I just started taking watercolor painting lessons, and so enthusiastic - but...I am wanting to use free patterns from different web sites. Can someone help me figure out how to make the patterns larger, to fit a sheet of 8"x10" or 11"x14" paper? I did a google.com search and came up with Microsoft Paint, which I tried, but once I get it enlarged, I can't get it to print out. Can anyone email me and offer me a solution? Thank you SO MUCH! pearlbay Bamberg Germany May 27, 2008 05:40 AM Post #5008860 For an easy solution, copy your images in either Word or Power Point and use the graphics tools to enlarge them. Afterwards, simply print them out.

You will be able to enlarge it then, but at a lower dpi. rhodiegirl Deering, NH (Zone 5a) September 29, 2008 05:18 PM Post #5614362 If your using clipart through your computer, click on print preview and it will show you what the pattern will look like before you print it out. Be careful when you enlarge something, because the precentage is large. lusarytole Fairmont, WV October 09, 2008 09:24 PM Post #5653211 rapidresizer.com this will resize anything. I use it for my stained glass. rhodiegirl Deering, NH (Zone 5a) October 10, 2008 06:37 AM Post #5654275 Question lusarytole, when you print it out, does it print out ok? KayJones Panama City Beach, FL (Zone 8b) October 10, 2008 08:54 AM Post #5654561 I don't need it badly enough to pay $40 for it, but thanks. If you know of a similar program that is FREE, please post it. rhodiegirl Deering, NH (Zone 5a) October 10, 2008 09:54 AM Post #5654742 I don't blame you KJ, I wouldn't want to spend 40.00 either. Did anyone try a google search for this? lusarytole Fairmont, WV October 10, 2008 07:17 PM Post #5656597 it prints out perfect. i did a pattern that was smaller than 3x5 inches and it enlarged it to 104 inches by 9 inches. it has a try it version... It was worth it for what i used it for...
