Using Internet Explorer to print bigger

One of the new features that was added to Internet Explorer 7 was the ability to set the web page magnification. You do this by clicking on the magnification setting in the bottom right hand corner of the browser window. It actually does a surprisingly remarkable job at enlarging images. I think you will get better results this way than
you would trying to enlarge your image in most editors.

From what I can see, it accomplishes this by blending the hard edges of the pixelation you normally get from enlarging an image. This results in a smoother and softer but more blurry looking image. Depending on how much you need to enlarge your image by, this may satisfy your needs quite nicely.

You can also change the magnification by holding down the CTRL key while scrolling your mouse wheel. To restore the original magnification, simply click the number. If the pick list appears (most times it just resets back to 100%), just select 100%.

Once the image is big enough for you, hit Alt-Print Screen to capture the browser window and paste it into your favorite image editor where you can crop it.

This is not the same as changing the font size, a feature which has been available for many years.
