How do I enlarge a Google image for print?
    #18867930 - 09/20/13 02:09 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I'm trying to use a stained glass pattern I found on Google, but it prints at like 6 or 7 inches andiI need it to print at approximately 10 inches or so.

What's the easiest method to do this?

Thanks

you can use any photo editor to increase size, but you sacrificing image quality (image become blurrier)

Photoshop works great as you can set your sheet size and just drag the picture (edges or diagonal) until it fills the window.

When you enlarge the image as JohnnieYen said you're going to have a distorted blurry or blocky image. If it's for stained glass there might be a filter that will smoothen the edges and bolden the colours and shapes so that it doesn't look blurry and looks more suited for stained glass. I think Gimp should also allow you to do something similar (been a while since I used it so not completely certain). If you don't have Photoshop then Gimp is free.

Also to keep the image to scale hold Shift or Alt while dragging the edges, again the button depends on what programs you use.

It's a pattern, so it's just a line drawing. So, the quality loss is not a big deal at all since I just need to cut the lines and trace it to glass.
And fwiw, the patterns are just black and white images. Pretty much just lines.

So, Gimp is my only option?
Can't use MS Paint or tweak a setting via the print page screen?

Your printer software has an option that allows you to resize your image. Open the image in whatever you have, even if it's just a browser. Choose the print option, mess with the printer settings, print.

Ok, great!
I'll try that when I'm at a PC and report back.

Many thanks, people of the Shroomery

you will need to crop the image first before you resize. You need to eliminate some of the white bordering the image.

If you don't your picture will probably be off center.

Should be easy peasy

It's getting cut out along the lines anyway as per how I trace the individual segments on to the glass to score and break.
