Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to make an image bigger without it distorting ?? I'm trying to make an image that is sized @ 110x110 to at least 800x800 is there any way or would i have to make a whole new image ?. Thank you.

No, unless you happen to be very good at black magic ;)

wow :) you'd probably be able to scale it to like 150% with minimal distortion but 800 * 800 will just be to bigger transformation - soorry :(

what image is it?? there may be possible fixes like hunting down single object and then put them all in together.

I would suggest making it a vector image and then you can scale it all you want. You could try making it in illustrator or just go into flash and use the trace bitmap option. Good luck!

If you know anything about vector graphics this should be easy. Have you ever used Adobe Illustrator?

This is very feasible in Photoshop itself, using the pen tool and proper fonts.

If you have photoshop, Extensis makes a great plug-in called pxl SmartScale that allows you to blow an image up (quite well too) up to 1600% of the original size. They have a free trial downloader if I'm not mistaken that you can grab. Just check download.com or extensis.com for details.

If you have the newest version of Illustrator (CS2), it has a wonderful feature called "Live Trace", which allows you to vectorize any imported graphic without very much brainpower. Don't have the newest version? - There are third party programs that do the same thing - just search for vectorize at your favorite software download site.

Hope this helps
