386583 2005-09-07 02:40:00 Hi there.

Ive a B&W bitmap image on the outline of NZ. Any idea on how I can smooth over the rough bitmap image to give it more curves? The image has no dead end lines, has a continous border/outline.

Ive PSP7, but can see a feature there that will do what Im after. Any program that will carry out this function?

Id like to carry smoothing similiar to what you can do in MS Excel/Graphs/Lines.

The files just 27Kb in size.

Thanks John in Mosgiel.

386587 2005-09-07 06:42:00 You can actually zoom in and select as many pixels from the outer part of the image as neccesary and blur them out and once you zoom back out to its normal size, it should seem better.

This is coming from my photoshop mind, I'm not too familiar with Paint Shop but maybe the concept is the same. :D

Arrgh, vicjalan, I'd read PSP7 as Photoshop. My bad, as you were, carry on all.

386592 2005-09-08 02:47:00 Here's my rendition, I've also uploaded a high res one to show you the possible results thanks to tracing with the pen tool, a feature of all graphic imaging software. Whats the pen tool? This is what the pen tool in Macromedia Fireworks (imagef1.x10hosting.com) looks like.
