It was so simple that I can't believe I've never tried it. I cut out this section of the photo, pasted it into a new image and resized the photo 150 percent. All photos are jpeg optimized for faster loading to your computer.

This one is resized at 200 percent. One was saved as "asample150" and the other "asample200." The photos are so close that I had to look at the file name because I could not tell apart with certainty.

I've taken four or five 6-week courses on graphics software programs for photography, and yet I've never found out how to enlarge a particular spot in a photograph. One of two things must have happened: 1) the course did not include an exercise for doing it, or 2) I forgot. However, since I've taken several courses for two different programs, I'm inclined to think this one aspect was not addressed. I may have tried it at some time but the photo was probably blurred or had the bmp look. However, no more.
If you are wanting to do the same and have had trouble, simply cut out or copy the part you want, paste as a new image, and resize 100-200 percent. I am using Coral Paint Shop Pro X2.
Until next time, God bless.

Cool macros Lynn, congratulations you did it well. I been having the same problems too in focusing the subjects, and thank you for sharing the info.
AL
That solves the mystery for me too. I never could figure it out. I have got try it now. Your macros are superb.
Flowers are really tough for macros because they won't hold still and macro focus is picky. I use your method.
These shots are beautiful!
The photos are beautiful Lynn, you got it figured out. I love to see the flowers fill the photo.
I'm really surprised the Canon won't let you shoot closer. But I guess the idea is to sell additional lenses. My little camera will let me get within 1 cm of the subject.
I'm looking forward to seeing more macros from you.
Great tips! I will use them. Gotta hurry off your site, here on my laptop the snow effect makes it go crazy!!!
great! u did it!
