To all the HHH members, this is going to sound too familiar. I have a good friend, who is taking his grandson to a fishing pond to teach him the finer art of landing a fish. It happened last weekend, now my friend asked me to enlarge the fish he got. Like three times larger. While I have PSP2022, Affinity, and Elements 22 all the books I have does not have an example enlarging an object in a pic. I know someone out there could do this in several clicks. Would that be one of you?? But to make this a teaching moment, would you also explain the process to me so that I can do such an act in the future. I have all three kinds of books but NOTHING jumps out to me as a method to do this. My thinking is to create layers, mask around the fish, move it to the new layer. How do I enlarge the fish three times it's size and move it around to cover the white hole that the fish left. Then collapse the layers. Am I close?? The pic is from an Iphone as a jpeg.

Just curious.

Is grandpa open to the idea of having more connection time by taking grandson out fishing again, trying a change of bait if necessary?
--- or going to a larger pond to cast a hook if that catch was the largest to be expected from that pond?

IF they should happen to haul in and land a larger catch, grandpa and grandson may eventually both be grateful for
-- more real life time together,
-- more interesting fishing time together
-- an actual experience of bringing in the catch, with a real photo of a real fish whose size is satisfactory -- possibly leading to a double consequence of an increased interest both in fishing and photography.

Not trying to be nasty nor sarcastic. Just curious.
I have no experience to lean on for answers in how the grandpa / grandchild connections function:
--- never spent even one second with either grandpa; never saw either one except a couple old grainy photos that I was told were of them.
--- never heard much about the grandpas, either -- the one, basically good things were said about him -- the other one, nothing good was said about him.

I have no grandchildren, so I know nothing about the grandparent / grandchild connection from that side, either.
Purely as an outsider, who probably has nothing valuable to add, I can't help but wonder if those grandparents and grandchildren who do have connections truly appreciate what they have and strive to make good use of the time they can be together.
Some of us will never get any closer to that connection than to exist in wonder of what it was like to live in functional families that cared and looked out for one another.
