I just started with the basic 29x29 pegboard and dabbling with small versions of our favorite 8-bit memories. I'll be posting images of them quite soon.
My question has to do with increasing my pattern beyond the typical pegboard size. I use Photoshop to grid the sprites.
Any guidance will be surely appreciated! In case any of you are wondering, I would like to create a large Super Mario Bros invincible star for our Christmas tree.

Re: Enlarge Pattern
in programs like photoshop you can easily just increase the image size with a few clicks. Or, what you can always do, is just do it by sight, and for every pixel make a 2x2 square, that should increase the size quite a bit.

Re: Enlarge Pattern
Thank you both for the advice. It helped quite a bit. Though, by browsing the forum I discovered software called Perler by Snild Dolkow. It works wonders for obtaining a base size for any image.

Re: Enlarge Pattern
There is another Software called Perler Pal as well. It counts the total beads and gives you the exact colors and how many pegboards to use. It's quite handy. I use that and the paint program and I magnify as big as I can and then use show grid. Works great!:)
