John M Oshust | 24-Dec-07 20:56 | The stars I seek go on the fuse, between the wings. I have a decal pdf file, can someone tell me how to reduce the size? |
SteveM | 25-Dec-07 01:09 | The way I do it is to use the "Snapshot Tool" in Adobe Reader to copy the decal then paste it into a photo editing program. Some people can afford Photoshop, but I like GIMP as it is free and works on Linux, Mac, and the Windows virus suite.
Use your favorite photo editing software to scale the image to the size you need. Print the scaled image in grayscale to double check the size and then print color when you are satisfied with the scaled decal.
When saving your decals I suggest a lossless format such as PNG. The JPG format is great for making a small file, but each time you edit the file and save it you lose picture quality (much like copying a VHS tape). |
