Graphics people how do you make a Rastor image?

[OutHouse]

I have my company logo and its kinda blury when enlarged. i was told by a friend to convert my image a rastor image and at leaset 300dpi.

how do i do that?

link to logo.

It's already rasterized, you need it vector in order for it to not be so blurry when you explode it.

I don't know if PSP allows you to create vector gaphics; however, I would highly recommend Adobe Illustrator. You'll need to re-do the entire logo in vector format, but once completed, it can be infinitely scaled without losing any detail (well, assuming you don't make the logo too small).

You may want to consider simplifying the left hand side of the logo, but it isn't necessary.

damn, not as simple as "file save as" uh?

those muscle striations are going to be a b1tch. You sure someone doesn't have the original art somewhere?

there are specialized programs that will do the conversion decently with the right settings, but they have a learning curve in order to get decent results

Adobe streamline
Raster2Vector

+ several others I can't think of at the moment.

Frankly I'm surprised more people don't know about them...streamline and R2V have saved my ass numerous times on many projects.

Edit: there's also often a need for post-conversion tweaking in illustrator or other vector editor...and of course...the higher res you feed into the easier it is to get good results.

yes my nephew. he is in art school and did the logo for me for his portfolio. I didnt want to bug him but it looks like i will have to ask him to redo it.

He doesn't have to redo it, just rescan the orig at higher res or provide with a larger (or vector) file if it was done digitally. If it was for his portfolio, he's bound to have a bigger one around somwhere

Original vector file is preferable, as you can edit and/or create as many different raster versions as you like from it (sizes, formats, etc.). If not, you need a high-res raster (at least 300 dpi). Otherwise, you'll need to recreate the image in Illustrator or another vector app. Place the raster and use it as the ghost; once you have the general path, you can easily modify the nodes as necessary.

I have no idea what you just said. but i did copy/paste it for my nephew im sure it will mean something to him and maybe save him some time.
Thanks.
