an image - please refresh my memory
Post by: ChasP505 on December 03, 2010, 10:24:36 PM
Will someone please refresh my memory on how to resize/enlarge an image file with Qimage and save it under a new file name.  I typically work from 16bit TIFs in Adobe RGB color space.  Say I had a file in the native pixel resolution of my 12 mp Canon 450D (4272 x 2848) and I want to push it to a very large size without using Photoshop or an app like Genuine Fractals.

I thought I had successfully used Qimage to do this once, but have forgotten how.  Thanks in advance.

I figured it out...  Very easy to do, good results.

Chas-

Actually, unless you are sending the file to someone else to print, you don't need to change the size in Qimage and create another file. Just set it to print at the highest resolution your printer takes as input (720 for my Epson), and Qimage will automatically interpolate it up to that many pixels per inch for whatever size you print (with the best interpolation routines on the market). And your original file is not changed. That's the beauty of Qimage. It does all the pixel stuff for you.
