Well Loren, I'd say you're out of luck. No, you can't map the image and have 3DS resize it. I mean it would work but it will still look bad. It would be the same as resizing it in Photoshop or anything else. 3DS will typically make a resize look nicer than photoshop but not enough to compensate for what you're doing. Although I don't know much about it, and have never tried it, there is software available that's supposed to accomplish very nice resizing using fractal techniques. You may want to contact Iterated Systems about it. Or maybe someone else will have more info. When you're doing stuff for print keep the following in mind: You always want to produce work at the intended output resolution. LPI is normally 1/2 of the required DPI. So, if you want to print an image using a 133 line screen at 4×5 inches – you would need to supply an image that was 1064×1330 pixels. Your printer should be able to tell you the exact formula. Otherwise you could have someone recreate the image, depending on what it was, at the required resolution. Hope this helps. DM
