4705.sample2.tifOur customers have given us some black and white .tif Monochrome Bitmap images at 400 ppi (see attached sample) and 600 ppi of some scanned black and white engineering drawings. Some of the small text on the drawings is not very legible because open areas are filled in with black. Some of the vertical and horizontal lines are ragged (digitized) on the edges. Is there any way that I can improve the visual quality of these Monochrome Bitmap images in Corel Draw (which I use) or Corel Paint (of which I'm not very knowledgeable, or adept)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

George

Hello George; the file needs to be posted not typed in! But you can "Trace" the bitmap and make it a vector for editing in CorelDraw. ( Once you have imported the file into CorelDraw look at the top menu for the trace and click on it, and you may have to play with the settings to get a good copy. )

These need to be re-drawn and re-typed for professional quality.... this is what you have when you zoom in:
