I've done numerous successful lithos, but for some reason I'm having a terrible time with my daughter's wedding photos.
I spoke with the photographer (the new son-in-law's dad) and he said the camera produces pics in RAW format and he converts them to JPEG.
I've tried using the JPEG and I've also converted them to PNG and tried that way, same effect. I've brought them in as 10mb pics and then again at 187kb and several sizes between with no difference noticed.
The pics look great, but when I bring them into Designer 2.004 or .005 either one, and zoom in, my daughter looks like a chipmunk! Depending on the pic, the distortion goes away if you blow it up to between 18 and 24 inches long, but who the heck wants to make a litho That big???
I didn't notice this until I'd carved the first 5x7 and it came out horrible!
I'm attaching one of the pics I've been using, in case someone wants to download it and put it into Designer and see what I mean.
What the heck? Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated! Thx, Lee
