Where are you entering the picture? I didn't think the forum here has a 11 x 14 requirement. Are you starting from 640 x 480 pixels? Hmm. I use this trick. Load the image into a image program resize it and sharpen it. Copy the image. Go back to the original image. Resize it also. Paste the sharpened image as a new layer. Adjust the opacity of both layers to show the best image. Or you could try printing the picture and scanning it at the correct resolution. Bsteph
