Answer» Hi, is it possible to INCREASE the size of a photo without decreasing the resolution of the photo, or the photo clarity. I use Gimp to increase photo size. Thanks! -cinque8If you increase the size of an image you will not lose detail. You may have to stand further away to AVOID seeing pixellation etc that is present in the image. What you run into when you TRY to increase the size of photo is how the pixel count is managed. Unless you have super photo software that renders the image with new pixelation, your picture will not look the same. If you double the size of a picture you will have to hold double the distance to see it clear, if you keep it at the same distance then it will look unfocused.

Not sure what you mean by this. If you are talking about interpolation, where the software tries to create new in-between pixels, then this can help (slightly) with the apparent loss of detail caused by magnifying an image (because this is what we are talking about) but and this is a big "but", there is no MAGIC way to create detail that was not there before.
