upping resolution

[woolno]

I use Paint Shop Pro 7X, and I want to do the following –

a) Crop a photo, then
b) Bring the cropped photo back to full size, thereby losing resolution, and then
c) Fill in the resolution so that I have the same number of pixels as the original, but with the cropped shot.

Many thanks

Try: Crop as new image, then select resize and enter the same number of pixels for one of the dimensions (horizontal or vertical) as the original.

You could simply crop. Then Resize maintaining the dpi and inserting the desired dimensions in pixels.

I've never had success up sizing anything apart from Vector.
It blurs the image. The bigger the up size the worse it looks. Sharpen can help to a point but only once. "Sharpen more" isn't a good result I've found.

png, gif, psd, psp... Tried them all. None worked well enough.
