Try a good pro outfit like Colab or Peak Imaging.

Or, you could use TotalPoster who will scan an original and do huge sized posters.

HTH,

Chris.

A mate who is keen on digital photography was explaining to me the other day about software that will scan your image and interpolate between pixels to improve the quality of an enlarged image. He has all the kit, printer etc and has a website for wildlife photography, which he sells prints from.

He may do the job for you, if you are interested I will give him a bell.

Cheers

I've just scanned a 6x4 photo at 300DPI and printed onto A4 and the quality is excellent.

The printer is a Canon i965, I'd recommend one to anyone, the output is incredibly good.

OK - I have phoned him - He is more than happy for you to email him with the details and you can work something out between you.

Hope you get sorted.

Please reply to this & then I will delete his address...

Aha - just found Phils webpage he doesn't seem worried about having his email addy on the web so should be OK.

Tiggs,

I'm from Watlington - my mum still lives there - and I can do the same thing for you. The software is called Genuine Fractals and it will enlarge pretty well as big as you like.

Drop me a line as per the profile if you want.

Cheers,

S(imon)B
