    Best way to sharpen overenlarged images in PSP5?

    I have this design ( I lost the original ) Im trying to recreate / alter for a potential t-shirt that I did a few yrs ago ,problem is there is lot of grey / grainy midtones here and there ( some fine /thin lines basically ) because I had to enlarge it from a smaller screen print .

    The image itself is basically 3 tones , though the bulk of it in black n white.

    Does any one have any shortcuts or tips on how I can resolve this ( Im using PSP5 ) ?

    You could always send the image to me and I can try it in Pshop ?

    Hi G,

    I've posted part of the image on another forum I just joined where you can see what I'm hopefully talking about.

    The actual pixels look solid enough but obviously start to blur up badly and "bleed " into various midtones as soon as I try to resize the image and zoom in .

    I would but the design itself is pretty complex i.e. random lines , so no definite shape patterns or real symmetry except in the border which doesnt matter .

    Ive had to enlarge it x620% literally but I think I got it down now , at least better than where I was.
