I 100% agree that rescaled bitmap will almost always be an ugly bitmap and certainly needs to be fixed, but IMO it is a crazy idea to fix such problem with manual pixel-wise tuning. This something machines should do while rendering vector input, otherwise it will be a pure waste of energy that will never scale.
- alayne 14y agoYou won't get away from tuning of some sort so it's not like vector images are a panacea. Fonts require "hints" to scale. http://www.pushing-pixels.org/2011/11/04/about-those-vector-icons.html http://www.pushing-pixels.org/2011/11/04/about-those-vector-...
- mbq 14y agoPrecisely; hinted, procedural vector graphics are this panacea (see SVG's shape-rendering and media queries). There is significant initial cost to create a library of widgets and icons, but they are perfectly reusable and thus overtake a designer pixel-perfecting every screen to all target devices fast.
- calinet6 14y agoNo designer worth his salt would object to a method such as that, as long as it produced good results.
