Grrr...I've spent alot of time making a video scrapbook for my nephew's high
school graduation and have only been viewing it with the "little" screen up
until now. Everything looks nice and crisp. However, when I went to show my
husband, I enlarged it to fit my computer screen (15.5") and almost every
picture looks blurry or distorted!! YIKES!! I am not having any luck trying
to "sharpen" these pictures...please help!!

Thanks...IVY

Unfortunately, you cannot create resolution that you don't have. ;-(

If the original pictures have enough pixels for the desired image size,
and were in focus, and have not been degraded by over-compression or
scaling, then you can make a crisp presentation.

If they don't have sufficient resolution, etc., then you can't.

You don't mention how you are viewing the show. Did you create a
video/DVD from your slideshow? If so, what resolution profile did
you select? Also, some DVD encoding software noticeably "softens"
content--particularly if it is compressing heavily.

BTW, if you are viewing a DVD, try it on a TV--you may be much
happier with its appearance, since the maximum horizontal resolution
of any DVD is 720 pixels--quite low by PC and digital camera standards.
