Hi I'm looking for someone that can convert a couple of photos into patterns for me. I want to try and make a couple of portraits of my two grand kids. I don't know if it would be easier to make one with both there images in it or do two separate ones. One is a boy and one is a girl. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Ralph.

Usually you just post pictures and patterns magically appear. I've had some great patterns doing that. There are some great pattern makers here.

Thanks Paul, I'll try that. Ralph from Ga.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to find someone that knows how to convert photos into patterns. I have no idea on how to do this. I want to make a couple of my Grand Kids If I can. Here's a couple of photos. Let me know what you think. Thanks Ralph.
P.S. Well I guess my photos are to big it says. Now what do I do. Ugg.

There are many free photo editors that can be downloaded from the internet. You can resize your images with them as well as modify and enhance them. I use Photoscape but there are many others.

Hi Paul, what size do you use to post pics on here. Do they go by document size or pixel.

Hi there, I think the biggest size for uploading is 126kb.

If you go to Steve Good's blog, http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2013/09/super-simple-picture-resizer-for.html (http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2013/09/super-simple-picture-resizer-for.html) scroll down a little there's a Picture Resizer that will reduce your photo size so it can be uploaded. It has to be <128kB.
You can also upload it online to something like Google+ photos, then put a link to it in your posting using the Picture tool (1st button in the 2nd row - right click the photo and select "Copy URL", then paste that URL between the {img} {/img} code that the button inserted). The size doesn't matter if you do it that way.
It's hard to get both people in a picture to look their best, but it's easier to render (convert to a pattern) if you have one picture with both people (they are already on the same size scale). One picture with 2 good images of them is the ultimate. The best patterns are from quarter shots (the person's head is turned a little to the right or left) - those show the shape of the face better than a straight on shot, and have better shadows to convert. Also natural light is better than a direct flash picture - the flash tends to light the full face so the cheeks, nose, and other lines are obscured. Indirect light like sunlight won't usually do that.

Well I tried doing a couple by myself. Not to good, then I got an email from Mahendra and he saved the day. I sent him a few photos and he sent one back right away. What a guy. Can't say enough about him . Thanks to everyone who tried to help me.
