Resizing images for printing Options

[sidg]

I have some paper patterns which need to be enlarged by a certain percentage before use. I've scanned them using Tame/2 but I can't see how to enlarge them and print them enlarged in PMView. I tried Transform > Size > Custom > 142%, but while this enlarges the image it makes no difference to the size at which it is printed. It's as if PMView were using the resolution at which the image was originally scanned (300dpi) although the image info for the resized image shows 426dpi. I'm using the 'fit resolution' option when printing.

Am I doing something wrong? Can this effect be achieved? I suppose I could adjust the image width/height manually in he print dialogue, but I'd rather not have to do the maths! The annoying thing is that I'm sure I tried this a while ago and it worked.

The trick is to select a human unit instead of a computer unit. Sure sounds like you have selected to use "pixels" as measurement instead of inches (US) or millimeters (Europe).

Use the "Custom size" option in the print dialog (width or height as reference) and set the size you want in inches (or millimeters). No need to do the maths - the specified size is in pixels, inches or millimeters (depending on the unit selected with the "Unit" control down at the bottom of the dialog).

Thanks,
