Challenge - To enlarge a 16 x 9 inch digital file into a life-size 17 foot X 8 foot wall mural without extreme pixelization.

Solution - Alien Skin Blow Up, Alien Skin is a plug-in for photoshop that claims “four times (1600% area) enlargements from any image without jagged artifacts or halos.”

In this enlargement we pushed plug-in far beyond what was thought possible. The below enlargement is 136 times the size of the original image. Nit pickers may notice some degradation but there is no where near the degradation normally seen in extreme enlargement such as this.

Our hats are tipped to the developers at Alien skin for allowing us to push the boundaries in large format mural.

I hear magnets have deep healing powers capable of curing ills such as stress, tension, and poor blood circulation.

Here at Hi Rez Digital Solutions we use the mystical power of magnets to provide a rock solid seal to seams in our large format display pieces such as the game board we recently produced for a local casino. The challenge here was to create a rigid five foot square board that could be collapsed in half. Our structural design team came up with the following solution: The top grid of the board is actually one huge magnet that spans the seam that runs horizontally. Once affixed, the board becomes completely rigid. Its integrity is so strong that it takes two people to break the board down.
