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.

Ah, I did not realize that you wanted the print to appear 1.42 times larger than the original.

The reason your method does not work, is because resizing will also set the resolution in order not to affect the original physical size.

After doing the resizing, you can use Transform->Resolution and set the resolution back to 300x300. Then the image will appear 1.42 times larger when printing with "fit resolution".

Thanks,
