First of all: I havent accesed the site for a long time. Last time I asked for advise regarding frames for pictures exhibition. I had quiet a lot imputs that I wat to thank today, again, thank you very much to you who answer my question. My concern today: I took a picture with my canon 7 d in small raw quality. The size of the file is 710.4 kb, 1728 x 2592 pixels. I really want to print it in 30 x 40 size. I know it is going to be weird, but, is there any option with paint pro x3 or photo shop cs2?
Thank you in advance.

There should be a lesson here..never shoot in lesser resolution because you never know when there will be a winner. As far as resizing, This much of a jump in the programs mentioned will show pixelation.. On One puts out a great enlarging app which use fractal interpolation rather than what most programs do and the results are fantastic. You can download a trial copy for this particular piece of work. It is a plug-in which should work in the programs you have. http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/perfect-resize/

I use Perfect Resize by OnOne. It is a plug-for CS6. It might work with PS2. Works pretty well. Good Luck.

You are probably aware of these considerations but thought I might mention them in light of my own experience with upsizing from small image files. First: What will be the likely viewing distance from the image in that size? Secondly: How much pixilation are you willing to accept in the final print? I have quite successfuly gone to 20 x 30 from a similar .jpg file size with virtually NO real pixilation viewed from 24 inches...after some upsizing in PS3... printed by a commercial lab. The "secret" was to upsize by only 10% repeatedly (without saving) until reaching what I thought was an acceptable size for the purpose. I then asked the lab for a sample partial print to judge, after which I let them do their thing. I was very pleased.
:D :D
