I have a group photo of 6 people and I am using Photoshop CS3. The photo is a 9.17" wide by 8" high in size. If I view it in print size the features of the individuals are just a little two small to see like I would like them to be. That is at a magnification of 24% which is what Photoshop sets at print size. If I increase it to 25% it is really perfect! How can I get the photo to print at that magnification which I know will give me a photo larger than the 9.17" x 8" which is ok by me? The resolution of the photo is 300 p/i.


I'm not sure I understand what you want the end result to be. If
you want to zoom in so that you can see the people's faces better,
then use the Crop tool. In Photoshop 7, it's in the tool bar, the
third tool down on the left side.(under the lasso). Once you've
selcted the crop tool, at the top of the window you can set the width
the height and the pixels per inch. Set the pixels per inch to 300.
As for the other two, set them to the size you want the picture to be
(8x10 maybe?) Now drag the cursor over the picture so that you get
the faces of the people centered. When you get the desired area
selected, click on the check mark at the top of the window. If you
screw up and don't like the selected area, click on the cancel symbol.
Once you've selected the check mark, you'll see what the final
picture will look like.

I am trying to enlarge the facial features by one percent in size so I guess that I must enlarge the photo itself by one percent. Given that fact what is the safest or best way for me to do that in this case? According to the above facts I want to go from a 24% zoom to a 25% zoom. Thanks
