With the recent release of the “original” Star Wars Trilogy turning out to be nothing more than a non-anamorphic transfer to DVD, I stumbled across the X0 Project.

From the website:

The XØ Project has been created by four highly-motivated and experienced Star Wars fans to document our efforts to make the highest quality LaserDisc-to-DVD conversion of the Original Trilogy the world has ever seen.

I’ve been working on a poster for a band I am in I wanted to blow it up for a playbill poster, but I knew that it would get pixilated at the magnified resolution. What I needed was to vectorize the image. I thought I’d have to trace the entire image by hand, but then found this program called POTRACE. POTRACE took my BMP image and quickly (and accurately) converted it to a SVG file….no problems at all.
Rockin.
