I take lots of photographs and often pick the better ones to scan (from a 4x6), scale and print in 8x10. I think I figures out the proper resolutions to use for scanning (1/3 of the print resolution). I am confused about the best way to upscale a photo in Photoshop. There are two paths that I've seen:
1. Use the Image/Image size dialogue box. I set the horizontal size to 8" and the vertical size jumps to 12", so I know I'll need to crop 2". I use the bicubic re-sample option and go for it. Once the picture is scaled, I figer out the best 2 " to crop and then priont an 8x10 . This works pretty well.
2. There is a sub-menu under the help menu called resize image. It takes your through a resizing wizard of sorts which asks questions which make little sense to me. It seems this is the way Photoshop recommends to do this, but I can't make sense of the directions.
Any recommendations on what works best?
