You can increase file size in PS. Make sure you have the 'bicubic' option ticked.

but it can't work miracles. It will stretch the image and will try to interpolate the missing data. Depends how small your existing image is.

 

[Ashers]

its 800 by 470

 

[andrewc]

so tiny. I think you're gonna be disappointed with the results. You could try upscaling in photoshop, or download genuine fractals (30 day demo available).

sorry, but yr doomed. There isnt any way that can be "up'd" to give a high res photo.
I assume they want >4Mpix.

they dont specify what they want, although i have a 20mb tiff of my entry they emailed me for a hi res one and i sent them a 2mb jpg.

Ashers I have genuine fractals if u email me your pic i will try to enlarge it for you. ( fionabrims@aol.com)

Hi

We usually ask for higher-res images if we need to check focal points / sharpness or sometimes if you've been placed and we need something a little higher when printing.

Thank you both for emailing us your images. The Angel picture was again a little too low in resolution to be of use (bad luck about the laptop too!!).

You can use genuine fractals as suggested to upscale an image if you know someone with the plugin for PS

I was going to suggest Genuine Fractals or Alien Skin to do the enlargement - both do a pretty reasonable job. Let me know if you need a hand.
