so i want to blow up this picture.

I know if i keep it in photo format, its going to look like shit and be all pixelated…

It can be made to look like a sketch, tiles (mozaic), black and white, etc etc… i dont care, i just dont want it to look like garbage… ideally its going to go into a large frame 30x24? or so (whatever size frames come that large without having to be custom done…) … anybody want to try to help me out or give me some advice id appreciate it.

Can it be done?

need a bigger resolution picture other wise itll just get more pixelated

i can turn it in a vector drawing and blow it up if you want

I’ll do it quick and show you what it will look like and if you like it I can e-mail you the file.

I can mess around with the shapes and roundness of the color blotches too. Can go either more picture like or more painting like. But the more picture-like you go, the more it just looks like a blurry photo. Can be resized infinitely.

That looks worse than actually pixilating it by blowing it up.

actually it looks better, I tried both.

well right now the image is roughly 8 x 11…so you’ll need to multiply it by 4ish.

hmmm what if u did it and turned it into the “sketch/drawing mode” maybe black and white only…

you ask the internet, and not me.

jeezus, im never come down there

It looks sooooo much better than if it were pixilated.

DEAR SCOTT… can you please help me… <3

Scott, i know youre far to busy with the AMG, the ladies, your job search in florida, and that adorable/manly pup of yours… i wouldnt want to impose… but if you have time… <3

It’s a vector file, you can scale it to any size with no distortion.

I’ll mess with it and post up what I get. Can’t you just get a higher res picture from the photographer?

edit: its just going to look stupid as a"sketch." Tried it a few ways and nothing looked good enough to mount on a wall.

personally I might just go with something like this if I had to have something and couldn’t get a better image. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/bike.jpg

rasterbate?

?

Both look sweet. Definitely a better outcome than blowing it up and being pixelated.

anyone else care to take a shot at it… i really enjoy those too… i wish it was taken with a hi-res camera… i’ll have to try to dig up the original… its definitely not on the computer though

that is a pretty out of focus picture to blow up much. you don’t have the original?
