increasing DPI

[ttedder webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hello everyone-

I have a company logo that DESPERATELY needs to be better quality. Does anyone know how to achieve the absolute best image quality (put aside file size, it doesn't matter)?? How do I increase the DPI of an image?

Thanks for your help.

I don't know how to redraw in vector format.
I don't know what a raster image is.

Hi Ttedder,
To redraw in vector format, you would have to re-create the logo in FW. A
raster image is a bitmap, (like .bmp, .gif, .jpg) that is defined by its
pixels (like this pixel is yellow, this one is blue, etc., as opposed to the
vector format (which FW uses in its drawing tools) whereby each line is the
result of a mathematical projection. The significant difference in formats
in this case is that vector images can be made larger without quality loss,
and raster images cannot - they will get blocky.
Aloha,
Jerry

Then you'll have to learn, or hire someone to do it. ;o)

If you want to learn yourself, grab a copy of Illustrator or Freehand and
dive in. It's not too hard.

A raster image is one made of pixels. So, a photo, for instance, is a raster
image. Scanned artwork would be raster.

A vector image is one made up of lines and points. Freehand creates vector
images.

The advantage of vector artwork is that you can resize it to any size and
still retain crisp lines.

Hello! Just an addition to the helpful and encouraging advice you have
received from others. To begin, you can definitely find helpful advice on
these forums. The answers *may* even be able to help you do what you need.
However, if at this point you are unfamiliar with vector drawing and what a
raster image is, I suggest you save yourself time *and* money and just hire
someone to do you logo for you. They can probably whip it out in a few
hours or less, depending on what the logo is.

Just an option to keep in mind and save yourself a lot of frustration. ;^D
