I've had a program/filter in the past that was Photoshop friendly that would upsize my images and still give me great detail and resolution.
I've forgotten the name.
But, I don't need that one... if you folks have a different suggestion for me.
I have a friend's 4 x 6 inch photograph. She wants to make a larger canvas out of it.
What do you recommend, please?

Are you saying you have a 4x6 print(?), or, if already digital, we need to know the dimensions in pixels to give a meaningful answer ...
And, what size canvas are you printing? |

Thanks, Gen.
I've scanned the physical print with the best scanner I have. It's now digitally 999 x 775 pixels.
She wants to go something like 10 x 12". |

Check with the place you're printing, but I think you can get away with a lot lower resolution on canvas.
If you still have Photoshop, the simplest path is to try upsampling using the Bicubic Smoother setting to 200% (should give you enough resolution to print at 150 ppi).
One of the new editing programs (Aurora?) for which I see a lot of ads has an new ai-driven upsampling feature which looked pretty good in the demo sample. If you're interested I can try and track it down (later today) ... |

Thanks again, Gen!
I'll try it and see. She's going to print it (different state). I'm going to send her the file.
I had something that was specifically an upsize tool... wish I could remember it. But, that was two computers ago. *sigh*

Unfortunately, this is the image (after I removed the telephone pole out of the top of her head).
Missed focus makes it even harder.
Any ideas?

Sean Bagshaw recently posted a YouTube episode comparing multiple ways of up-sizing images (here). Gigapixel AI was his favorite, but it takes a long time per image unless you have a moderately high end video card and recent powerful CPU. It does perform a bit of sharpening, and my experience with it is that the artificial intelligence aspect seems to help (although producing artifacts in some images). A recent 25% off sale may still be active (check website of Topaz Labs, which sells it). Maybe try the Photoshop method Sean reviewed before deciding to spend money. |

Sent you a PM with results of doing some work on the version you posted.

Might have been Genuine Fractals? That's one reason I keep old computers/software around ... |

BoB! That's amazing! You're such a sweetheart to use your time on my image!
Thank you bunches! I'll look into the cost...
Gen, Yes!! That was it! Genuine Fractals. I wonder if I still have a CD somewhere... |

I think what is left of Genuine Fractals is now part off ON-1. |
