Illustrator :: How To Scale Image Up Without Having It Pixelated
Mar 21, 2013
I was working on a project and I did a very silly mistake with the measurements.
Â
The mistake: Lets say that instead of doing 5 cm I did 5 mm
What I did: Scale the entire art by 1,000%
Result: Looks perfect on the screen and it is the accurate size.
Â
-> The Problem: Now when I export it to JPG or other format it comes out pixelated. I even tried increasing the resolution to 2,400 dpi (I think it is the highest but it is still pixelated)
Â
I'm new to illustrator, but since all the art is vectorized I thought I could change the scale as I pleased and still have a neat image on both the screen and when I export.
I'm using CS5 on Mac OSX 10.7.4 and the graphic looks pretty good at 100%, and prints just fine. The design shop is trying to put it on a coffee cup though, and when they scale it down, it looks horrible. Pixelated everywhere.  -antialiasing is on -resolution is 300 DPI -align to pixel grid is not checked.  Here is a screen shot at 100%  Here is a screen shot after I scale the object 70%...
I have a photo which was originally approx 150mm x 90mm
I had to resize this to nearly half its original size and it looked decent. I then saved the image as a tiff and placed it in illustrator. It still looked decent in Illustrator until i printed. when it was printed it turned out a little pixelated.
Why is it that when resizing (shorter than original) images pixelate and how can i eliminate this. Also what can i do so to avoid the problem when printing in illustrator.
I mean I always replicate most artwork via vectors in illustrator but photos as you all know can only be transferred across
I originally created an image in Illustrator and transfered it to Photoshop so i can change the hues. Now I want to take that Photoshop file and transfer it back to Illustrator but the the edges on the object are very jagged and rough whilst the object in Photoshop is smooth and the transition of gradients is smooth.
image looks pixelated after saving with transparent background... Â i created a logo in adobe illustrator cc and i wanted to saved it for web in order to be able to copy and paste the logo where ever I wanted but the image looks extremely pixelated after saving as an png, and for web.
I am trying to add text to my scanned watercolor illustrations for a childrens book I wrote. I am using Illustrator and I just loaded a jpeg image into illustrator, and it is HUGE! I tried to use the scale tool and I can't figure out how to get the jpeg image to shrink down to fit in the box! All I get is a blue snowflake and also a menu w/ choice of uniform or nonuniform for the scale.
I am using Adobe Illustrator CS6 and need to adjust the map scale of an image. In my class, we were told to go to the Image menu bar then click on Image Resize, but I do not see any of these options on CS6- they are on CS5. How do I get to Image resize? Also, where is Image Mode?
i used photoshop to design the website sliced it with image ready and imported as html..but then i check out the website some of the image is pixelated..how can i fix it.to view it as the same thing as i see it in photoshop while designing?
Why, when you downsample a picture (say from 300 to 72 dpi) does it look look pixellated, even though it is scaled down in Indesign and the effective DPI is well over 300.
I am using little icons that are clipped out photos they will be printed at about a quarter inch. These icons are on a bunch of calendars so they are placed in Indesign hundreds of times. Their actual size was originally about 5 inches at 300 dpi -- wayyyy larger than necessary for the final printed size. Â I need to downsize them, without have to adjust each one in the ID document as they are already placed. I can do this by downsampling them in PS, from 300 to 72 dpi and not change the dimensions.But when I do this, even though they are so small in the ID document, they still look pixelated.
I have an image that's good quality when small. I want to enlarge the image, however, when I do so, it becomes all pixelated and poor quality. Is it possible to enlarge the image so its still good quality.
I want to create an image with (intentionally) pixelated look. I have an original 12 megapixel image. When I zoom in Photoshop to the area of interest, I see the pixelated look that I want. I can crop an area of interest out of the original image, with the area being around 150 pixel in width. Now I would like to enlarge the size of the image to around 1500 pixel width, but keeping the pixelated look. And this is the part I do not know how to do. The interpolation algorithms in the Image Size tool do not produce the right effect - I want some algorithm which just clones each pixel by a factor of 10.
i was doing a school project and somehow by the time i was done with my design, all my smooth, 3D objects were all pixelated. Is this what happens when you "rasterize" it?
I have been mocking up an image on Photoshop, the final image basically consists of a variation of placed images. Whenever I zoomed in, one small part of the image wouldn't load properly and instead be pixelated. Usually it would go away once I either zoomed in or out a step further. But now it has just remained there and I have a pixelated strip that won't go away. Â I'm not too sure why this may have occurred? This is a small screenshot of the strip:
We are using autocad map 3d 2012. and autocad 2000. when printing an old drawing made in autocad 2000 with version 2012 the bmp files that we inserted are printing pixelated almost like a digital camo would look. if we go back to 2000 they print fine. we are using a canon ipf710 printer/plotter.
I took a picture on my phone when I was out, and it's kinda.. blurry and slightly pixelated. I was just wondering if theres anyway to make the image much more detailed - basically a better quality of image.
I made an image for the Ironshop comp. and I made it just a tiny bit too big. I figured out the hard way that you also get quality loss when you scale an image down. My specs are 4454px. x 3345px., 61" x 46", and 72 ppi. I understand that my image should be 800px. x 600px., and Ive tried to up the pixels per inch, but it ends up very pixelated and jaggy.
I am using Photoshop Elements 4.0 to add color to some images that were hand drawn and have been scanned in as pdf's. When done, they will be enlarged to poster size (18 in x 24 in). I have tried to save them in a variety of formats, but every time I do, they come out very pixelated when they print in poster size. (The originals look fine in the larger size.) how to maintain the image quality so they will look decent when they are enlarged to print?
I'd like to write an article for my blog about increasing the size of the images without getting it blurred or pixelated.
I usually use a combination of facet and despeckle to improve the resolution of the oversized image.
I've also tried a plugin that supposedly resizes the images and worked on a fractal based concept, but to be honest the results were not very convincing.
I have a vector file somebody made, and every time I try to export it the file comes out pixelated. Â If I do pixel preview at 100%, it's fine. Â Here's the illustrator screen: Â Â And here's the InDesign screen
I want to do this pixelated gradient thing for my earth. Something like the one in the picture but I don't know how to start. I found a question that is exactly like mine, but I dont really get it. So anyway, I did the outline for my earth, But what do I do after that?
I'm work ing illustrator CS6. My bezier curves are displaying jaggedly. My document raster settings are set to 300. Pixel preview is not on, and overprint preview doesn't change it. Â This image is a screenshot of how it displays in illustrator. and here is the same file with a gray background as a high quality PDF.
Ok so I am fairly new to illustrators but I have trained and used Photoshop for years and I have never had this problem. I am creating a logo in Illustrator and when I save it for web and upload it into facebook the image is completely pixelate. I have the document set for RGB at 72 PPI. I am using a web safe color and on screen in illustrator my image loogs perfectly clear. I have tried to save the document is several different file formats and nothing seems to work. I have watched several tutorials and read many documents and set up my document formats to match and it has not fixed the issue.Â
Ive tried downloading some brush sets and applying them in PS. The only problem is that the edges of the brushes look blurred when the sizes are increased and are no way as sharp as on the examples attached. The pixelated blocks of colour and edges of the photos are so sharp they could be bitmapped?
Could these kind of effects be created in an image/border effect program ie something like Extensis Photo Frame?
I am trying to make a globe using a Equirectangular Vector Globe and a set of grid lines using the grid tool.I set everything up and set it all as a symbol. Do my half circle and revolve it, map the art work and size to fit.However when I look at my grid lines at 100% they are pixelated. At 300% they are not.
