Hi,
I have some scanned images that are quite small (5cm x 5cm) and would like to increase the image resolution without affecting its quality.

Can anyone reccommend any shareware/freeware or other that can do this ?

Hi Phil

It's really best to scan at a very high resolution. Once scanned,  image resolution  can't be really improved because you are restricted to the number of pixels per inch that the original was scanned at.
