Down Sizing A Pattern/template

[Ladykahu]

I take it one step further..

I use either publisher or photoshop to resize, flip etc my images...

Then I am naughty and gently trace directly on my laptop screen onto my tracing paper. I use a really good quality pencil and hardly press at all, then firm up the lines on a table afterwards.

The laptop screen being backlight really makes tracing easy. But do NOT press hard or you will damage LCD screens. My laptop screen folds flat so it becomes a tablet (kinda)

Naughty naughty!

(Using an ultra-fine Sharpie would help prevent damage to the screen, yes?)

I tried a felt tip pen, but go better results from a pencil, it also meant I could 'refine' if needed if I made an error in tracing.

I never make an errors, so a sharpie is fine for me.

Paint.net is another good one as well.
