I have a massive problem. Is there an easy way to pixelate something in Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop? Otherwise, i'm pretty much stuck in the mud.

Pixelate? You mean remove the pixelation from the source image? If so, I'm afraid its manual work, one pixel at a time

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Hi Grayfru,

If you're working on something with layers on you can make the pixelated image the bottom layer and draw your non-pixelated image on top on a clean layer.

Regards,
Adam

Sounds like you're making this hard on yourself. Sit back and take a deep breath, relax.

1) Look at your copy of Illustrator or Photoshop. Look in the toolbar for a tool to a) change the resolution to 96dpi. b) or export as a PNG. (It's been a while but as memory serves both options are there).

Then make sure you check the to see that the new drawing matches the scale bar on an existing SB template. Then double check.

2) Get copies of either Paint X Lite or Paintbrush. I believe those are the Apple equivalent to MS Paint. Export to one of those and do any needed cleanup of the drawing.

I had similar issues with my software...I use PC's and before SB only dealt with vector based software. Conversion to PNG can really screw up beautiful vector line-work. Over several drawings one can adjust drawing technique to speed things up.

3) It's already been suggested, open an account at Majorhost, Photobucket, or Deviant Art. You need one of those to host your images. All are simple to work with. THEN, look at the buttons just above the window we all type questions, etc. in on this site. All the tools you need are right here in those 12 buttons.

Lastly, suggestions that will make your time here more pleasant and productive.

Please stop creating new threads for every question. Add the new query to one of your existing CSS Savannah Threads. Start a new thread on your next ship.

Additional suggestion, use a Subject line that's specific, not something vague like S.O.S. (that's tells us absolutely nothing and in time will get you ignored or worse yet, attract some annoyed suggestions, comments, etc. from the more blunt members).
