Title: How to print patterns
Post by: MOONIE on June 04, 2011, 10:11:02 pm

I'm new to this . . .  how do I print the patterns you artist create?  I've tried copy and paste  but they are real small.  THANKS, Moonie

try to right click on the pattern and select view. from there you and edit the size using a photo editor program (photoshop, gimp, inkscape, etc)

2nd suggestion is instead of right clicking and then view, you can also just double click the pattern and it will come out in a larger size then work with it from there.

I always adjust mine in paint so this way I can blow it all the way up and then when I go to print it I can adjust it to the size I want to use and the detail comes out great.

Thanks, eveyone.   I did right click but the image is still small.  Now I gotta find a way to get a free ''paint'' program.   :)

I have found if I left click on the photo instead of the link below it. It will open a larger copy. Then I right click and then "Save AS" to put it in a file on my computer, you can change the name after you do that if you need to. Then I open it with Paint.Net to edit or print or whatever. It's pretty simple once you have done it a time or 2.
Hope this helps.

Somethng I have been using for a few years is Rapid Resizer.  It is not free but I really like it.  One of the things I like is it is very easy to print the pattern in red.
