We propose to process all of the galactic and extragalactic images of the First Look Survey (FLS) using the ``HiRes" resolution-enhancement procedure, which will increase the spatial resolution of Spizer data by a factor of between two and three over that obtainable in a standard mosaiced image. The product of this effort will be a catalog of mosaiced and resolution-enhanced images, to be released to the astronomical community at the earliest possible date. The release will include the HiRes software tool itself. As an additional task, we will undertake an analysis of the resolution-enhanced image set in order to evaluate statistically the spatial and spectral properties of the confusion in the various representative regions, and extract physical information from spatially resolved sources which will include circumstellar disks and prestellar cores. The value of HiRes for optimizing the resolution of survey data has been proven in the case of IRAS, as a result of which the scientific return of that survey was greatly increased. Similar rewards will result from its application to Spitzer data, and in particular, it will strengthen the stated goals of the FLS. We request 125K for this effort.
