JustWakinUp Report post Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) Wouldn't it be nice if you could enlarge your images over 1000% with no loss of image quality? How about taking a scanned postage stamp and turning it into a billboard? If you've never heard of anything like this take a look at a program called Genuine Fractals 5. You can read all about it and purchase it from onOne Software. For all you creative online folks i'm sure you can find it elsewhere.

Johanna Report post Posted August 24, 2007 That's interesting. With today's digital cameras, pictures are often taken in much larger sizes than necessary. I find I reduce more than I enlarge. (Hands up everybody that ever got a staggering 2 or 3 Mb pic from a well-meaning friend in an email?) I use Irfanview (which is free) more often than Photoshop. The monkey is a Photoshop whiz, and modest. (He did our banner.) Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Report post Posted August 24, 2007 There is also an animal out there called Gimp and it's free. It is really very good. Go here is you want to look it over: http://www.gimp.org/ It is multi platform and comes as source, but good news, there are compiled windows versions and runtime and docs here: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html Art Monkey did the LEATHER WORKER banner with the leather tools in it?Sweet....
