Re: Web graphics to printable graphics

Here are the two enlargement tips that I've heard:

For enlargement, you are going to get a blurry image
which you can fix a little (no maricales, but
improvement) with Unsharp Mask (try 150%,1,10 or
65%4,3).  Make sure you use Unsharp Mask last in the
editing!

[Note: Photoshop 4 is dramatically better at
enlargement than Photoshop 3]

If it's basically a line art graphic, you can bring it
into Adobe Streamline and (attempt to) recreate the
image. If you don't have $125 to blow, you can "trace"
the graphic with the pen tool.

Combinations of these methods work sometimes.

There are other methods too, but these are all I know.
