How to enlarge a picture and see the person in the pic clearly?

How to enlarge a picture and see the person in the pic clearly? You see it in movies where a group of people enlarge a photo and the picture is slowly analyzed (sometimes pixel by pixel) and enlarged without the picture getting blurry.

statler01,

 That's what I am looking for... Did you make that animation yourself? Can you explain how that's done... Maybe step by step would be great...

;-)
wait, let me get this straight - This wasn't a question about how to reall do it - you just wanted to simulate something???
Hmmmm, I am confused. Is the animation that statler created just an animation???


Hmmmmm.

My apologies for any confusion with the above graphic. It is a Hollywood style fake. (Which is exactly what you see in the movies). The graphic and explanation were intended for two purposes: To show roughly how it is done for a movie effect. I basically worked backwards, taking a high resolution image, and turning it into a low resolution image, then simulating the enlargement by bringing back part of the original high resolution image.
The other reason was because it was fun to make. I had never done something like that before, and it's always fun to try new things.

THE IMPORTANT PART: As noted above, there is no way to do this well in real life. There are some softwares out there that make pretty bold claims about what they can do. As I said above, the raster to vector stuff works ok with line art, but not so much with photographs. The stuff that resamples images isn't worth what they charge for it. (in my opinion)
Well, I will say Genuine Fractals works quite well, but ONLY when you are already starting from a high-resolution image (say 6+megapixel) and increasing it to poster size and beyond. If you are starting from something already cropped and compressed, it's not going to be able to do much.
