carr52 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 I'm probably not the first one to think of this but thought I'd post it anyway. I was looking for patterens on the web and found some clip art I liked. I just zoomed the picture till it was size I wanted and then placed a peice of printer paperon the screen and lightly traced it. Worked pretty good. Tom Quote

Members Caddata Posted June 1, 2008 Members Report Posted June 1, 2008 Just press the control and print screen button at the same time, open paint, paste (or Control V) the image, and manipulate the image as you like. You can mirror it, add to it, or erase part of it, and print it all using Microsoft paint or another similar program. Be sure to save it for future use. Harold Quote
Members TroyS Posted June 1, 2008 Members Report Posted June 1, 2008 Any way we could get you to drop us a link to the site you found?? Troy Quote Troy
TomSwede Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Yeah, what's that site? I tryed to trace pattern like you did but had no succes with it. Maybe it depends on what type of screen used. I use only crt screens. Just bought myself a cheap laser B/W for printing patterns and documents and I worked with Photoshop for some years so I have a good solution now, even though not the cheapest but I do need the printer for documents too so now I got rid of those expensive jet toners.
