Did you upscale the whale picture ?
The low quality is pretty apparent.

Yes, the picture is a low res web find and I have not yet asked permission to use it from the copyright owner. I will try to obtain a better quality original if possible. I hope I get the permission to use the picture, because this work is for a non-profit organization.

You can always try to find a better one with the options google provides for its image search.
Under 'Tools' there are filteroptions for size and copyrights.

Looks nice at small size, but at full size the whale image is very pixellated. If you want to make a big poster, you have to find a big image.

Another solution might be to find an image with water and blood, and another one with the fin of a whale coming out of water.
Same message but more choice of images.

There are lots of pictures with just the tail of the whale. On the other hand this is an authentic picture that shows a butchering of a whale. Are there any GIMP tools that I could use to increase the quality of the picture without spoiling it? I think I could zoom in and modify the edges of the whale manually pixel by pixel. And copy the skin tones from other whale pictures. But what can I do with the sea? Adding darker red pixels could make the picture more dramatic.

You should update your virus scanner, I recommend free Comodo and especially Adaware Antivirus Free. Hope this helps.

I use linux and slimjet browser so windows virus does not come into it. however: back to your poster Unless a good image is sourced, always going to be a problem, scaling up something tiny. Had a search around google images, and the best was tiny, a couple of hundred pix. What can you do, scaling up and tweaking might get you to around 1000 pix. That is still probably only half the required size for a poster and still not wonderful. Gets to here, big png 3.5 MB so posted: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=...enMLJ9rT0k What can you do to mitigate the awfulness? Make it into a feature: This has been half-toned using Gimp 2.9.9 newsprint filter. https://i.imgur.com/wDOFgxH.png There are other effects, just a suggestion. |
