Hi guys n gals,

I am re-working a website for a childrens cancer charity and have a 460x497 gif image that I would like to resize to about 100x100 for the logo. I have done a normal resize (presently being used) but there is a serious loss of quality and I was wondering if it is possible to convert the image to a scaleable format?

If it can be done, is there anyone who would be prepared to do it? I don't really want to fork out huge amounts of money on a programme I'm likely to use only once.

The image can be viewed at http://www.fatboyscharity.co.uk/originals/fatboys.gif

Thanks for any help and advice

CB

Try http://delineate.sourceforge.net/

I managed to get it to 100x100 px without much quality loss.

Wouldn't it help if you opened the file in Photoshop, saved it as PSD file then opened that and resized?

Corel trace does a pretty good job with black and white images. Even when using minimal complexity and node reduction I feel the number of nodes is excessive but you do get a good vector you can resize.
