Hi guys I have an image that I would really like turned into a landscape canvas but the image needs to enlarged without loosing too much quality. any ideas?
Ideally I would like the image to onto a 36''x16'' canvas. They mentioned that the image should be at least 1mb. Mines not half of that.
Im a bit lost! :undecided:
any help or advice from you photoshop peeps would be great!

that's come from a camera phone yes?

you'll probably be able to get away with a canvas print, but it's going to look like a watercolour as there simply isn't enough information in the original to start off.

download gimp and do it youself.
its basically photoshop but its free.
simple to use should have it done in 2 mins.

I've resized it but when the image is enlarged to the dimensions of the canvas it doesn't scale correctly so is slightly skewed.
The image is here (http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy183/codling1234/F1.jpg):

hi, I think you'll be disappointed enlarging a camera phone pic up to 36" wide.
If you still want to give it a go, here's it 36" x 26" original aspect ratio:

Here it is cropped to 36" x 16", with blur of extremities to focus on Merc F1 car:

You'll always end up with pixelation when you enlarge. To begin with, you need an image with high enough resolution for it. You can always downsize, but you should never enlarge as there isn't the data bigger than what you have.

thats not the best photo anyway? i know its only a phone pic and you took it and all but its not what i would term a keeper to go on a wall, sorry sounds harsh but I am just being honest..
think about getting it printed as a photo poster in the size of the canvas that you want and see how it looks, its a cheaper way of seeing if it will work at that size, if it works and you're happy with it then go for a canvas print.. remember that with a canvas you have to cater for an overlap to go around the canvas
this is the best image I managed to shoot of Button at F1 quali, Silverstone, this year..

to hide the low quality of it you really need to add some filters in photoshop. something like a zoom blur or something will disguise it a bit.
