I’ve got a very small bitmap (8 colours) of a graphic that I want to enlarge. Is there some magic tool in Photoshop CS2 that will do this without the edges and the details becoming blocky?

Small graphic? Bitmap ;(? How big and what resolution?
Try, Edit>Transform>Scale or Image>Image Size and increase the Document dimensions making sure resample image and constrain proportion boxes are ticked. You could be disappointed.

Hi Mike,

It’s tiny! W=44 pix, H=26 pix, Res=72 pix/inch

As an icon it looks fine, but I want to print it about 8x larger.
