Can anyone suggest a good image enlargement software for increasing the size of an image for banners or large posters. Something that reduces the fall in quality and sharpness.

Or suggest a good technique in PS for doing it.

thanks

I'm not too familiar with the process. But I can offer one thing I know:
Try to upsize by factors of 2 squared, like twice or 4 times, or 8 times. The pixels are basically just copied and there are no algorithms that may cause the image to make funny jpeg artifacts.

At least the resizer has an online demo. I'll have to try that later.
