how to double an image?

Post by lauram340 »

Sorry if this is the wrong section but I have found some pictures that I would like to resize, to twice there size.
I need to do them buy hand and I was wondering how you done it?

Say there is one line thick of stitches, would I double that to two?

If I am reading your query right, I think you are asking how to resize an image to twice (2x) it's normal size. The best way to do this is to use an image editor program like GIMP, MS Paint, or any other image editing software.

I use GIMP 2.6 as it is compatible with Linux which is my operating system, and this is a screen shot of the image scaling tool. To double the image you would want to make it double the number of pixels for height and width. For this image in my screenshot, you would want to make it 838 high and 820 wide. Hope this helps.
