You can open it in Photoshop, specify the resolution you want, and it will "draw" the picture.

Think of a Vector graphic as having DNA. No matter the size it contains the blueprint on how to draw the picture, where to put the lines, where to put the colours.

The downside is vector art contains much less colour depth than normal artwork. In cartoons however, Vector is very popular.

Thank you so much with your help in this. I can see how this would be popular in cartoons. It still looks just as sharp as before I increased the resolution. If you don't mind me asking, how did you make a vector out of it? I'd like to know for future reference. Also, I uploaded a retina size to my original post and gave you credit :)

+1 for Calvin and Hobbes wallpaper.

Moor plz

I have the retina size of my Calvin and Hobbes wallpaper in my original post on the first page if you want it and haven't already resized it yourself.

My attempt for Alabama fans. I'm not sure how it'll end up cropping as you switch from portrait to landscape...

Someone who can beat me to it, tell me how this lines up on the screen. I'm planning to add the championship dates to it after it's tested out.

Anyone better than me able to blend this one without blowing it up too much? Like center the picture and make the edges that look splattered and stained fill up the rest of the image?

New one, this is not my design, the original creator is Sherri’ Hinckley at http://www.ririwillow.com (check her out, her work is amazing)

I just repeated it and smoothed out the background for the Wallpaper.

I'm usually not into designs that are this busy for Wallpapers, but i just thought this was a really nice design i had to try it.

I think it looks really nice as a lock screen.

Could one of you Photoshop wizards have a go at uprezing this great shot of the new Enterprise to retina quality?

Thanks in advance.

sorry mate, its not as simple as that, basic patterned images are able to be enlarged, but an image like this can't be enlarged without losing it's quality.

i tried searching for a larger version of the image but it only goes as far as 1080p

Not much i can do for you.
