S3 question

[kay1]

I recently purchased an S3...still have a lot to learn on it. Yesterday by mistake I changed the recording pixels to small (640x480 pixels), and then I shot some pictures that were important to me, not realizing I had changed the recording pixels. Now I have some great shots, at a really bad quality. I know this is farfetched, but is there anything I can do with the camera to change those pics? PLEASE??

i dont think there is anything you can do. Once its been compressed to a small image size you cant pull quality from that small image.

No. Sorry, "what's done is done and cannot be undone" - take it as a lesson and make sure you don't repeat the mistake. I think we've all done that or something like it and just have to shrug it off and move on. Best bet would be, if possible, turn the "bad" shot into an interesting artwork. Blow it up, use dry brush or poster edges, or watercolor filters using PS or Elements. You might come up lucky. Look how I "saved" a blurry, bad, noisey photo last week...

I rather like the effect, but the photo alone was a loser.
