Default How to get Higher Resolution with Nikon Coolpics p100?

I have a quick question about the Nikon Coolpics P100.

I have a client who wants to blow up her images that I took at the PC size (1024x768). Any suggestions as to how to fix the resolution on the computer that she can blow them up bigger than 4x6? Or is this even possible? I have already discovered my mistake in shooting in this size rather than the max size. Live and learn I suppose.

Eh, technically they can print to whatever size they want, but of course the more it's enlarged the worse it will look. The resolution it was taken at is the resolution you have, you can't really add detail that isn't there after the fact.

I know it's hindsight and all, but I'd recommend ALWAYS shooting at your maximum resolution; downsizing can always be done later, but you can't go in reverse.

Yes, but it will NOT be pretty.

Live and learn is right: next time, shoot full-res.

Upsizing isn't always that bad for inkjet prints.
Most programs have a method for upsizing......go in small increments. And don't print glossy.
