Dissecting a picture help.

Lemons_Mufc · 11 Mar 2011 at 18:06

Basicly im a decorater and i want to enlarge a small stencil to a good few a4 sheets of paper but i dont know where to start so maybe a nice somebody can do it for me

.

Lately i been doing everything free hand using the 'grid method' but i want this image dessecting into small sections so i can print each section onto a4 sheets and stick and match then together. (hopefully you get what i mean)

this what i want doing roughly:

not to scale but you get the idea..

Nice app,

Yep a nice bit of rasterbation is what you want.

Don't do it for too long, though. You might go blind.

I've only raster'd one image:

that was 2mx1m and attached to the main roundabout coming in town

Download and print my handy PDF below. Print with no margins if you can, I can increase it to more/less pages if you want too

Thanks for all the replies,

The rasterbater is a good idea but it does it in circles which is a problem because i would to to cut/slice using a stanley to a line but its some nice stuff

@Pho thanks a bunch i will print it all out and see how big it is if i need bigger i will gives fabieno's method a shot see how i get on with it thanks a bunch guys

Lemons,

The downloadable version of the rasterbater lets you have the dots down to whatever size you want but beware, i did 0.3mm and 12 sheets and it made a 200mb pdf which would barely open

Also you can set it to print with small borders or margins so that you know where to cut!

Lemons_Mufc · 12 Mar 2011 at 11:29

Ahh i didnt download it i just did it online, shall give it a go now

Cheers

edit: just did it on 0.3 and it tooks 30 seconds

Np. For really large scale stuff then my method won't lose any quality (i.e. look fuzzy) - I imported your image into Illustrator and made it a vector image I'll post if anyone wants it.

For photos and things (which can't be vectored easily) then Block Posters looks very interesting
