Pixelation Problem

[jillm]

Hi
I am working on a new scrapbook page with Heather Ann's Spring Forward kit. I am having a problem because the photo that I want to include on my page is quite pixelated. You can see a draft of my page on my blog by going here: http://mercierchronicles.blogspot.com/ I would love any suggestions on how to fix the photo.

Thanks!
Jill

Hi, Jill! Adorable page!! One thing you can try is to run your photo through Neat Image - free download available here:

Or you can scale down the size of your page from 12x12 to 8x8 or 6x6.

Or you can sharpen your photo in your photo editing software or run a glowy filter/action on it.

Hopefully others will comment with their suggestions as well :)

Do you know off hand what the original size and resolution the pictures is? Pixels x pixels and DPI? What is the size of your document?

Thanks

THanks to both of you for responding. I am new to digital scrapbooking and I don't know what the photo's resolution. However, I did tryusing the software that you (Heather) suggested and it did help a bit. The picture that I cropped was a small "piece" of a larger photo. I suppose it was just tooooo small to be enlarged so big! Live and learn....next time, I'll remember to zoom in more when I am taking the picture!:)
