hi guys, im new to photoshop and illustrator, and i have been told there is a way to do this...

i have a small image that i select with the magic wand tool in photoshop and i try to free transform it to a much much larger size, but when i paint bucket it, it is very pixelated and looks terrible. how can i copy the selected area and enlarge it in illustrator without loosing any quality?

thanks guys!
