Hi,

I am working in an image that has a drawing with thin white lines over a dark background.

When I shrink the image, the white lines disappear. I would like to know how to thicken the white lines, so that it doesn't disappear when I shrink it...

Thank you,

Robson

Hi,

The image is attached now. I want to make an icon out of it. The image of the icon that I have got so far is attached too. This icon was achieved programatically through C#, so I guess it is messing it, there is even a loss of color.

So I would like to do everything in Photoshop, to leave it ready to be an small bitmap with 24-bit color and all the white lines...

The pen tool would work best to trace over the line. Then stroke with it a larger brush to make the outline bigger, and therefore more visible when you shrink the image.

Do your work on a new layer so you can erase areas as needed and add color shading, etc.
