How to enlarge scanned photo.

how much quality do you want and if photo is small to start with and you are scanning it you will need 600 dpi or more where as a larger photo can use less 300 DPi as it is not being enlarged onto the screen / slide show
depends on what you intend storing the pictures on . BMP will take up a lot more memory than jpeg files. The dimension more refers to dots per square inch when scanning a photo .

Generally, when you scan a document, it is a photo of the item. You can use a photo editor to enlarge then save the enlargement, once done, file, send to, email recipient, this should attach the scan as an attachment

The bigger you are going to want to print the final picture the higher the resolution you will want. So set it on the highest resolution then you will be able to make the picture however big you want in your photo-editing software.

The best way is to use software like Corel PhotoPaint and RESAMPLE the pix to the sze you want. YOu typically will get better resolution.

You could also try selecting the "Fit To Page" setting of the printer window before you tell it to print.

Follow these tips to ensure your scanned photo turns out to be a stunning print.

Resolution:

• You'll want a higher dpi when scanning an image that you want to print.
  
  
• If you want to scan an image and reprint it at the same size, 300 dpi works best.
  
  

File format:

• TIFFs are ideal for printing enlargements, but a JPEG will suffice if you are printing a 4" x 6" photo.
  
  

Quick tip:
If you are printing a 4" x 6" image as a JPEG, but think that you may someday want to make a bigger print, archive a larger TIFF file of your photo. Unlike JPEGs, TIFFs can be edited and resaved without compromising the image quality.

I discovered that a small strand of hair had attached itself to the white underside of the platen cover near its bottom edge and this was apparently being treated by the scanner as part of the photo to be scanned. Once I removed the hair, scanned photo images are again correctly being optimised in the frame.

well..that means you wish to enlarge it , right? you'll need to use the scanner, save the image, then enlarge it with Photoshop or something along those lines..
