Enlarge image 800%

Hi!
I've got a hi-res tiff image (5031x3579 px) which I need to use as a background on a very large print (2500 mm x2500 mm, 300 dpi). I placed the original image in InDesign and had to enlarge it by approx 800% to fit the canvas. Effective dpi ended up at 35dpi. This, no suprise, looks **** when viewed at 50-100%, so I thought maybe it would be better to resize the image in photoshop before placing it in InDesign. Well, I did do that and ended up with an image with a huge filesize (2,5 Gb) before saving it as a tiff again. I noticed that many of the save as options didn't come up, only tiff, Large image format and native PS. I still dont know what the final file size will be... still waiting for it to finish processing.
The method I used for enlargement was: Image size -> resample - bicubic smoother (best for enlargement) - in three steps, 200% up - 200% up - 150% up.
What I'm asking for, is advice on how to deal with this problem the best way using photoshop CS6? I know I will loose quality, but want to minimize the appearant loss the best way.
Thanks
Rune

When you "viewed at 100%" and the "image looked ****" to you, was it just fuzzy or was it pixelated (visibly made up of colored squares)?
If the former (fuzzy) is what you saw, your only recourse to not have it "look ****" is to either start with a higher resolution image or to use a more sophisticated upsampling technique, such as provided by OnOne Software's Perfect Resize 7 or Alien Skin's Blow Up 3.
If it's pixelated by the resize option in InDesign, are you sure there are no options there that will do an interpolated (e.g., Bicubic) upsample instead of a pixelated (Nearest Neighbor) resize?
Did you TRY printing a small portion of the image (e.g., on your local inkjet) to see how the print would actually look?

Safari won't enlarge image

I can get Safari to enlarge font sizes but suddenly, today, it stopped enlarging images. I used to be able to hit Control+ and Safari would enlarge the image. Today, it stopped doing it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Greetings,
The keyboard command to enlarge is Command-+, not Control-+. If you're using the latter key combination, that would explain the problem. If you're using the former key combination and it doesn't work, what URL are you at when it does this? Did you try accessing the function from the View menu to see if that works?

HOW do I create a NICE enlarged image in a window EFFECT? CS5

Maybe a long unnecessary title but I'm not sure how to describe it, and I can't find an example at the moment.
Basically, I would like to create little image thumbnails which when clicked on bring up an enlarged version of the thumbnail. Basic I know, but rather than just having it load up in a pop-up window like you can do with behaviors in Dreamweaver, I would like the enlarged image to appear in a window which expands out from a small rectangle/square to a large rectangle/square (kind of like an animation) and THEN the image appears in this lovely display window.
How is that done?
Maybe I haven't explained this very well. In the meantime I will have a look and see if I can find an example to better explain what I mean.
Thank you.
Ian.

You're looking for a AJAX "Lightbox" style script. These are quite common these days, and started with the original Lightbox JS script. They've since evolved into related projects like Thickbox, FancyBox, Lightbox 2, etc.
Here's a round-up of the different available scripts (plenty more are out there if you Google "lightbox script"):
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/05/18/30-best-solutions-for-image-galleries-slideshow s-lightboxes/
The way these work are:
You place a script or two (sometimes your lightbox script and the jQuery JS package) in a folder on your server
You then link these scripts in the head of your document
You add your thumbnails to your page, and link them to the larger images
You then add some type of attribute to each thumbnail, such as a class like "lightbox".
When you click the thumbnail, instead of getting the larger image it triggers the lightbox script. Most all of the scripts have either instructions on setting them up, or a demo where you can view the source code. What I used to do is download the script, which almost always has a demo file in the download package, and open that up in Dreamwevaer to reverse engineer. It's not as complicated as it first looks.

How to View Album as Only THumbnails and Enlarged Image

I hope I can explain this right...
When I click an album on my page, it takes me to a page of smaller thumbnails of all of the images in that album and the thumbnails are scattered around the page. When I click on any of the images, it takes me to a page that shows a strip of square thumbs across the top of the page with one enlarged image beneath, with the option of clicking on any of the thumbs or starting a slideshow, etc. Is there a way you can be brought directly to this page from the main albums page and bypass the middle page of medium sized thumbs? That middle page seems unnecessary and I'd be psyched to learn how to skip it. Thanks!!

Thanks Cyclosaurus. That works great and does just what I wanted. There are a few small glitches though that you may be able to help with.

When clicking on the People gallery, the page we're bypassing blinks briefly before going to the thumbnail page. This doesn't happen on the other pages. Any thoughts?
It's servers latency or you browser caching, it's part of async processing (AJAX).
Also, there is a Back to Album link in the upper left which takes you to a blank page and then you have to click the Back to Index link to get to the main Gallery page. Can I get the Back to Index link on the other page instead?
Give this a try:
<script type='text/javascript'>
_base=parent.window.location.href;
if(_base.indexOf('#')==-1){parent.window.location=_base.split('#')[0]+'#0';}
var albumsIndexURL = 'http://web.me.com/jrcphoto/jrcphoto/GALLERY/GALLERY.html'; // this is you album URL, change this if needed
function newBtI() {
if (parent.widgets) {
headerControls = parent.document.getElementsByClassName('com-apple-iweb-widget-detailview')[0];
backToAlbumDiv = headerControls.getElementsByClassName('left')[0];
backToAlbumAnchors = backToAlbumDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (btaai=0;btaai<backToAlbumAnchors.length;btaai++) {
backToAlbumAnchors[btaai].removeAttribute('onclick');
backToAlbumAnchors[btaai].setAttribute('href', ('' + albumsIndexURL));
chknewBtI = setInterval('newBtI()', 500);
</script>

Enlarged images with built-in magnifier do not load properly as they did in F3, chrome etc.

www.mohlitz.com uses thumbnails which click to give enlarged image with built-in magnifier. Works ok with all other browsers inc F3 but now when pointer hovers over image it goes white instead of showing magnifier F4

Opening enlarged images in web site?

I'm working with a thumbnail gallery of images.
Currently to see an enlarged image one clicks on thumbnail and it opens in same window and the you return to thumbnails to view another.
Example linked:
http://dankennedy.ca/dust_oblivion/dust_pg_one_sm.htm
I realize this is not the most convenient method. What is the best approach to take without going into a Lightbox scenario? Opening in a new tab ?

I realize this is not the most convenient method. What is the best
approach to take without going into a Lightbox scenario? Opening in a
new tab ?
Without going to Lightbox/Jquery your solution is the only solution. Unfortunately you cannot open a new tab in the browser window as there is currently no way of doing this in HTML. Most modern browsers will treat the new window code as a new tab but that is programmed into the browser and not the site.
If you need a more automated way of managing the images you could tie in a database, but your page is only HTML so I don't think that is an option you are considering at this time.

Why can't i enlarge images on kijiji ads

I cannot enlarge the images on kijiji ads or browse the extra ones in an ad. This only started recently. i don't know what changed. This is on safari.

Hi,
I have been trying out the Command+ option and its not the same. Using the track pad to enlarge images and text was by far better and more precise than using the command+ option.....

When I use a tool on an enlarged image the image freezes and I can't get it to move unless I change tools. I tried resetting tools and uninstalling and reloading CC. What should I do?

When I use a tool on an enlarged image the image freezes and I can't get it to move unless I change tools. I tried resetting tools and uninstalling and reloading CC. What should I do? Once any tool is used I can't change its size or move the image.

Howdy,
Sorry for the lack of info. It is Adobe Photoshop CC, I have been using
CS5 and am trying the trial version of CC to see if it worth changing
to. Any tool works once but freezes the tool sizing and image movement.
I am also using the Beta version of Mac Yosemite. But the CS5 version is
working fine.
Hasta,

Why does CTRL+ enlarge images on some pages, not others?

I have a website with many pages. On some pages, CTRL+ enlarges the images, on others, it enlarges the TEXT BUT THE IMAGE ACTUALLY SHRINKS!. An example of a page where CTRL+ does not work:
http://www.microscope-antiques.com/acme4.html
An example of where it does work (home page): www.microscope-antiques.com/index.html
There is no Javascript on these pages. It is all in xhtml 1.0 STRICT, AND W3C CHECKS THE PAGES AS GOOD AS DOES THE CSS CHECKER FOR THE STYLE SHEETS.
i USE A LIQUID LAYOUT SO ALL VIEWERS HAVE THE SITE FILL THE SCREEN.
I have searched the W3C site and the net and cannot seem to find an answer.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Barry

This probably happens because the images are in a div container that has a fixed width.
The images themselves are quite large and scaled down to fit in their container.
If you zoom the page then the containers keep their width and thus the images won't get zoomed as would have happened if thumbnails had been used.
The reduction might be caused by those floating elements having their position as percentages.

Enlarge images on tap from iBooks Author to preview on iPad...

I wonder if anyone can indicate how to output 'all' images to enlarge on tap on preview in iPad?
While some images output correctly on tap on iPad (they get bigger), others don't. Appreciate any ideas.

Thanks much for checking it out! After your response and some additional looking around on our part, we're heading down the "it might be Apple" path - perhaps something that happens on upload from Producer (compression, maybe???).
The reason we're going that way is that we can't really replicate either - without Apple. The upload to the Apple store through Producer seems to be the constant.
So ...
Drop shadows visible directly in .iba file in iBooks Author = yes.
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when using the preview feature in iBooks Author = yes.
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when directly opening the .iBooks file exported in iBooks Author = yes.
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded preview from iBoookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded (full purchase) book from iBookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
Here's the link to one of the books this is happening to. If you have the time/inclination to look, would you please confirm if you can see drop shadows? There should be at least one on every page of the preview.

Again ... much appreciate the look!!!

As3 / mouse hover and enlarge image code

Good Evening,
Would anyone be kind enough to share the as3 code that makes a "movie clip" image enlarge and change opacity with a eased tween on a mouse over, and then go back in reverse when the mouse leaves.
Thanks as always,

For what it is worth, I believe this problem is fixed in Rh10.

Enlarge image maintain resolution

Photoshop Elements 10. I want to enlarge an image and maintain 300 dpi resolution. If I enlarge the image the resolution automatically lowers. I need to keep the res at 300. How do I accomplish this?

Check Resample Image in the Image Size dialog.
