Question
Hi Candice
I'm not sure if you are the right person to ask this. If not can you direct me?
I am trying to find a program that will correct the pixels of an image after you enlarge it. Like you see on TV when they zero in on a license plate and you can read it perfect.
All I have is Paint Shop Pro and I don't think it will do this. If it does, I can't figure it out.
Hope you can help.
Thank you

Answer
hey David,

ya...there's no way to fix it. Boy, I wish there was though.

when you enlarge an image, you lose information in the image - which is why you're never supposed to do that.

I'm not sure how to do this in paintshop, but I know you can. Play with the level and curves. (I think it's under image?) It's not going to solve the problems, but it will help a little.

good luck :)
