Thread: De-Pixeling?

Does anyone know how I can lessen the pixely effect on this nice picture of Master Roshi?



(Oh and how cool is that? MS Paint automatically chooses Jpeg in Vista)

I have Paint Shop Pro X2, Photoshop CS3 (I think) and the GIMP. (PSPX2 and PS are on Free Trial, incase anyone thinks I'm being a criminal.)

Resize it (downwards) until it's of suitable quality.

I meant without rezising it, I want to make a wallpaper ya see :/

Resizing is the only way to get a reasonable quality image and a wallpaper requires good resolution in the first place. You can blur or mask that image all you want but it won't gain enough quality to be a wallpaper.

The only chance would be to trace the image. Tracing the image sketch and then recreating it with all the colours, shading, etc., which goes beyond design and into drawing/illustration.

That's a good idea Merlock, thank you very much for the idea. ^_^

It will be fun, I'll probably do it on Thursday in Art when I go to college. I might just copy Slayer's idea and use a computer drawing program to colour it in or draw over me lines, but I'll add it to another layer and then delete the layer with my traced image in, so it will look like a computer sketch or something.

But as for the drawing in the first place: I'll do that manually with paper and pencil with some black paper. I don't know what it's called but it's an easy tracing method, and then I'll ask someone to scan it, I don't know about wallpaper sizes though.

But when I've finished it I'll post it in the Artists' Corner, maybie I'll post it in this thread, or make another thread to make it stand out. I don't know but I'll show it to you specially as a reward for giving me the idea.

Obviously you guys have no knowledge of how to use Photoshop properly!

Here you go man
