well you can't really, think of it this, way you have data for an image to be 100 px by 100 px there isn't any more data in it, so when you spread it out, you are just spreading out the pixels and blurring the gap between them to get a bigger image.
The best one is probably photoshop, although you can't expect amazing results due to the nature of what you are trying to do.

That is correct, but I heard that there are programs/tools that can handle/fix these gaps efficiently but I am not sure ...
Thanks, I'll take a look at these programs...

Google comes up with an interesting alternative, Vector Magic (Desktop Edition - Windows v1.13).
I'm currently downloading v1.12 as a torrent with a crack to see if this is any good and if it is, will upload onto Mediafire for you; assuming of course it is not on BHW's do not share list of programs.
Btw...as a coincidence, your post reminded me that I was in fact looking for something like this as well (so "Thanks"); I had just forgotten. FWIW I have used Photoshop in the past, however; IMHO the end results have always tended to be a little too pixelated for my liking.
I'll let you know then how this goes.

GIMP is another good program for scaling images. If you can get higher resolution images that's always better. Hehehe...porn webmasters, make sure your camera guys use their 10 megapixel settings!

I think that the vector images are bit different than .jpeg you can make vectors larger unlike the jpeg
not 100% sure though. But thats how the photography stuff is at the moment

I run a 26 inch samsung LCD TV for a monitor. I run firefox with the ZOOM add ons (just go to firefox addons and enter '"zoom" in the search box - mousezoom is really good )
I run an old program (photostudio by lotus), use the browser to enlarge the image (it does a better job than the photo program) and take a screen shot. Save it as a jpg. open it in photo program, crop it accordingly, edit image size and 'sharpen'.
hope this helps

You're absolutely right antsaoo. FWIW this is not the software I was looking for but saying that, Vector Magic (VM) seems to be pretty damn brilliant with bitmap and vector images. I'm still playing with some of the other features because it is supposed to handle photographs as well.I think that the vector images are bit different than .jpeg you can make vectors larger unlike the jpeg
One very cool feature I've noticed already with VM is that "yes"; it's great with all things vector orientated but it also produces some nice, effective silhouette images from photographs, which can in themselves be very useful.
Just a quick follow-up to my last post on this thread - I will have to defer uploading anything for the OP on MediaFire because virustotal.com tells me that the crack.rar file - is just a bunch of viruses held together with trojans.
Sorry!

If the image is a vector, you can resize it to nearly any size without losing any quality. Use photoshop and check it out.

hahahaha i like that anology i wish i could have used that when i used to print banners...
my clients would send me a photo to print on a banner and it would be like their avatar or some bs like 72dpi 100px x 100px and then they wanted it to go on a 8ft x 4ft banner! lol
and they would say it doesnt look blurry on my screen...
thats when i would then blow it up and save it at full size, clip it and send it back to them on letter size pdf! then they would be like ohhhhh...
dont even get my started with rgb and cymk colors! grrrr
