Would the image of here good enough to print at say 10×8

[Lynn Normington]

Lee is that mm or inches 🙄

I thought the image was a bit rough so it might need rescanning and starting all over again to make a larger print.

Software used was photoshop, zoom right in and use the clone tool.

Cheers John

[LeeMorris]

Its a birthday present so really needs to be ok to print 10" x 8"

Exactly the same way.
You need to use a fairly large pixel size for the dress to hold the pattern.

[LeeMorris]

Hi
Is there anything i can use to make the colours stand out more. I know its black and white but need to be sharper

Lee

[Peter Dee]

Lee, in Photoshop try a combination of unsharp mask, contrast /exposure/gamma, and in this case the shadows/highlights feature might work well.
Save the original for comparison (or duplicate the layer) although you can preview all settings before committing.
