BillyJack Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 I need to scale this ro 7/8. I have programs, but I'm rusty. I need as many as I can get on a sheet of printer paper. I need ti cut around it, shrink it and apply it to a sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Do mean 7/8 of its current size, or shrink it to print at 7/8" in one of its dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 I use a 25 y/o version of Photo Shop, so not much use to you. But any photo processing software should be able to resize a photo. In fact I think the photo viewer in Windows has some basic editing functions. Do a sesrch on "how do I resize photo" and I bet there will be some info. Another approach would be to do a reduced size color photocopy at a copy shop. But that will be a physical copy, rather than electronic. Is the image copyrighted? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted January 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 I’ve got an older photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 @BillyJack, in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 this is what I would do. Open the image Pull down the Image menu Click Resize Click Image Size Constrain Proportions should be on Then in the Document Size section set the desired image height. The process is probably similar in your version of Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Each time I try to resize it chops the image.. Im doing this under attributes. Im a very, very patient woodworker. Not so much with computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 My version of Photoshop does not have an "attributes" menu item. I looked in the help file and didn't find it, either. Does your version have a help file? Any "how to" clues on the internet? Otherwise all I can say is try to find something in your version similar to mine: look for "images size" or "document size". Alternatively, if you have a recent version of Windows, then try opening the image in "Photos". Pull down the 3 dot menu; choose "Resize Image"; select percentage to reduce the size of the image. There's no preview function so you will have to save and open the file to see the result, and I think that getting the right sized outcome will be trial and error. Although if you know your original image is, say, 1" and the result you want is 7/8" then setting the percentage to 87% should do it.

wtnhighlander Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 @BillyJack, I downloaded the image, and opened it with GIMP (an open-source image management application, similar to photoshop). It reports that the width of that image is already 7/8" in portrait mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 How much separation? I was able to do something similar, and adding separation won't be hard. output.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Two ways. One with it every other and another with 2 spaces in between… Considering adding text next to:each one. I think if I had the pictures I muight be able to add the text if I load it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Want it spaced every other in both directions? Or just across the row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Adding a frame to the image is usually the fastest way to get separation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I found that carefully taping one edge of the transfer paper to the wood, before pressing it out, really helps to avoid smudging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
