When you enlarge a picture it enlarges the pixels of the picture not the actual picture. It would be almost impossible to code a program that would enlarge the actual picture.

Put another way, you are causing less data to fill more space. This phenomenon is true even in printing. Take a nice, colorful box a product comes in and use a small microscope, such as the portable Micronta microscopes that Radio Shack used to sell, to examine it. You will discover that it looks nothing like the image and find even colors you don't see when viewing the whole image.

The more data you pack into a space, the more detail it has, so when you make it larger, you are decreasing the density of the pixels and reducing quality.

Describe the process of enlarging a picture?

Enlarging a picture involves increasing its dimensions by scaling up its resolution. This can be done using image editing software like Photoshop, where you input the new dimensions and let the software algorithm interpolate additional pixels to maintain image quality. However, it's important to note that enlarging a picture too much can lead to loss of quality and pixelation.

How large can a 2.37MB JPEG file be enlarged?

There is no upper limit when enlarging an image. The limiting factor is the quality loss. When enlarging you will always loose quality. Note: the filesize for a JPEG does not tell much about it since JPEG uses a lossy compression algorithm - i.e. the resulting file size is depending a lot on the original image and the compression level.

What appears after your computer is idle for a specified period of time?

Usually the 'screen-saver'. If a TV or computer screen is left on with the same image, it can 'burn' the image onto the screen - creating 'ghosting'. A screen-saver allows your computer to stay on - while protecting the screen's pixels.


Largest print size with a 6 megapixel camera?

For a high quality print (300 ppi) you should be able to print 8x10 without enlarging and about 9x12 with enlarging (using an image editor to increase the pixel size about 10% to 20%). For a low quality print you can double those sizes (150 ppi).
