Tom Thumb: Increasing Resolution

The author of this tutorial is Gordon Sisson.

In his example, Gordon Sisson has demonstrated one more aspect of the usage of AKVIS Magnifier AI - namely the ability not only to change the image's dimensions but also to improve on its quality. In author's words he frequently needs to increase the resolution of graphics dragged off the internet or clip art collection. These graphics are 72 dpi which is not acceptable for printing, so resolution should be increased to 300 dpi.

Gordon Sisson decided to magnify a photo of a little boy. As everyone knows, growing a child is a very involved process. Let alone the boy is really small - the original image is just of 2.38 inches high! The author claims, however: this task can be done in just a couple of minutes.

Here is the Magic of AKVIS Magnifier AI:

• Step 1. Start AKVIS Magnifier AI and open the .tif image (drag it into the program's window).

• Step 2. Increase the Resolution to 300 dpi. This reduces the size to 0.57 inches high.
  
  Resolution change from 72 to 300 dpi

  In the New Size panel specify the final size you want (as percent of the reduced size of the original graphic — in this example 750%).

  
  New Size
• Step 3. Choose an enlargement algorithm A/B. We used A. Standard.

  Click on the button to process the image with the adjusted settings. The image height is now 4.28 inches - the boy has become two times taller and the image resolution experienced a four-fold increase.

  Save the final image – now it can be printed.

  This method produces a graphic of higher quality than the laborious procedure in some image editors.
