Hi

I purchased a used game at blockbuster and it came without artwork so
i went online, found the art and attempted to print it on my canon
S630 but the version i print comes out too small. What do i need to do
to get it as it appears on my screen which is regular game size?
This is what i want to print as is:

Thanks a lot

First of all it is only 385 X 275 pixels. Not large enough to do much
with. What size, in inches, is it suppose to be? What kind of printer
are you printing it on?

Sorry I see that you already said what printer. If you tell me the size
I might be able to resample it in Photo shop and it might be OK. Again,
there is not much to work with. You really need a good scan of it to do
it right though.

One way is to change the DPI. Use Irfanview (or similar free program) and
change the dpi as follows...

The image is 385 x 275 so lets say you need it 4" tall....

Change the DPI to 385/4 = 96 (approx).

Then using Irfanview...

File -> Print
Print button
Select "Original size (from image DPI)"

....or you could just use the scaling option that Irfanview provides when you
print an image.

....or you could resample the image to improve quality first, then do one of
the above.
