Although PhotoShop Elements for $90 bucks is well worth it if you intend to fiddle with images.<BR/><BR/>I can't remember if you were a Mac person or not, but GraphicConverter is an excellent Mac shareware alternative for this sort of thing. There's probably a PC equivalent that can do resizing.

Clare ...OK, I don't have Photoshop. Do I need it? Clare over at Eat Stuff was kind enough to do my banner for me, and I wasn't able to get a jpeg myself, so she sent it to me. I tried taking that and shrinking it in Word (using the Avery templates for business cards), and, of course, that didn't work. Should I get Photoshop? What else could I use it for besides this? I hate to just but it for this one small thing, you know? Gotta justify my purchases. ;) In the meantime, thanks all for your help!Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301210229326791245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1134331745773120312005-12-11T12:09:00.000-08:002005-12-11T12:09:00.000-08:00How are you recreating your banner?

You're not doing a screen shot are you?<BR/><BR/>Recreating the banner in a layout program will give much better results (especially with text).<BR/><BR/>If not, and you're using something like Word to place the banner as a jpeg, make sure you're constraining the proportions when resizing. Also, you are always better off resizing the file in Photoshop to the final size used on the card.<BR/><BR/>Change the resolution not the pixel size. In other words, change the resolution from 72 to 150, and leave the pixel dimension at the original size. The document or print size will decrease, but the resolution will increase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1134321871620928602005-12-11T09:24:00.000-08:002005-12-11T09:24:00.000-08:00you don't want to shrink it to the actual size.

You want to keep it as high res as you can then merely print it at the size you require.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081680210434938456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-1134318200382353072005-12-11T08:23:00.000-08:002005-12-11T08:23:00.000-08:00Whenever I've had business cards or stationary mad...Whenever I've had business cards or stationary made, I've used Adobe Illustrator.
