You might try this, if you have access to a color printer (inkjet or laser) or grayscale with a regular inkjet printer:
>>Load the image (thumbnail) in a graphics program. I use IrfanView which is a freeware program.
>>Select the ‘print’ command. An adjustments window will pop up. Play around with the various settings until the ‘preview’ is a good size. Then print it.

Typically, even a regular computer image (gif, jpg, etc.) is relatively small (about the size of a postage stamp). The printer driver settings may be able to resize the printable image without causing too much distortion.

If you can get good prints, then you can rescan them to recreate computer images.
Thank you - great idea!
Again, thank you to everyone that replied. I appreciate your help, opinions and the time you took. I knew I could count on FReepers ~ I know we’ve got some folks with the biggest hearts I’ve ever experienced and brains that are similarly sized!
