Use any photo editing software to blow up your image.

In Photoshop CS I demonstrate how to enlarge the image.

Before you do that I recommend closing all applications.

I have a 3ghz + 1 GB memory PC with a nice video card and it took a minute or two. But things stopped moving but it was still "rendering"

Let Photoshop do it's job and take a coffee break.
