I was wondering if someone had or could make an imperial imblem, like the one Wong has on his site, but larger? I have this strange urge to have the imperial imblem on my desktop.:) Oh, and I've already searched this forum, used Google and looked through theforce.net, no luck.:(

Do you have a photo editor like PaintShop Pro or PhotoShop? If so, all you have to do is save the picture (right click, save as) and resize it on the editor, then sharpen it.

I have PSP 7, and while the thought did cross my mind, I figured the picture would be too pixeled if I enlarged it.

Edit: Ok, that didn't work to well. What should I resize the emblem to?

Enlarge, sharpen, enlarge, sharpen.....ugh. Painfully slow process, but it works, for the most part. :?

PS: I dunno if you saw already, but *bites the n00b*

Trace the logo with the pen tool and make a vector shape that you can resize

First off, are you the same Sardauker that posts at BlizzForums? Second, I don't exactly have the steadiest hand when it comes to tracing stuff.:P

Set xoom to max. That should give a lot of margin for error.

Man, that's weird, you have the exact same name as a person at another forum.

Sardaukar is not uncommon within groups of space nerds. It's from Dune.

Try to get a program that converts bitmaps to vector images. Here's a Google search result for "bitmap to vector"
Oh btw!
<POKE!!!>
