Hi Steve

Can you be more specific?  What software are you using?  How are you enlarging the picture?

Most print review offer the option to magnify the image but this is only done on screen and to obtain a physically larger image you would need a graphics program to alter the physical dimensions of the original image.

Ok,have downloaded Infranview,hopefully this will help.While on the subject of resizing etc,can you not see a preview of your post on here when adding a image,when i try to see a preview it tells me to reattach any attachments or does it go straight on the post..hope someone can understand that.

It's one of the vagaries of the style of bulletin board that you cannot preview images and I agree it can be quite annoying at times but I doubt if there is much (if anything) that could be to correct the matter.

If you print an image from windows using th commonly used tasks at the left to invoke the printing wizard, you can select what image size you want.
Otherwise resize the picture, zooing will not change the size
