Shrinking image not losing quality

[FallenAnjel]

I have an 8 X 11 image that needs to be shrunk down to about 1" X 1" (it's being put on a poker chip). It's obviously not working.

I know the lines have to be thicker and/or darker so when they're shrunk they don't disappear.

I don't really use graphic's programs, but I know basics. Here is a copy of the image so you know what I'm referring to:

Thanks for any help.

hey.. its realy simple once you know what to do...

first load your pic onto PDN, then go to image/canvas size- anchor your pic centered, then change the width value to 1020 pix to match the height(turn off the maintain ratio box )

after this go to image/resize make sure the maintain ratio box IS checked and use the inches settings at the bottom to set it to 1"x1"

now to darken it, go to adjustments/curves and use thuis setting

and you get this

you might want to spend a bit of time cleaning up the image-- you will notice you can see the sideline and such

The printing company that will be making the poker chips for you will want the larger image. Let them do the scaling for you.
