I downloaded a border design which came in at just 32x30 dpi. Went to Bitmaps>Resample and changed size to 8"x10" resulting in a very grainy result. The pixels are everywhere. I set the Resolution at 300, but it didn't help. Do I understand correctly that if I upsize this download, I can't expect a sharp lines result? Is there a way to sharpen this project, or is there not enough pixels to give me the 8x10 inch size I need? Thanks!
Hi Brumble,
If it's a drawing of a border design, you may get excellent results with the upsample, blur, sharpen technique.
Below is a screen shot of the process.
1. Original -- 32 x 33
2. Upsampled to about 550 x 550
3. Blurred
4. Sharpened (I used the L curve in the Lab mode Curves dialog.)PhilPS: It doesn't work nearly as well with photographs.
