Pattern Requests. / gimp and inkscape

« on: February 26, 2013, 08:26:08 am »

Hi All
not been around for a while as i have been moving house, the intention being that I could allow myself a little time to start and learn how to make patterns. Then disaster struck I had a fall and ended up in hospital with a broken pelvis (ouch).
So I now seem to have the next five or six weeks to spare.
So I will probably be asking a good few questions on the subject if that ok.
The first is this ,,by just using  a picture as a trial I went through the stages from gimp to inkscape and back again when I first bring up yhe pic in inkscape it shows a white b/ground but when I open it back up in gimp it has a checked b/ground, I habe noticed in ink that the preferences show this checked b/ground but how do you change it?

Computer questions / Re: rapid resizer lines

Hi Just an update
After several talks with Patrick it appears that the problem is with his software, in that it does not support PDF files with any realistic level, in fact he has basically told me not to buy the program and to look towards using his on line software on a yearly subscription instead.
I have just trialed that system and I can confirm its brilliant and of course is being constantly updated within the cost- must be the way to go

Thank you all for the warm welcome,its good to find like minded people, and especially nice to find that I'm not the only one in the UK that owns a saw (i was beginning to think I was the odd one out over here) Oh and I am on the east coast of Lincolnshire, and when I say coast I mean 15 yards from the sea. A little bit further from just up the road Roy.

Cheers Dave

Computer questions / rapid resizer lines

« on: January 28, 2013, 12:13:26 pm »

Hi all
I have just been trying the trial version of rapid resizer and its quite good, but I find that after re sizing the radial lines of the pattern become distorted and jaggered, is this normal or am I missing something?. I dont know if its the type of file or something else, the one i have done was steves ship in a bottle of which I increased from its original length of 9.5" to 15" and in proportion in height please any help would be appreciated before I decide to buy or not
