Sorry have to jump on that one, Rick.

No application can create extra pixels where only one existed. At best, they can interpolate what a pixel _might need to be_ by being very clever about the pixels surroundings and using sophisticated filters and techniques, but it is an educated guess at best. There is no such thing as "enlarging" in Photoshop or any other digital, pixel- based application.

Only on CSI can you zoom into a 1MB image taken from 100 miles away and read the fingerprint on an suspect's wineglass, I'm afraid. In the non-fiction world, a pixel is the atomic unit.

because, unlike the process of enlarging an image in, say, Photoshop, no extra pixels are created -- so the resolution change tends to be gruesome
