I'd say that if photoshop couldnt do it, then others would struggle too.
Google 'The Gimp' (no, you won't find any pics of me when you do, that sort of thing is very private to me) and also picasa.
Not saying they will do what photoshop couldn't, but maybe worth a try.
get a better fotog

If you want to PM or Mail it over to me i'll see if i can relight it using video software :thumbup:
It gives you a good insight here on how to do it with photoshop and there are programs out there that do enlarge it but you can't really add pixels to a picture that weren't there in the first place
confused
Woohoo is right ya cant make it higher resolution. Lighter or darker yeah, but if its low res bigger means blurrier :cry:
that must be why everything goes fuzzy when I try to make mine bigger.
it's all going blurred :shock:

That's right. Sad to say Ms_Whips but the real problem is with resolution. If the information isn't there, it can't be created. Hence the pixellation.
There are bits of software out there that can make your pictures look less pixelated, but the results always look poor, lacking detail and contrast.
Have you tried using the Noise Ninja plug in for Photoshop?
Not used it myself, but it's supposed to be one of the best tools for removing unwanted noise.

Theres a difference between noise and the cause of this sort of pixelation.
Noise is effectivly random errors in the captured signal usually at a pixel level. Although its random it can be compensated for much easier with mathematical algorithms than the pixelation on a low resolution image which is down to a lack of captured information, either by the optical device or the method of storage (and in the case of a phone camera possibly both as they have tiny CMOS camera chips, little light sensitivity and often fairly high compression or coding ratios).
Essentially, noise is usually data that is spurious to the image required and can be compensated for to a degree, low resolution is a lack of data or a case of you can't get back what you didn't have in the first place (although this is also not entirley true with time, patience and skill or some rather excellent software in the case of video biggrin ).
I shall switch off geek mode now as i'm supposed to be on holiday today redface
You can increase appeard quality by a process known as interpolation.

This method involves adjusting pixels and increasing image sise to get rid of the blockiness of the photo then adjusting the noise and sharpness of the photo.
Yes but the final result is still too soft and lacking in detail. Also if you look at it closely you can still see some blockiness caused by the pixellation.
So it is slightly better but still it's much better to take a higher resolution picture at the beginning. There're limits to what the software can do.

Yes spot on and to save the files as TIFF as they are much more workable afterwards.
