Need photo help!!

[Xolotl]

I'm trying to make a shirt for my grandmother using my school logo. But, I do not know how to manipulate and enlarge photos to make it larger so it does not get pixelated when I put it on the shirt.

Please could somebody help me but removing all the black on the outside of the picture (past the white border surrounding the bird)? And, also enlarge it without pixelating it so that I'll be able to shrink it, or not even make it bigger without messing it up? Any help is appreciated thank you in advance.

I'm not sure if it's already to a good size to transfer to a shirt, I have no idea about dimensions and such.

Cropping the black out is easy. As for the enlargement 100% more is about the limit after that pixelation will show up and I would imagine it's still too small. Enlarging pictures without pixelation is only possible in Sci-Fi movie and CSI :D

Anyway here's a 100% enlargement without the surrounding black:

I appreciate the help Slomo...I knew that for a pro the removing of the borders would be easy....I couldn't figure out how to do it....It looks perfect now, thanks again

You're welcome.

[koriwhat]

you're better off making a vector image of the above... use adobe illustrator or similar to do so. if you don't know how to do such then hiring someone who does know how will do the trick but it can be costly.

Beautiful vectoring, kw. It looks absolutely sweet.

And he's right, an enlarged vector would be awesome. Your mascot is really, really well done!

[koriwhat]

^ thank you... sometimes i'm nice to you all, see. i give back. haha. would've been better but i didn't really want to spend a ton of time on a project i'm not getting paid for so that's the best it's gonna get.

to the OP, if you don't know what to do with that AI file i can make you an EPS and you can take it to any printer and they should know what to do with it. btw, how are you getting this printed? 1 color, 2 color, 3 color, 4 color, 5 color, 6 color, 7 color, or pressed?

one more thing, your school doesn't sell shirts of their own? that popped in my head 1/2 way through completing that image. i just thought it was a bit funny.

Very nice job Koriwhat.

Do you mind telling me which software did you use?

I'm a coreldraw fan myself, but I can use Ai if I have to.

Nice!

I don't have much time for my production these days, so I'll pass. Maybe something to do when I retire :lol

I actually won a couple of international underwater film festivals. One of them with the Key Largo film that's on the site.

My ex used to vector all the time like that in photoshop. It was insane. She barely used the mouse because she knew every keyboard shortcut.

Hey Slomo if you ever get off your dead lazy ass and want to make a serious film call me.

So you did it in Photoshop?

Even nicer! Photoshop is not the most friendly programme for doing these sort of things (although it can be done).

[Heat Miser]

I was able to make the background white but the bird looks a tad bit modified, is that ok?

i did it in adobe illustrator but it is very possible to do in photoshop as well with its vectoring tools. i just prefer illustrator for this type of work more than a raster imaging program like photoshop.

[baseline bum]

Damn koriwhat, that's some great work. :tu

^cool... i still prefer the old elbow greese method or click click drag point click click method.

there's also a quick trace and expand called live paint within illustrator but the results aren't all that eye catching. similar to that program above.

[koriwhat]

btw, mouse is that you? dynex... :)

you go to incarnate word?

Yeah she wants to go to the next football game since we have family playing on it, and I'd like to make her a shirt with his number. Thanks for all the help, and nice job on that too Koriwhat...it looks badass

I have two usb adapters ready to insert anytime I can get free wifi.

how come you never make wallpapers? and are you going to use your spurs tats this season? I may make a troll and say those legs are mine! :tu

Hey I need a software that allows you to lay a picture on a slant like in this photo.

i hope wherever i am going to move in the next week someone will have wifi i can mooch off for a bit. haha. damn i don't wanna move again! oh well. life is so.


how come you never make wallpapers?

i do but then i end up not liking them and delete them. it's a love hate relationship i have with my artwork. thank god i don't really draw on paper anymore because i used to do so many drawing that would take forever and then i'd just end up throwing them out when i was done. now all i have to do is "delete".


and are you going to use your spurs tats this season? I may make a troll and say those legs are mine! :tu

what? haha. i don't quite understand mouse. haha.

make a troll. it'd atleast give me something to laugh about around here.

the only thing i can think of is to purchase a heat press and print your art out and press it some type of fabric and stretch it over your frame. those heat presses can be gotten pretty cheap for around $100-150 at herwicks downtown or off the net. some are expensive though. the thing that will cost the most is the printer.

[Tenacious D]

He means to take a picture from the www and photoshop it on to the one above how do you lay it flat?

^ like i said... probably heat pressed onto some type of fabric and either stretched over the frame or just press right on to it. i have no idea though.

nevermind... i see now. i should stop skimming over stuff.

[koriwhat]

photoshop > perspective or free transform or free distort.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

TacoCabanaFajitas are you going to pass out your secret? :smokin

All you have to do is make a selection of the area you want to paste into and paste the picture you want into it, or as Koriwhat said you can get the image you want to put in the frame and free transform and distort

[mouse]

You must have SC3 or some of that good shit. I am still using 1999 paint shop pro it doesn't have all those features. I can only clone,erase,and crop. That is why my chops look armature, 2nd rate. I go after the humor not the perfection.
Hey Koriwhat you ever been to clubspurs they have a photoshop wallpaper section but you need to be logged in to view it.

let me download that CS4 to see if I can paste what you said. It's a huge file and I am only getting 11 mbs so I will get back to you cats around Friday?

btw, you can get the adobe suite off adobe.com trial software(faster downloading) and cough cough you know what to do from there. :)

[mouse]

I downloaded CS3 and it has more Icons than Tpark has empty sneaker bar wrappers under his car seat. You need a flipping GED to even figure it all out! Hey you ever use cool 3D studios?

i messed with cool3d back in the late 90's i believe just to see what it was. never really got into it though. i've always just been a photoshop person since version 3 back when i stumbled across it when i was like 14-15 yrs old.

btw, i only have a GED. :( hahaha

Hey Koriwhat do you do any computer art?

Like you did when you gave my last script to David Carradine? BTW how come I have not heard anything back from him? (people don't know he was your neighbor for years)
:toast


Dude have you ever seen what goes on in making a movie script? Hell it's easier to build a nuclear bomb. You need like three GED's for that shit!
I need a 3rd party who knows how to write it up I already have 8 for sure home run movie ideas that will make Steven Spielberg wet his Boxers.

Can't you make it happen for a 3rd of the profit?

Cropping the black out is easy. As for the enlargement 100% more is about the limit after that pixelation will show up and I would imagine it's still too small. Enlarging pictures without pixelation is only possible in Sci-Fi movie and CSI :D
