I think I'm ready to throw in the towel - I really need help here

[john love]

I've got my universal iApp (entitled "Love Song to America") all ready, except I've got quite a few graphics whose x2 version are very, very pixelated.

Furthermore, it will never get to the app store because my app has been rejected because of the pixelation I've just mentioned.

I do coding, I have next to zero skill using Photoshop, etc. Most of my graphics are from screen shots that are more than ample for my website:

Dedicated to the Military Escort Officer

Anyway, it is clear to me that these graphics almost need total re-building for my universal app.

Yes, my app will be free; however, within reason, I am very willing to pay someone for such efforts.

Hi John,

Is taking screenshots the only way to get your graphics?
You shouldn't use screenshots but instead get the original images used.

Absolutely not; e.g., 9 out of the 12 UITabBar item icons are from the free version of the famous glyph icons and so I use them.

I'd love to upload a compressed version of my complete icon/png graphic set to let someone, anyone, take a look at.

My back is against the wall here and I could really use some constructive guidance, e.g.,

(1) Use this graphics software package and do the following 3-or-whatever things and your graphics will be minimally pixelated.

-- OR --

(2) For $___, I will convert/rebuild your graphics for minimal pixelation.

For $25 you can purchase those glyph icons at double size. If that is large enough that would mean you would only need to remake the 3 remaining icons.

You can upload the other 3 and I can give you advice on how to enlarge them or where you might be able to locate similar higher res versions. It depends on the subject and quality of the icons in question.

It would also help if you could state the size (in pixels) you need them.

I would be very willing to upload to you the .zip compressed file housing all the png graphics.

All the sizes of the existing graphics conform to the sizes mandated for iOS apps, in 3 categories:

(1) the app graphics, e.g., Icon.png, iTunesArtwork, Default.png. Their sizes are those specified by Apple

(2) my UIView graphics, e.g., Love_Song.png. Their sizes are all over the place and depend on the UIView in which they appear.

(3) my UITabView icons, e.g., sentinel.png and its companion @2x are sized according to the Apple spec.

Then just upload them and I'll take a look. I can't really give advice without looking at them.
