pour bleeding me Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 how do i put the DPI up? and what will this do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAI6 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Photoshop will work, but you need to have the DPI high. (that's the resolution... the higher the number, the more "detail" will be preserved). Also, keep in mind, with a raster file, if you enlarge it, you lose resolution. If you create a file at 300 DPI, and then enlarge it to 300%, you just reduced the actual, final resolution to 100 DPI. Illustrator allows you to enlarge your image file without losing detail, as it is vector based and "re-draws" the image for any size you output it at. It also comes down to how you are going to output your logos. If you are doing it like discussed in several threads on this board (outputting it at home, using a regular printer), it doesn't really matter if your art is vector or raster. Just keep in mind to keep that DPI cranked in Photoshop! Enjoy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveq Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 If you use Paint Shop Pro, use the antialias feature - it will help smooth curves for you. I'm not an expert on it but I have used it with some success in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 How much do those programs cost, and how easy is it to learn how to use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAI6 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Both Photoshop and Illustrator (manufactured by Adobe...) will cost you several hundred $$$$$$ each. But it's good stuff. I guess you pay alot for industry standard...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Headen Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 cough....dial up...cough. I guess if I really wanted to go that rout I could go to one of my friends' house download it and burn it on a CD...I actually did look for it on KazaA yesterday before I posted that, and they were both over 100 megs....that would take me hours...If I could find one that went a decent speed (mind you it's dial up, so the fastest I go is around6.5 kb/s). Anyway, what is the software like? I was figuring it was just CAD, but for that much...Also, must have quite a learning curve (I don't guess that's really a big deal though).

Hotrock Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 I suppose you could probably do it in CAD. Probably not the best program, but possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAR Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Photoshop isnt really anyhting like Cad proggies. It does sooooooooooooomuch more than line drawing. This is a car at work. (I sell Cars) This is the modified version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeAR Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 They used to say a picture doesnt lie....................well now with photoshop you cant believe anything that you see. Its also great for taking blemishes out of pictures, restoring old photos..........oh and putting the head of some chick you know on a naked body and emailing her the results. You wouldnt think I was 29 would ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 how do i put the DPI up? and what will this do? To print without seeing any pixels or steppyness, you'll want your file to be 200-300 ppi or pixels per inch (always incorrectly referred to as DPI - DPI is a totally different thing used measure printer performance) To do this in Photoshop, you'll need to start at this resolution, so unfortunately, you may have to start over from scratch. Launch Photoshop, and open a new file (File > New). In the dialogue box that comes up enter the size in inches you'd like to use in "Width" and "Height" and enter a resolution of 300 pixels/inch. Then make your logo and print it out at the highest quality setting your printer is capable of. If you don't want to redo your logo, you can TRY enlarging your file, but you may get a blurry or jagged image: Launch the image size dialogue (Image > Image size). Make sure the boxes called "Constrain Proportions" and "Resample Image" are both checked, then change the "Resolution" number to 300 and click OK -Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
