yep, as what enter said,
you can enlarge the picture, but it will result in a more blurer and pixelated picture

in fact, it's best that you NEVER resize your picture from small to big, if no choice, make sure its not bigger than 110% of it's original size, else you'll see weirdand ugly artifact/pixelation will come out.

solution : trace and make it vector,and enlarge it at any size you like
1. adobe illustrator
or
2. macromedia freehand

sample from me.. hehe.. quick trace.. not so cantik.. but if u trace it carefuly u lll get superb nice result... hehe

The tracing isn't that difficult. The best is to trace from the original before you resized it to that size.

Cheers.

thanks bro.....can u teach me so i can make one....!!!

hmm.....how...??

Learn up the Adobe Illustrator Pen Tool..

http://www.2ginc.com/tutorials/illus02.html

After you've done the tutorial and know how to control the Pen Tool averagely well, then do follow these steps.

1. File > Place (import the image file you want to trace.)
2. Double+Click the layer with the image and Check 'Dim images to 50%'.
3. Lock the layer with the image file.
4. Create a new layer above the layer with the image.
5. Start using the Pen Tool and trace.

The Pen Tool requires patience in learning but once you've got it, it's very handy especially in Illustrator.

uiks....hard to learn n understand lor.....
anyway thanks for the guide......

anymore guide to make it sharp...??

the simple way is using auto trace in CS2.. hehe.. but not so nice..

You mean the outline is not so nice, or is it because CS2 has livetrace tool, that's why it is not nice?

i mean the result la.. not so nice when u used livetrace.. better used pen tool.. hehe.. but some time i also used that tool.. but have to edit back la.. hehe..

ok la i think problem solve....
now i try using illustrator...so must learn step by step lor
i think with this i can do much thing hehehehe
thanks to all that give their ideas n suggestion....
specially thanks to enter, siaukia, etsuko & zeist....
