That is a lot sharper than the image I had. I'm not sure what pen I'm going to put it on yet. Since I live in Miami, I have a lot of friends that are Dolphin and Hurricane fans. I have just been trying to figure out how to get nice images of the dolphin and the ibis. I've never done a decal pen yet but wanted to try. Thanks for the image
 
From my understanding when you edit a picture and save it you lose the clarity when saving as a jpg, if you can save it as a .png you don't lose it.

what editing software are you using?
 
looks like it supports png try saving it as a png.

are you letting the software resize it,by telling it what dimension you want or dragging the img to the size you want?

also find the highest resolution img to start with
 
My son had helped me because I really don't know what I'm doing with that program. In the morning I'll have him go over it with me and show him your replies. Thanks for all the help.

Thank you for the tutorial - it was crystal clear with each and every step.
This is now on my list of things to do ...

I did a write up on creating decal pens and added some pictures. It is a PDF file so hopefully it will work.

There is probably a lot of different ways to make these but this is the way it works for me.

Sorry for any miss spellings or grammar mistakes in advance.
