Grainy Images in Inkscape

Post by curlycreations »

Hi y'all!

I'm new to this whole "Inkscape" thing...usually I just cut letters or words in SCAL, but I'm working on a special project for my dad and brother who are firefighters. If I have an image on my computer and open it in Inkscape, how do I make it bigger without making it grainy? When I try to enlarge it, it becomes pixelated and distorted...I'm pretty sure there's a way I could enlarge it without this, I just don't know how!

Thanks! :)

When you enlarge it and do the trace image then go path/simplify which reduces the number of nodes..
