How can I convert low res photos to high res to put on a website

Hi

I am wanting to upload some photos to a website to advertise a house for holiday rentals. The photos I have are too low res for the website, is there a way of converting them to a higher res format (minimum 1024 x 768)?

Thanks in advance.

Just in case, complement of information:

after clicking "OK" in the "Adjust Size" dialog,, before closing "Preview", click "File" up there, then "SAVE AS" ( this will produce a new photo, leaving the original untouched ).

In the opening dialog, add a letter ( for instance "A" ) at the end of the name ( since this is a new photo that we want to sit right beside the original, if you choose to reintroduce it into iPhoto, and then into the same Event ) , and change the destination to "Desktop" ( ease of access , and from where you can drag-drop the pic back into iPhoto later ).

"Format" should be "JPEG", and "Quality" set at "Best".

larry,

instead of " if you go up 5% or 10% you will not lose much (5 or 10% quality) but is you upsize a significant amount you get a very significant amount of degradation "

if you had written " if you go down 5% or 10% you will not lose much (5 or 10% quality) but if you downsize a significant amount you get a very significant amount of degradation ",

you would have been right ! Downsizing will degrade the quality of a pic.

Was just a matter of confusing "up" and "down"...

Sorry but you are simply a troll and have not idea what you are talking about or doing - everything you post is wrong adn you are misleading users who actually want help rather than having trolls corrupt the correct answers with totally inaccurate posts


The Users opinion or the help I've provided vis-a-vis the help you have provided (76,425 va 180) says it all


Please restrict your posts to things you know and understand (which apparently based on your many incorrect posts includes nothing about iPhoto, Photos or digital photography)


Trolls are not welcome here

Improve? To my eye they both awful just differently so. One is blocky the other looks out of focus as the pixels are smeared into each other. If you're happy with that, good for you, but there's no way I would call that better or an improvement.


Basically, it proves your point as you have your standards, it demonstrates mine as I have different standards.
