    Default Image enlarging

    I've often thought about finding some software that will handle image enlargment - so that I can take a standard size photo and blow it up to a file big enough to print out an A2 or A1 size poster.
    I remember reading that it's done with "RIP" software - raster image processing.

    Has anyone got any recommended programs for PC that give good results?

    I been trying to find the program I had to do big pic that go on the wall.
    You give it a photo/pic you wont to use and it breaks it up in to A4 size printouts that when you hang them up it makes the whole photo

    You just put in how many A4 sheets to wont to use. When it prints it dos the whole photo with dots

    here is a link to a tuturial for photoshop. It may help out, but you will get a loss in quality the bigger you go.

    There's a plugin for photoshop called Genuine Fractals 5 that enlarges by intuitively adding pixels so it looks pretty good when enlarged
