I have two extremely small images that I need to scale up. Unfortunately i can't post them but i need to know if anyone has any ideas on how to go about making them look more presentable.
View 1 RepliesI have an Adobe Illustrator CS6 document with body copy set using 6.5 pt. Helvetica Neue LT Std. - Bold Condensed & Light Condensed.
After saving the file as a PDF in Illustrator using the [Smallest File Size] setting, closing the file, and opening the newly saved PDF in Illustrator - the 6.5 pt. text is now 5.53 pt. with a vertical scaling of 117.65%.
This PDF is for client review purposes - on screen or laser print - not for reproduction. We try to keep the file size as small as possible to make downloading and e-mail attachments manageable.
In this case, my client is opening the PDF in Illustrator to double-check the text point sizes for legal & regulatory purposes.
If I save the same Illustrator file as a PDF using other settings like [High Quality Print], the text size is unchanged.
I was able to repeat the issue using Helvetica LT Std in place of Helvetica Neue LT Std.
I have attached some screen shots for reference.

way to scale down an immage and make it not look so distorted
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to replace the top magazine cover (Needlework) in the following image.How do you embed the the 2nd image to fit a spefiic area in the 1st image. I have tried using the ctrl-t function and still is not fitting exactly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy knowledge (lack of, really) with content aware scaling is that 1st you create a new layer of the background and then rescale accordingly. I did the following: -
1- Created a 2nd layer
2- used quick selection tool on my main subject ( a person) and named it.
3- deselected the selection
4- Edit menu --> Content aware scale
5- resized it to something smaller (chose my previous named selection channel).
6- Pressed "Enter"
The result is that I can now see 2 images; the smaller sitting on the larger. What now? All I want is the smaller image. If I throw away the original layer what I end up is the new layer with the white and gray default background showing as part of the image (which ends up being printed as well or if saved looking as is with the grey-white. Is what I should do the obvious--cut out via cropping the un-needed (gray-white) part?
I have a problem. I'm making a videogame with a videogame-making program, and I can import my videogame characters from computer images. One example is the Forest Imp monster:
PROBLEM is.. there's an invisible (because it's white) border of pixels around this monster. If you want to see it, go ahead and open the above png in Photoshop and use the Paint Bucket Tool to fill in the background, but make sure Anti-Aliased is OFF. See all the white pixels around the monster? Those show up in the videogame: ....

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just started using photoshop to develop some designs that are meant to be printed on fabric. And then sewn into dresses..While I know how to change the size and scale of the image and canvas. I can not tell how big or small the objects or different elements in the pattern will be when printed out. For example if I want to have a certain part of the pattern appear on the shoulder of a dress and another on the hem, how do I ensure that they are printed at the right size and in the right place. I tried printing out one pattern on a meter of fabric and it turn out that it was too big and most of the design will be cut in the process of making the dress. I have no way to determine the dimensions. Is there a way where I can place a dress outline over an image to check it out or size the individual items inside?

I'd like to make a poster, an image, out much smaller ones. I don't know how they are called, but everybody knows them. Those smaller images are put together in a checkerboard-pattern. Together they form a big image, that you one see when you take some distance, look between your eye lashes.
My question is: Is there a photoshop-filter that can do this, or is it a stand-alone application? Where can I get it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Coreldraw for a few years now but I have never had a problem with scaling images. I created a circle and added some shapes to it. There is spacing between the shapes and the circle and they do not touch each other. When the image is at page size and it looks fine. But when I scaled it down using the shift key the shapes in my images touch the side of the circle and the spacing is gone. This is not what I want. There needs to be spacing between the shapes and the circle. I have included a sample of what I am talking about. How to make Coreldraw scale images properly?

(I just wrote a big post but for some reason when I tried posting it the forum logged me off and it didnt post so I wont get too detailed here.)
Basically I need to print the image for example using 9 piece of normal paper and stick it together with transperant tape to make a large image.
Is there a way to do this without the need to cut the borders on each page, I really would like to print borderless pages and not cut them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is interpolation when scaling images in Gimp? it is under quality. I see there are None, Linear, Cubic, & Sinc (Lanczos 3)... what are these and which one is the best one?? and does it matter which one e.g. are they all the same?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've imported an image into gimp, I then have imported another image using File open as layers.
Once this second image is imported it's obviously far too large, I want it to easily sit within the first image.
However when I right click > image > scale image it alter's both of them at once. It does this whether I have both images showing or not.
When I shrink an image, the result seems to be distorted.
I have an image 850x850.
I go: Menu > Image > Scale Image > and set height and width to 306 px
I get the same error no matter what scaling algorithm I use.
See images below, the one scaled by the GIMP has the black circle noticeable shifted to the right hand side. The white gap between the red and the black circles is 6 px on the LHS and it is 3 px on the RHS (measured at the widest part of the circles) . To compare, I have also scaled the image using another image manipulation program (IrfanView) - it scales it properly.

New Responsive Scaling feature is great.
It's enabled me to add an Edge Animate file to my responsive Wordpress site using the Edge Suite Plugin.
Only problem for me is that although the 3.7MB file I’ve created scales perfectly on all devices it struggles to play on smartphones. (I assume it's too big and too power hungry to play smoothly on smartphones - even since I've added a pre-loader.)
So, in an ideal world, what I need is a separate low res Edge Animate file that only plays on smartphones.
Failing that, I’d be happy with a 'Down-level Stage' image which could replace the Edge Animate animation.
For a moment I thought I’d found a solution when I came across this Adobe TV movie: [URL]
Unfortunately this clever solution only works when the new Responsive Scaling feature is NOT selected. As soon as it is selected, the animation no longer changes from one layout size to another when the browser window is reduced.
I don’t mind whether the fix is in Edge Animate, Wordpress or the Edge Suite Plugin - I just want a solution!
I have been given an incomplete plan view of a site with access roads and have been asked to extend the roads to meet up with a main road off site. Not having any survey points I figure the most accurate thing to do was to screenshot a Google map image, import it into my drawings and trace it. I'm struggling to scale the map image to my existing drawings.
The problem I'm having is when i click the image to scale, it obscures the view of the drawing, so I can't see anything to reference. Is there a way to make the image transparent? Or to have it permanently at the back.
I have used paint.net for small photo touch-ups of my daughters. But now I'm starting a small business and actually starting to use more tools.
I had our logo done by a graphic designer and to save on money I am doing the layouts for ads, flyers, business cards etc. When I copy our logo into a new layer it is super big compared to my canvas size. I cant seem to figure out a way to scale it down in ratio. When I click on the corners it allows me to scale down, but not to ratio. When I select image-resize (Ctrl+R) and do a percentage it cuts off portions of the logo or select by absolute size it wants to change my canvas size.
Scaling - for some reason the image get distorted after scaling. see example:
Each time I scale it'll do it differently. this time it made the right side thicker.
Alignment - the bounding box has offset and when aligning it doesn't align the objects right:
How can I determine if a placed image is scaled, and by what percentage?
