make a sig or a banner out of this piccy, therefore i'd like to increase width. i manage to enlarge the canvas to the left easily. problem is, i'd like that increased canvas to be same colour as the background of the picture; like snow 'n storm stuff.
how do u do that ? i had a look at the clone stamp and the other tools, but it looks like really stupid the way i use them....
I have a .gif image made up of a few lines and some text, when I import the image it is 8.5in x 11in. I want to enlarge the lines and the text but keep the whole image size at 8.5 x 11, how do I do this?
Question 2. Also the lines of the image are thick and bold is there an easy way to make this lines thin and not so bold?
I am trying to enarge an image to read some text. I am using the transform tool to make the image bigger, but the text blurs together. The image file is very small.
I've got a sewing pattern that was drawn by hand. It's larger than a standard sheet of printer paper (maybe 14"x20" or so). I scanned it in two pieces and matched those up, then used the pen tool to trace around the original pattern and stroked the path. Now I need to reduce the whole thing in such a way that if someone else were to download the file and enlarge it by the same amount (or trace around it with X amount of added space all around) it would match my original pattern. (Gee, does that make sense? I hope I explained it right.) I have tried changing the image size, saving it as a new file, and then opening that new file and enlarging the image size by the same amount I reduced it, but when I print it (just allowing the lines to go off the edges of the paper since it's too big), it doesn't match my original.
So currently I have an image that I'll be using as my background for a wallpaper, however the dimensions of the image is 2100x1184, and the final dimensions of my wallpaper will be 2880x1800. Therefore I need to re-scale the image so that it's bigger. Now knowing that I can't do that without loss of quality, I've decided to instead "add" stuff to the image such that it looks larger. Eg. expanding the sky, adding additional buildings.
I've tried using the patch tool, but it doesn't let me add to the space outside of the image (my canvas is 2880x1800, and the empty space is transparent).
I'm wondering, is there any tools/techniques for accomplishing what I'm trying to do? Or even better, is there another method of enlarging the image without loss of quality?
how to increase the size of a picture without it getting too pixelated to identify what the image is. The problem I am having is I had to take a screenshot of a picture online and I need to identify specific wording on a small item in someones hand. I tried clicking on resize image and unchecked re-sample image but that is not working either.
How can I increase my work space (the photoshop file open) ? I've tried Image > Image Size but when height or width is changed, the whole picture is enlarged to fit into the new size.
I would like to keep the image and simply add 200px to the bottom of the file, is this possible?
I have a .png image that is 38 pixels wide and 30 pixels high. I would like to enlarge this image to 64 x 64 pixels and also 100 x 100 pixels size, but when I try to do this, the image becomes blurred. The file image is attached. It's a hamburger.[/color]
I am growing increasinly frustrated. I just installed AutoCAD LT 2013 on my laptop. I managed to get everything customized the way I want, except the button icons on my (classic) toolbar are much too small. If I go into the menu and select 'use large icons', they are too huge. My screen resolution DOES NOT need to be changed or adjusted. I went to the help menu to see what I can do, and found that I can go into CUI and adjust the size of the button icons that way, via the button image editor, however there is no 'button image editor' dialog box when I select any given toolbar command.
I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.
I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.
I am using my CS2 on OSX and when I view the image in a full screen mode the color around the image is grey, well it used to be grey but it is blue now. How do I change it back to neutral grey?
I have to enlarge quite a few high-res images for a catalog project. My rule of thumb has always been 120% of actual size max and I'm still safe.
However, the client wants some images to cover spreads, which would force me to blow those pics sometimes past 200% of their actual size.
I called the printer who's printing the job to get their thoughts on fractiles software and they said that they typically go to 200% of actual size with little or no pixilation/degradation. I find that hard to believe...
I've got a pic of...say...my son. I place a pic of a transparent CD on a layer on top of the son. I select the cd (that is a circle selection...) and I now want to sort of magnify what shows of my son within that selection...
I found a picture that I would really like to use as my wallpaper, but the problem is that its resolution is 1024 x 768. My desktop's resolution is set at 1680 x 1050 and when I try to have set it as my wallpaper in stretch mode, it's a little bit blurry. Does anyone know how I can enlarge it in photoshop and keep it looking sharp?
I've got some renders from Cinema 4D that I want to use for a banner at school. The problem is that the renders are all 1024x768, and the banner is something like 3 ft by 6 ft. How can I make these pics big enough to use on the banner without the losses in quality that come with stretching an image? I've tried simply blurring them, but there are some layer styles used and those don't blur. What should I do?
I have an image that is (1920 x 1273)px at 300dpi. The final image will need to be cropped down to (175 x 190)px at 72dpi.
When I crop it and lower the dpi it gets very small. Too small for how I would like to use it. I would like for the individual to be the focal point of the image and be large enough for easy viewing int the (175 x 190)px image size. So I was thinking I could enlarge the image starting at its original quality, especially since it is at 300dpi and then crop it and lower the dpi. But that does not seem to deliver a larger size image either.
This Q must be very old. Why can´t someone invent a sigle button for this I have tried all the things by the book but still when I try to lay text image with white background over an image the white is still there althoug I made it transparent. tried to sa for web as png-8, png-24 and gif. nothing works. To use magic wand gives bad result when applied to text? So what can I do? I am trying to place text over image. I know I could write it over the image but I need the text as a transparent layer some place else.
You know how you can deselect a path "layer" (for lack of better word) in the Paths palette by clicking in the empty space of the Paths palette? What if your Paths palette has so many saved paths that there is no empty space to click in?
I know I can just extend the palette, but I don't want to have to do that, because all my palettes are tightly organized into a Giant Wall o' Palettes on a second monitor. Is there a way to hide all paths without having to extend the palette to reveal empty space?
how do i get the effect of a super big head ( not by liquify ) with a small body of a person in a complicated background? i do know selection methods using extract tool, but i need to maintain the resolution whilst upsizing the head, and if i downsize the body, there's no background to go with.
I searched for this topic here, but everything I found was at least a couple years old, so I thought I'd see what the current consensus is. I'm printing out a bunch of pictures for framing, and some of my older ones were taken with Powershot S60. There's the cliche that it's not the equipment, it's the photographer, but that's not true if you want to blow up a 5MP shot to a large format.
I've tried the repeated 110% scaling technique (with and w/o bicubic sharper) with an Unsharp mask after it, and it seems to work pretty well up to about a 4 steps. There seemed to be contradictory comments on here as to whether any specialized plug-ins such as Fractal..something or others provide a genuine benefit. Any advice?
I've got an urgent fix to do for some CD artwork, sadly I am far from being a photoshop guru and I don't have time to send it back and get it redone.
Basically, I have a load of text spiraling inwards towards the center of the disk but it ends up a bit too close to the center. I need to enlarge the hole in the middle without distorting the text too much.
My first thought was to try the Filter/Distort/Spherize effect and indeed this does make the hole proportionally bigger but it also makes the text near the edge much smaller than the text near the center.
I need some kind of radial or spiral transform/distortion that will maintain the proportion of the lettering, although roughly would be fine, it doesn't need enlarging very much.
Took a photo over skype. It was very tiny, I suppose because the person I did Skype with was using and Iphone. I would like to enlarge it but it gets fuzzy and pixelates.
