| Jul 14, 2014 at 20:52 | comment | added | lawndartcatcher | You could try scanning it in at something ridiculously high like 600 dpi, then resizing it in Photoshop down to 300 dpi but keeping the same pixel count (in other words - scan it in at 600 dpi; you end up with something like 4960 X 7016 pixels. Resize it to 300 dpi, but keep the actual pixel size at 4960 x 7016. You will now have an image that's larger than A4 but contain the same number of pixels. Since A3 @ 300 dpi (still probably fine for creating screens for t-shirts) is 3508 x 4961 you can scale and crop to get to A3 size from your original scan. | |

The main thing is that I want that handdrawn feel so it is either expanding my A4 drawing or starting again with A3 and need to know whether expanding an A4 page to A3 on Photoshop can work. Apologies if this sounds confusing! | |

If it's silkscreening you may have issues if you start using large numbers of colors or subtle fades. One of the nice things about doing things as a vector illustration is that you're forced to look at how your shapes are filled and how many colors you're using. | |
