Kitty Soules Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Attached is an image I have found from Pink Floyd: The Wall. The original image was smaller, thus I resized it. Then comes the dreaded blur. I know there isn't anything you can do about the blur, but could anyone suggest some effects to make the blur unnoticable?

Daniels Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 One idea would be put some kind of personalized text in the foreground... Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowman Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Try to enlrage the original using 2D Image Filter plugin and choose HQ-3x or Eagle-3x. sometimes I get better results 2D Image Filter: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/24270-hawkynts-2d-imagefilter-library/ Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 When resizing up, your options are fairly limited. The data simply isn't there to make the image not look awful. Resizing up is like asking Paint.NET to reconstruct an entire book out of one chapter; you're not going to get a very accurate result. 1 Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Kitty Soules Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 When resizing up, your options are fairly limited. The data simply isn't there to make the image not look awful. Resizing up is like asking Paint.NET to reconstruct an entire book out of one chapter; you're not going to get a very accurate result. I know. I have mentioned there isn't much to do about the blur. But I was looking for an effect to somewhat distract you from it, or cover it.

I have tried both. So to say, it ended up slightly better than what I had. Slightly. Quote All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.

DrewDale Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Try using Sharpen (found in Effects > Photo) I have just tried it on a setting of 15 and it looks somewhat better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 A thick border would mean that you don't have to enlarge the original so much. How about fading out the image to a nice dark (black) border?

david.atwell Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ah, my fault. I thought you were looking to minimize, not distract. Apologies! :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos.
