Hi Resolution Chess Diagrams?

Hi,

I'm hoping some technical genius is going to help me here...

I can print a colour Chess diagram (black & white pieces on a walnut effect Chess board) with my Chess software (Shredder 8) but it's only about 140DPI...not sufficient quality for magazines etc.

I want to print some colour Chess diagrams in very high quality (minimum 300DPI)..has anyone got any ideas?

Apparently I can do the whole thing in Photoshop, but it sounds complicated, and rather longg-winded.

Will someone surprise me and explain a way it could be done simply?

Warm regards,

Mark

I'm not a wizzard, but what printer have you got. Most of the printers give you the option to choose which dpi resolution you would like to print.

Hey Slow 🙂

We've got a commericial 1200x1200 colour printer/copier/scanner at work.

I think it's the actual resolution of the Chess graphics that are the problem.

Cheers,

Mark

You might try making a screen capture of the board (press print screen) to the Windows clipboard and then try pasting that into your photoshop program. Then you can crop the picture out of the screen capture and print it. I've done this before with Paint Shop Pro.

Or paint is just as good.
