Improving an image

[BliarOut]

I have a globe that I use on my website



it's fine in it's current form for the web but I also want to use it on my stationery and the printers want a 300 DPI version. I can set the res to 300 DPI easily enough in Gimp but I can't easily find a way to smooth the curves out.

Any graphics bods feeling kind and could smooth it out/save it in a high res format for me please?

I can do it when I'm back home. Is tommorow evening too late for you ?

A combination of gaussian blur and unsharpen mask works ok in photoshop for this kind of thing.

No, that's absolutely fine and very much appreciated

Looks much better than my attempts

I'll blatt it across to the printer and see what they say.

Cheers Mark.

What size are you wanting the image to be when increased to 300 dpi?

[BliarOut]

It's only going to be 1.47 x 1.09 centimetres (56*41px) on the business card. It'll be a bit bigger on the headed notepaper but still not massive.

No worries Rob, I didn't realise it had to be so small but I increased the number of pixels so it should look good when it is shrunk a bit
