If you are looking for an ultimate method to enlarge a photo without blurry in photoshop, here it is. Today, I will like to share a trick and it is super easy to use. Only a few steps required.
Start Enlarging Photos in Photoshop
Step 1. Prepare a small photo and open it in your Photoshop CC. The following image is my sample. The size is 200*199. Only 14.1KB.
Step 2. Upscale the image for 800% and you will find it become blurry.
Step 3. Go to Filter->Blur->Gaussian Blur and set the Radius to 6 Pixels.
Step 4. Click “Ctrl” and “M” combination keys to call Curves. Then, set like the following screenshot. You will find an amazing thing happens.
However, after testing, I found this trick is only useful for black-and-white photos. If you want to use this method for colorful photos, the results are quite bad.
Alternative method
However, if you want to enlarge a photo in a much more professional method, I suggest you try AI Image Enlarger. Here are two samples that are enlarged by AI Image Enlarger for 400%.
