done. This "IrfanView" utility is somewhat like being digital image potty trained, as well as being toddler approved and thus as good as any LeapFrog pop-up book can deliver. Not that any number of equal or better digital image methods for enlarging haven=92t existed as is, but here's yet another old one that has been perked up so that not even a 5th grader is necessary to operate it. If you can click your mouse or one finger type with a keyboard, that's all the image processing expertise you'll ever need. IrfanView http://www.irfanview.com/ PhotoZoom Pro (mac and pc) http://www.benvista.com/main/content/content.php?page=3Ddownloads The original GIF image file: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/imgcat/hires/mgn_c115s095_1.gif If you=92d care to first crop out and save the most interesting 10% portion at 1:1, as I've previously instructed (roughly a 64 k image file), whereas the automated enlargement process runs ten fold faster, and perhaps another ten fold faster yet if using XP instead of Windows 7 (but that's not my fault). Of course Apple/MAC users are not without as good or better alternatives (PhotoZoom). However, this radar obtained image is just a basic monochrome file of 651 k, of not all that many pixels to begin with. So, a 10x enlargement is going to be relatively efficient and otherwise simplified, in that not even a 5th grader is required. Virtually all digital cameras and photo printers of any significance come packaged along with a basic photo resizing/enlarging and their automatic zoom filtering utility for delivering sufficient image detail results. Commercially or via government agencies, better zoom/ enlarge or resampling results are certainly available to those with either the necessary loot or having inside connections for using such. Start looking for Waldo near that complex tarmac, or perhaps he=92s near that large clover shaped reservoir that=92s connected to that other reservoir, or near the fluid arch, bridge or nearby any number of other large scale infrastructure (including those rectangular rock quarry sites situated just north of that bridge). There=92s at least 5 gold stars, a million points and your name given full credits for finding Waldo. (team/class efforts are allowed, because there=92s lots of credit to go around) Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / =93Guth Usenet=94 Other posts:
