Hi Jeff, Resampling is generally not a good idea.

The original file sizes you quoted will give:

15 x 20 @ 141 dpi with no resampling.

30 x 22,5 @ 94 dpi with no resampling.

The first should be just about printable on a desktop printer as it is.

The second will give poor quality.

You could try resampling, then blur and sharpen, but it is a case of trash in trash out. Photoshop cannot recreate the missing detail.

There is a new scaling plug-in from Extensis, but I have not tried it personally.
