You live in the same city as me I believe.

Copy the picture to a usb drive. Take it to Abbey Bookbinding and
Printing which is in the workshops just behind the Bingo Hall
alongside Tescos on Western Avenue.

He can copy that to a poster of up to A0 which is huge but A3 should
be big enough. You could also have it laminated then then it will last
a lot longer.

It's not getting it printed that's would be the issue - it's getting a
high-quality version of it, in whatever form.

It was originaly a colour image (I think) I can't tell if this is just
a coloursied version.

That's a hand-tinted copy. The original would certyainly be B&W.

I think the pixels would be a tad lumpy at that size.

I've created a larger version with the pixelation cleared up a bit for
anybody interested;

The way to enlarge a low pixel original is to do it in stages. Rather
than jumping straight to 200% enlarge it no more than 10% at a time.


You may as well go straight up, and low pass filter. Same effective result.

Didn't work out better with Paint Shop Pro 8, probably require better
software

There are times when the quality of the software is not the issue: what
you need is better original information[1], in this case a higher
resolution original to start with.

Haven't looked at the original image, but you could consider
converting it into a vector first which gets rid of scaling problems
instantly. Try here for a go http://vectormagic.com/home BUT be warned
- this thing is horribly addictive, even without you having to adjust
the filters a few times anyway, and you could EASILY waste hours on
there!

Hello Clinch - having another day off - or are things just slack at
work today?
