Canon Printer Ts3150

[jennyjoan]

I have a very old photo that I would like to enlarge but don't know how - or maybe the printer can't enlarge - anybody help. thanks

[Barsel]

Can't help you with this JJ , but I think it has something to do with pixels and if you enlarge a photo it might not be very clear.
I'm sure someone will explain better than I can.

Scan the photo to a file on your hard drive.

From there, you could use a photo editing program but it's far easier to create a blank Word (or similar) document. Then insert the photo into it and drag the corners to enlarge it to the required size.

JJ what do you use to talk to us on answerbank? Phone? tablet? laptop? The enlarging is usually done on the whatever, not on the printer. Some really posh printers will do basic stuff but I don't think that yours will. Basically you need to scan the photo in at the printer then do the enlarging in an app on your phone/tablet/laptop. BUT Barsel is right, you can only go so far without blurring the picture unless you have got a proper photo editing program and can digitally increase the definition. Best thing would be to go to a photographic shop and ask them to do it.

aye - ok thanks for the answers - I am sending a collage of old photos and I will just send this one as it is. It actually printed well on the Canon ie much clearer. It'll have to do.

[Barsel]

I agree with woofy, especially if it's a favourite picture and you want a good result.
Do you have a shop like Max Spielmann?

went to bed there but am restless - Barsel I have a brilliant photoshop right at the bottom of the cul de sac but I have done other photos for this collage - I'll just slip this one.

The photoshop at the bottom of my street - my sister found a very tiny blurred photo of dad which should be 100 years ago - you can't hardly see him. - photoshop brought his suit and tie and his actual face - it was incredible. also I found photo of my mum on her wedding day outside her house (not with dad - she was off to walk round to the chapel to meet him) - brought that up clearly too and must say a lovely looking woman but then I would say that LOL - miss her so much .

[Barsel]

I understand JJ, I miss my Mum too especially today as it's the day she gave birth to me 75 yrs ago.

[jennyjoan]

Yes I think we all miss our mums since well mine had anyway - but she did have it hard as she was left an orphan at 16 and with 4 siblings aged 12 10 9 3 - she had to get her birth certificate forged to make her 18 so she got custody of the kids, then she went on to have 8 of us and so when it came to grandchildren - she became tired. And she also worked out in a factory all her life too. I do have the satisfaction tho that when I started to work I gave her every penny I could afford. At 23 years of age I was giving £100 a month - she thought she was in heaven since Dad was giving her £11 a week.
