I was trying to get it as big as possible without it pixellating and losing detail. I had tried expanding on my Paint Shop Pro 9 to no luck because it started to pixellate (unless I did something wrong). I was going to blend it into an all black background 760 x 411 if clear enough. I had seen it on another blog years ago clearer and much larger and I had at one time the larger copy. I somehow lost the original large copy and have not been able to find it at any of the free stock photo sites.

I have downloaded your larger copy and placed it within a black image 760 x 411 and I am trying it right now on the main page to see how it looks. I replaced the old tunnel graphic with this one and will leave it up a couple of days and think about it very hard.

I really appreciate your help very much

The reason why I loved this picture was because it showed two people walking out of the tunnel to the light which is the them I am trying to communicate.

I won't be offended if it isn't right.
I know how enlarging it causes distortion.

I know you won't be offended..

I am looking at it because I really like how the edges of the tunnel walls and floor look in contrast to the black background

I went with the original image in your first post and was able to paste it in transparently into the larger black background. It seemed to blend in better and come out more sharply while amazingly smoothing out the edges.

Also from a conceptual standpoint, not only does the page go from dark into light, grey-scale to colors, but also small micro-cosmic places (like the inside of a tunnel) to large macro-cosmic places like the outside world in which we live.

Thank you very very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a graphics artist per se. What I do know has been self taught and/or done via reading Internet tutorials. I could probably do even better if I knew even more.

I'm not sure what yall are doing here but here is a version. I removed some of the pixelation and added some lighting effects.
