Hey Stever,
I'm having the same problem DTS had last week with my avatar coming out really pixelly when re-sized.

Help!

here's the pic:

...man, that's nasty! Is that something you scanned, or grabbed off the 'net somewhere? It looks way out of focus, more than pixelated. Software sharpening helps a little bit:




...smaller looks better, obviously...can you post or send me the entire original photo of Coretta this was cropped from? I love a good Photoshop challenge!

It's been photoshopped a lot (watercolor, paint daubs, etc,) so it is a little "blurry" (It prints really nice on watercolor paper!)

The problem was how pixelly it came out when I resized it. I hoped to have it about 2 inches wide. I'll email you the file that I use to print it as a greeting card.

Actually I don't need to send it. It looks better already - can you do it about 2" wide at no more than 32k ?

I need to remember to do a nice print of it for Coretta. I showed it to her about a month ago and she really liked it. I shot that from my seat in her rookie year.

OK, Here's what I got: 1.5"h x 2"w and 24k file size:

Wow! That looks nice!

Of course after you did all that work, I think I should probably leave it small - LOL!

(I'll try it out later)

One day, I should trek out to your neighborhood and have you edumacate me a little bit about all this computer drama...
