Need help with graphic editing

[tecnowraith]

I am looking for someone who is good in graphics editing like editing pics and making them in high quality. I was given permission from an artist edit his pics. Can anyone with the knowledge to edit this pic: http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/1/43777/642135/Tron_11_905.jpg and make them individual pics? Thanks

You just want somebody to cut those squares into individual images? That's insanely easy, if a bit tedious.

Open up your editor of choice (you can even do this in MS Paint), use the Selection tool to select a square, then hit Ctrl-C, create a new file, and hit Ctrl-V. Save. Repeat.

Or, use the Selection tool and use the "Crop to selection" option. Just remember to save it to a new file name - don't overwrite your original file.

But to make them a bit a bigger and high res or sharper image is a bit tough. I tried using GIMP with it was able to do only one pic the way I like it . The othere are all blurry.

Maybe someone with more skill than me would know how, but it's nearly impossible to enlarge a picture without pixilating it.

I'm sorry, but something about this sounds very strange. You have permission from Chris Glenn, artist responsible for creating Tron Evolution concept art (http://www.cglenn.com/#642135/Tron-Evolution), to modify his images, but he can't/won't provide you with anything higher in resolution than the stuff he released on his website? He can't/won't even provide you separate images from the collage? Would it be too nosy of me to ask just what does this permission entail, and what you are using the images for? And how it is he gets this permission of his past the Mighty Disney?

In any event, enlarging raster images pretty much always results in a loss of quality. Not a whole lot can be done about that. ISTR a Photoshop plugin of some kind that can mitigate the loss, but it's not free.

The art on his site is copyrighted by Disney yet he said "use what's on my site and have fun, as long as it doesn't get posted online or printed and solid or anything crazy." and the only thing I wanted to is enlarge the smaller pics and make them individual pics. I am just using them to reference them as NPCs for my TRON campaign. I even posted a request for free character art on here for TRON characters but no replies.

Merkuri and Marius are both right. You can't get more information out of less information. There are programs which can enlarge pictures the way you describe, but even they have limits to what they can achieve, and even then they are only guesstimating what the picture might look like.

Besides, if he did give permission for their use I'm guessing that the reason for that is their lower quality.
