You can change the resolution (DPI) in Image - Image Size, just uncheck resample beforehand as this will resample the image.

If you mean that you want to make an image bigger and better quality than the original, then the short answer is no.

Scaling it up only makes a bigger softer image. You can't increse the detail but if you want to use them printing you can remove the pixelation... As I said though it gets softer. They do have specific filters for resizing that do well at preserving the edges and filling in the solid color area. Don't use photshop so Idon't know what to suggest. If you use the resizer in photoshop make sure it's set to bicubic.

Look at the samples on http://meesoft.logicnet.dk/

scroll down to Restoration by deconvolution

I downloaded the free image analizer program and have not yet been able to duplicate the results from the help screen, but if it works it will indeed improve a picture.

That only sets the compression, it doesn't have anything to do with the resolution. The higher you set it the better the quality it will maintain from the original. BMP won't have that since it's a uncompressed format which is why the filesizes are so huge compared to .jpg. If your saving to HDD I'd suggest using 90% or better. You'd only want to use less if your using the images on a website where you may want to consider people on dial-up. For the average home user you just want to avoid using it at all and just leave it at 90....

im not sure if you want the actual quality of the picture to be better or you want it to "look" like a higher quality picture.. a lot of times raising contrast and saturation a little makes it "look" like higher quality picture...
