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.

Right, that makes sense now - thanks very much! It's not particularly intuitive, though; if the image size is increased then 'commom sense' says that it gets bigger! It probably makes sense to a graphics professional, but not to the novice user.

Something for a FAQ or tips'n'tricks, perhaps?

Thanks again!

Oh by the way - I'm using PMVPro 3.02 for OS/2. Last Christmas I had a bad crash in Windows 98 which took out my OS/2 program partition. I was able to recover most of it from a backup, but lost my email with instructions for downloading the full version of PMV. Could you remind me, please, of the procedure for retrieving that information - is it through BMTMicro?
