Hi, I have a small picture (147*111), and I want to resize it to 640*480... But, when I do that the picture looks very ugly. (you know what I mean). Is there any other way to resize it, but not to look so ugly ? Neßo

Wrong forum?
Sorry, don''t know, but it reminds me of those image enhancements they do in the movies

You can anti-aliase the picture, but you can''t do miracles.

Scaling an image that much is going to result in artifacts. There''s not much you can do to make it scale well. You can filter it or anti-alias it as theSeby said, but it''s still going to look like ass.

Some asses look nice.

Okay...
Well, yeah, scale it up with bilinear filtering for a less "block" effect: then apply some sort of sharpening effect?

bicubic+sharpen works semi-fairly well... if you want it to look real nice you´re going to have to do some retouching by hand though.

I use PSP for most of my "Quick and Dirty" graphics, and the Bilinear filter gives a less blurry outcome than the Bicubic.

If it''s a cartoony picture, converting it to a vector image then resizing may not look too bad. If it''s a photo or something, that would look really weird though.
