Title: Portrait from photo
Post by: PaulK on December 08, 2012, 02:53:22 pm

Hi, I would be very grateful if anyone can help with a pattern from the attached photo which is very low resolution, for which I apologise. This is a present for a 5th wedding anniversary if I can get a workable pattern.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks - Paul

Paul, Your photo is much too small to make a worthwhile pattern. If you have a bigger/better photo I will be happy to give it a shot.

Don and other pattern folks - is it easier/better to work off of color or B&W?  What is a minimum size you would like to see to make a pattern?

I also tried ,Paul but like Don said way to small picture :)

Don will be able to give a correct size ( that information will be very helpful to me as well) and I think B&W or color does not matter and I read somewhere that a 300 dpi should be fine.

Thanks to those who kindly replied to this topic. I did wonder if anything could be done from such a small and poor photo.
Will try and get a bigger, higher quality 300 dpi photo and then cpme back to the forum.

Thanks - Paul

Bigger is always better, 300 dpi or larger should be fine. B&W or color makes no difference. The subject should be in focus and the picture should have decent contrast although the contrast can be adjusted during the process.
