I hope that this is the right group for a question like this. I have hundreds of ".JPG" images that I have created at resolution 1024×768.
I have created most of them with Photoshop and its plugins. I chose this resolution because it is a very popular one, and I just wanted my images to be used by the users on their computer screens. I have now become aware of the fact that these images can be considerably increased in size, without much loss, if we turn them into vector graphics and then scale them to the appropriate sizes. So, I have tried Xara Xtreme Pro on a couple of them and got surprisingly beautiful reproductions in VECTOR format.
Now, here is my question.
I have a Photoshop created ".JPG" image. I load it to Xara and convert it into a VECTOR image.

(1) How do I double the size of the vector image on Xara?

(2) How do I export it to Photoshop for further artistic/repair work? Should I save it as a ".PSD" file?

Any other suggestions you might have would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you!

Are you certain it’s a vector graphic? Really?

Maria,
(1) How do I double the size of the vector image on Xara?

Select the entire vector image and type in 200 as the % in the dimension box near the top of the screen.
(2) How do I export it to Photoshop for further artistic/repair work? Should I save it as a ".PSD" file?

From the menu File/export/tif and make your dpi and size selections. Save as tif or psd.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Cindy
