#1 Myself wrote: This is for gimp. Plain, and simple. Ok, so I recently came across a problem when gfxing for my clan. I had that (below)---> for a clan symbol, and I realized that I couldn't make it any bigger without losing quality. I was wrong though. That symbol can be transformed into this (click it) in a measly three simple steps. After opening the small symbol: Step One: Grow the image itself. To do so, click IMAGE--->Scale Image... Now, I suggest you make it roughly 500-500, to 700, though whatever size you want should work. Before Step two, you should have something like This Step Two: Now what you're going to want to do is blur the edges up a bit, which will make the end result more clarified. I'd suggest just blurring it by 5x5 pixels. This is under FILTERS--->BLUR--->Gaussian Blur... Final Step: The Most Important Part!!! Now, what we're going to do it apply an unsharp mask to the symbol, which will make it very nice, and prim/proper looking. With this step, you can really just play around with the settings so it's how you like it. Here's just a sample setting that I applied to the one I'm going right now: Radius: 15.0 Amount: 2.50 Threshold: 25 Like I said, amounts may vary. This can be done by going: FILTERS--->ENHANCE--->Unsharp Mask... so, look at the difference here: into---> thanks for ready, and enjoy!

Thanks at everyone else as well! And @mikrent: It will work for all symbols as far as I know. You might have to adjust some settings, but it should still work with the three steps Click the last icon for My CC Showcase! Making low quality symbols HQ!

Simply Because the unsharp mask works with edges mainly, not details, so it wouldn't be able to restore clarity after it was gaussian blurred. If you had some lq looking vector renders or something though, this'd probably work to make them more sharp Probably wouldn't work on stocks either, just a note Click the last icon for My CC Showcase!
