Free Software to Create Bigger Images

9/28/2013

 
Ever have this happen - you're working with an image that fits comfortably on your screen and isn't too big, and then you realize it needs to be about 4 times bigger when it is printed out but doing that with your software will make it too big to work with or exceed a file upload size.   This happens to me a lot and I was tired of not being able to generate a fabric image that didn't fit a full width of fabric without crashing my system or being unable to upload it to Spoonflower because it was over 40 MB in size.   Well I finallly decided to search for a solution and one presented itself with the right price - free!

I found this software a couple of weeks ago and after fiddling with all the settings I'm able to generate some pretty decent enlarged files to fit 56" wide by yards long print areas that are still small enough to upload to Spoonflower and don't crash my system. SmillaEnlarger can be obtained from (http://smillaenlarger.en.softonicdownloads.com/).   I can't wait to try it on full wall-height images for wallpaper strips and shower curtains and other large format applications.  It's good to have a tool that works so well.

    The Artist

    Don't mess with me, I'm a scientist - a computer geek with boundless curiosity and an artist's creative fires burning within.  Part Vulcan - part Klingon - part DaVinci, I have a background in biophysics, computers and music.  I find inspiration in the oddest places and my sense of humor and creativity pop out in the strangest ways.
