If its 640x480, 800x600 pixels or so, it should be able to be enlarged and printed although they'll be a bit on the fuzzy side. You really need an image of 1280x960 or so to get a decently sharp normal photo-sized print.	Catweazle (2535)
307085	2004-12-24 05:16:00	Is it possible to enlarge and print a photo from the body of an e-mail? Jack Step one is to right click and select ¨save as¨ dump it on your desktop or something, and then open the image, and ask what ever program opens it to print. You may have the option to print more directly depending on what sort of software/operating system you use. As for enlarging.. Yes you can BUT unless you need to resize it to fit a specific gap, its probably better to leave it alone, as any enlargement will be payed for with a loss of quality. Do you have Photoshop or the GIMP? Both are great programs that resize images in their sleep, but there is no escaping the stated loss of quality. :D	personthingy (1670)
307086	2004-12-24 10:07:00	If you are wanting to print. Hopefully they were impolite and dumped a huge email to you. Because you need it. :) When you open in Photoshop or any similar software. You may need to change the resolution to a larger one. The email would probably be 72dpi JPG attachment (well unless they were really mean and gave you a TIF or a RAW file). Generally try to use 240dpi if you can and see how the file size in physical dimensions change. Tick off interpolation off so it can tell you how big can you print optically without digital enhancement. Depending on how they took the photo and how sharp it is, you could print it up to 2x abouts of the original size. At the end you should play around with curves, levels, unsharp mask (if you have photoshop). Printing from the email. I don't know. I use MS Outlook so all my JPGs comes in a icon on the bottom that needs to be double clicked to open. Not sure if it would print auto. Outlook Express or webmail may thou but they prob lack the function to enlarge. You can try it out...	Nomad (952)
307087	2004-12-24 10:10:00	If you are wanting to enlarge it cos the file is too small. In photoshop turn on resample, the default methodology is fine, I thnk its bicubic? Then change the physcial dimensions while holding a particular resolution.	Nomad (952)
307088	2004-12-24 10:59:00	this depends on your print driver software and how big you whant the image save to desktop open in a graphic program maybe even Internet explorer, then goto file... print, check the options (normally can be altered by clicking on properties button) within the print driver it may have fit to page and other such options	beama (111)
307089	2004-12-24 18:09:00	Actually the main problem is only half the photo prints. When I try to copy and paste the left half is OK but the right is missing. I want the whole group but I only get half. It's in OE 6. Jack	JJJJJ (528)

I want the whole group but I only get half. It's in OE 6. Jack Me thinks you have a truly unique problem. What happens if you save the image/attachment to your desktop, and then try to open or print it from there? Can you veiw the whole image/attachment on your monitor, or is it just when you print? Do you get this problem with other images you attempt to print? If so, the problem may have something to do with (lack of) printer memory. :badpc: And some final questions, What operating system are you using? What email client? What if any graphic manipulation programs? What printer? :D	personthingy (1670)
