Applying a guassian blurr will smooth out the image somewhat, but it's still going to loose shaprness though.... Keep in mind that screen resolution is much higher than printer res. Have you did a test print yet? Sometimes it looks ok once it's printed out because of this.
: : I have an image I want to use for my marquee but it's too small.
: That is the root of your problem. When you blow up normal graphics (not vector graphics) they become more pixelated the larger they get.
: :I'm having a lot of trouble re-sizing it to the size I need for my marquee. I lose sharpness after increasing the size too much. Can anyone help me understand what needs to be done to increase graphic
: : sizes and still keep the quality. I'm using Corel PhotoShop and ImageMagick. I've tried increasing pixels per inche, number of colors, added sharpen filters, etc., but can't seem to get what I'm looking for. The problem is I don't know enough about graphic files to know what's needed.
: : Any help is appreciated!
: : Thanks.
: About the only advice I can offer is find a larger image to start with.
