How to Enlarge a Low-Res Image for Print

May 20, 2014 in Before/After Images, Adobe Photoshop, Photography

Has there ever been a time when you had a low resolution image you want to print? Maybe a screenshot of something or an image where the quality just wasn't there? In this tutorial I'll show you one way you can modify an image and enlarge it to be printed as an 8x10. It only takes a few minutes and a couple of steps. One quick note, I did not create the original image used in this tutorial - I'm not sure who did, but I have seen the image used in various places on the web.

Video Summary

This particular image was at a resolution of 72 ppi and approximately 5.5" x 6.5". Our goal was to modify this image so it could be printed as an 8x10. When preparing images for print, it’s important to keep in mind that your file resolution should be a minimum of 240 ppi to get a high quality print. In this case I wanted to use 300 ppi.

Step 1

Open image. Unlock background layer by double clicking on the LOCK icon on the layer. Resize the image by going to Image >Image Size. Then change the resolution to 300. Click OK

Step 2

Change canvas size to 8x10 by going to Image > Canvas Size. Use 8 for the width and 10 for the height. Click OK.

Step 3

Using Free Transform (cmd + T), resize the image so it is as large as it can be without cutting off any of the edges. Notice we have a small area on the bottom and side that we will need to fill in.

Step 4

Extract the text. Select the Magic Wand tool. Change sample size to 3 by 3, and tolarance to 12. Select a black portion of the text. Right click and select ‘Similar’. If there are more pixels to be selected within the text, select Similar again. Right click in the selection and select Make Work Path. For the tolerance, use 2.0. The text and graphics will be extracted as a path and can be found in the Paths panel.

Step 5

Blur the background layer to remove pixilation. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Adjust the blur to your liking. I used a 4 pixel blur.

Step 6

Fill in the missing areas on the bottom and right hand side. Use the Marquee tool to select the blank areas. Be sure to overlap the surrounding pixels so Photoshop knows what to fill the area in with. After making the selection press Shift + Delete to bring up the Fill dialog box. Choose Content-Aware and click OK. Blend further if necessary.

Step 7

Add text back on top of image. Create a new blank layer labeled Text. Go into the Paths panel and highlight the work path that was created. Right click and select Fill Path. Use Black as the color for fill.

Step 8

Add stroke around text. First setup your brush settings – use a hard edge brush and a width of 8 pixels in this case. Right click on the text Path again and select Stroke. Use the Brush as the tool to stroke the path with.

Step 9

Increase Contrast. Create a new curves adjustment layer. Select preset called ‘Medium Contrast’.

Step 10

Combine all layers and Sharpen. Combine all layers using Shift + Option + CMD + E. To sharpen the image go to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen. Use an amount of 200 and leave the rest of the settings as they are. You’re Done!
