    I need some help with a logo I've got these IMGs but my sticker people said the quality is not good, so the stickers will be poor.

    Can somebody help make better quality pics please.

    The final logo is the skull getter crushed.






    Not sure it's possible with the pics given

    Thanks in advance

    You could use inkscape to recreate these images at a better resolution relatively easy using the trace function.

    Have a look on youtube there's plenty of tutorials.

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)

    relatively easy
    How easy is 100% dependent on the users skills, and their familiarity with Inkscape.

    Same is true for Photoshop. I am a photo freak and very familiar with it but to do what the OP wants to do is a very time consuming job I would not do free of charge. The images need a severe cleaning up and a lot of other work, basically it is much faster to redraw everything from scratch. Of course, just resizing is not an issue, takes only a few seconds, but the images are really very low resolution, severely compressed images, so they are full of pixelation and other artefacts. Also, I would not do anything on them unless I was sure the OP had the copyright for these, and if he has then I wonder why does he only have this bad quality.

    Cheers guys but I've now got this done, or in the process of getting it done from scratch.

    The imgs are on google from ALX is an engine builder and so is RCmax.

    No copy rights needed I don't think purely because the rcmax logo is just a modified google skull and ALX as given me permission to use his.

    Cheers

    You really want them redrawn as some form of vector (i.e. in Illustrator not Photoshop), as then you can resize them as much as you want, and not lose any detail.

    Photoshop can do everything you want or might need to do with any photo. I am talking about the pro version I am using, not the free one they include in every scanner and many cameras. The free version is really just a joke.

    Morning was bored so I converted the images to vectors, this morning in inkscape using standard settings took 5 mins for all 4. I saved the images at 300 dpi but I also included the .svg files which are resolution independent so you can generate any dpi.

    Now these would need some post processing but I spent literally 5 mins on them, they're simple bitmap traces. Load the image in inkscape, click on the image so it's highlighted! Then select from the drop down menu path -> Trace Bitmap.

    From there you can preview the effect.

    I like the last skull which was done by playing with the settings in Trace Bitmap, make sure you then save it as a .svg the printers should be able to process an SVG but if not you can export the picture to a PNG just make sure you have the right DPI when saving the image.

    You should get on inkscape and play, Youtube is full of tutorials for Inkscape including trace functions and it's open source (Free) so there's really not any excuse not to.

    Nice work Desertboy. I opened skull rcmax.svg and it really is very nice. Yes, some cleaning is still to be done but the OP should be able to do it without much effort. Never tried Incscape but will definitely have a look at it, at least for this sort of work.
