Son of Spam Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I've scanned some of my old Yearbook portraits for a project I'm working on. These are, as you can imagine, those small, black & white yearbook photos that are arranged in rows alongside your fellow classmates whose last names start with the same letter as yours. Naturally, these photos are rather tiny. So I used PDN to resize them to appear larger. Unfortunately, what I end up getting is a recognizable photograph of a younger me, but there appears to be a "checkerboard" effect whereby the horizontal lines appear purplish-blue against a grey background while the vertical lines are somewhat faded. I'm assuming this is clearly because of the fact that I had to resize said photo by several hundred percent. Nonetheless, I'm wondering if there's any way to get rid of that checkerboard effect. Thanks. Quote Beware The Lollipop Of Mediocrity... Lick It Once And You Suck Forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 "Checkerboard" is a term usually used for something else around here ... can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing so we can get a better idea of what's going on?
