I am attempting to copy/paste screen grabs from Solidworks B+W tech drawings into CS2.
note: blank composite 8.5x 11 document is at 288 dpi for future pasteing
so far I have decent results , but looking for improvement
I have not found a satisfactory means to import at higher resolution (don’t have jpeg plug-in avail) and biggest artifacts are jaggies
here is the flow so far:
set SW to print preview for largest image >prt scrn copy PS: open new: set for clipboard 1152×864@ gray 72dpi
paste>crop @288dpi
image size: 576dpi/bicubic smooth
filter>brush stroke>accentuated edges @ w=2,b=20,sm=8 image>adj >levels: input = 150
image size : 288dpi
done
OR tried on orig size image>:
filter>stylize>diffuse>anisotropic
levels:input = 150
unsharp mask : 100/6/0
done
q: viewer sample images in both diffuse and unsharp above look better than final full size copy??
BTW where does "anti-alias" come into anything here? how can I apply at any step??
any suggestions greatly appreciated,
