I forgot to mention that the program should be Mac-compatible.

Genuine Fractals is reputed to be able to do this, also some advanced
algorithms like Lanczos, and resampling as incorporated in Qimage, a
specialist printing program.
None of them increase detail, the manufactured pixels are derived from
existing pixels, but the way they are derived can influence the look of
the finished image to some extent. Best is to retake the image if possible.

I think it has to be a TV program called CSI. They can do real magic with
digital images.

Thanks.
I know that none of those programs increase detail. What I want is to
smooth jagged edges and avoid the halo effects of sharpening.
Anyone know how Genuine Fractals compares to Alien Skin's Blow-Up?

I don't have the original message and hope you won't mind me quoting
yours.
- The name of the program is called Photoshop either CS2, CS3, and I think
CS4 can do it too. You can find under Image Resize option but chose
Percentage and other option instead.
- It will help to improve a larger print but not making the blurry image
looks sharper which is part of Sharpen and similar. I don't do sharpen
besides messing to gain little experience to know much about it.
- And to deal with low-rez image you often need more than making it look
sharper (often make it looks worse), like you may want to edit in 16-bit
mode instead of 8-bit.
And I hope this won't be another suicide letter <bg>

It takes lot of time to create a DVD presentation, so I would suggest to
spend little $$$ on some good presentation/slideshow program like ProShow
Gold or similar.
Yes. there are tons of programs can do slideshow, but finding the one that
worth the time and energy then there are very few.
