How can I take a small image in Photoshop and enlarge them without changing the quality. When I resize or enlarge images they get really blurry. How can I resize or enlarge a small image in Photoshop without changing the quality? Please help me! Thanks. Big Grin

You can't do it in Photoshop.

Photoshop uses bitmap images, meaning that the images you create are built from coloured pixels. If you have a small thumbnail size image that is 50 x 50, and you enlarge the image to a 200 x 200 pixel image, then you've basically increased the pixek count 16 times. Instead of the a blue being 1 pixel, it's now a large square that is 4 pixels wide and 4 pixels tall.

The image, regardless of how large you increase the size, will always retain the original 50x50 ratio.
