PSPx8 - Is there a way to multiply an image across the image

Post by Wraith_3 »

I'm trying to print some toy money for my niece's American Girl dolls. I scanned an image of the toy money and I wanted to fill an image with as many copies as will fit so she can cut them out. Is there some way to do this? I thought it was called "tiling", but apparently that is something different in PSP.

I'm not sure there's an automatic way to do it. However, first create your dollar bill at the correct print size (I don't know the size of that money, but lets say 3.75" x 1.5" as an example). Make sure it has a print resolutions of 200 pixels per inch (PPI) to get a decent output from your printer. Then create a second image at a size of 8.5 x 11" at 200 pixels per inch (PPI). Then put the dollar bill in focus and, from the Layer's palette, drag the dollar layer onto your white (or transparent) large image and duplicate it 7 times, giving you 8 copies of it that you can then drag into place.

Just as easy is to create the dollar as above, then go to File>Print Layout, select an 8.5 x 11" template, and just drag copies of the dollar bill from the left hand preview column into place on to the template. I'm not sure but maybe the Print Layout window defaults to an 8.5 x 11" template.

If you select multiple layers with the pick tool you can use the Distribute command to evenly distribute the layers across the document.

Or, have the dollar bill image open in the workspace as well as a blank image that will be your printed document. Choose the Flood Fill tool. In the Materials palette, choose Pattern. Then choose the dollar image from the drop-down list and flood fill the blank image with the dollar bills.
