Here's my problem. Now I dont know much about scanner software so please bare with me if this is a stupid question.

My mother recently got into doing stained glass and she has several books that contain patterns for stained glass. Naturally these books have patterns that are intended to be enlarged before actually being made into stained glass. Herein lies the problem. In order to get them blown up to the appropriate size it would cost her like 50 bucks.

I am looking for a scanning software that is esay to use and will allow us to blow things up to like..... 16 1/4" by 28" and the printer will print it out on so many 8 1/2" by 11" sheets of paper so that it will be big enough for her to trace onto a larger sheet of paper.

I would suggest actually scanning it in then using a program like photoshop or fireworks to enlarge it and crop it into seperate image files. Then print out each one and put it together.

I've never tried to do something like this, but that's probably how I would do it.

I thought about that, but quite frankly.... thats too much work. Not to mention that my mother can barely surf the internet.... little own do photo editing in photoshop. No I am looking for something really easy to use.... basically something that all you need is the image and the dimensions and the program does the rest.

Thanks anyways Shino
