Small & grainy

[Overfifty]

Good morning. I'm usually successful in creating patterns with decent photos but smaller, pixilated photos leave me frustrated. Any suggestions? Thank you, Barry.

Hi Barry.

              Well that's a good question, I suppose it depends on the picture and what software you use and the ability of the person doing the job not much help I'm afraid.

Right, that would be GIMP and Inkscape. Thank you.

It's hard to pull detail from small pictures.  Most of the time I won't even bother if the picture is too small.  Typically, you'll need a larger scan with higher resolution.

You could probably get away with using Delta Cad on it, you manually trace the lines of the image. Folks in our group generally use Delta Cad for intarsia patterns
