Resizing small big Pictures As the title of this thread says, i am just talking about a very basic aspect of photography and pictures.
Sometimes what happens is, that you take a video from your mobile, or you take a video from a "fake mp4" that doesn't have a screen resolution more than 174x128 (milimeters). But the problem is that you have to achieve a bigger snapshot of certain moment of the video.
To do this, open your mobile video on VLC player (current version has Screenshot ability- which saves it to a particular directory of your choice)
now, take screenshot when you felt you want. Go into the directory and see which pics you want to be seen big.(atleast 1200x900 size)
Now, open your directory having these photos on a photo editor, for ex. Picasa/ Paint.
There is an option called "Resize". Now enter whatever values you want to give. About Paint, there are two choices. One is increasing the size of the picture by percentage; other is increasing by increasing its pixel(measurement). You may chose whichever fits you.
After you have resized, the photo editing is still incomplete. You need to "tweakup-bits" here and there. See the contrast, brightness, or just try using auto-contrast and such commands whichever in your photo editor.
After doing this, change the sharpness or blurring-up of your photo using the helps in your photo editor.
Mostly such small mobile video pics usually get more pixelated i.e broken up into small boxes, thats why your photo looks like to be over-sharpened, so blur it by 1-5 points(as available in the options)
What you will achieve would be a "near to neat" pic.
You may try extensive editing afterwards..
