Zoom in on photo

I have a photo that I am using in a photo montage. It is a class photo with 56 individual pictures. I have a scene of the entire photo and a scene of the specific individual to highlight. Using "Scale" transition, the individual photo will grow out of the class picture from his location to fill the screen. I would rather have the "camera" zoom into the individual. Using "Zoom" will do exactly that on the full class photo but the image deteriorates at that magnification to unusable. Is there another effect that will give the results that I am looking for?

Bob,

If you have the actual photo - I would recommend scanning the photo and then executing the effect/s desired in Photo Studio2. You will have a lot more flexibility and quality maintained with the higher resolution zooming capable in PS2.

Chet

That could be a solution. In this case, the photo is about 16 X 20 inches and in a frame. Not easily scanned. Thanks Chet.

Hmmm, that does make it more 'interesting'.

How about shooting it with a high MP digital camera, then importing that photo?
Just an idea, anyway.
