Hi,

I need quick help, like within the half hour please~ A newspaper wants to print an article about my site, very excited and they need a picture, so I have a picture, but they need it enlarged, and I don't know how to enlarge it.

I am on a Mac, is there anyway I can send it to someone and they can help me please?

Thank you

Amy

Well, if they need it enlarged it is probably better to not do that in a digital way. What kind of picture?

Then it's pretty much a no go. It will be too grainy and pixelated if you resize it. What's the picture source? Screen shot or scanned picture?

Oh, it;'s just a picture from our wedding. I have mac resizer and I don't know how to use it properly.

I'm stuck...

Still, a JPG (or any other image) will get really pixelated when resized enough to work for printing.

Can you scan the picture?

Hi, thanks so much. You know, I sent them what I had. I managed to increase the size a little bit with the Macresizer and if it isn't good enough for them, well, they should have given me more time, than just 1/2 an hour.

So, they can just print the article.

Thank you so very much for your fast reply!
