Press Release Body: July 2008
Patrick Roberts Software has released Rapid Resizer v. 2.6, a Windows application that makes it easy to enlarge or reduce the size of patterns, sketches and line drawings. If the resulting pattern is larger than one printed page, the software will create an image that precisely tiles the pattern across multiple pages. Rapid Resizer dramatically cuts the amount of time it takes to resize the patterns used by stained glass artisans, woodworking enthusiasts, quilters, doll clothing makers, painters, and sign and banner makers.
Unlike photocopiers or projectors, Rapid Resizer will enlarge any pattern to the exact size you require. It's simple to enlarge the size of a line drawing, without changing the thickness of its lines. The overall pattern may quadruple in size, but the width of each line remains the same as it was in the original pattern.
Rapid Resizer can use patterns from a scanner or from the Internet. The Rapid Resizer web site has pointers to online libraries of patterns that are available without charge. Simply copy the image, paste it directly into the software, and resize it to meet your needs.
With one click, you can color each section of your pattern with a solid color, or with images of glass or wood. The program can number each pattern piece based on how you colored it. It even estimates the amount of each type of glass, wood, or other material that you will need to complete the project.
Whether you're a fabric artist who does quilting or rug hooking, a wood artisan who carves or works with a scroll saw, or a painter who needs to enlarge drawings regularly, Rapid Resizer makes pattern resizing quick and exact.
Rapid Resizer v. 2.6 runs under Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista, costs $39.95(US) for a single user license, and may be purchased securely online from http://www.rapidresizer.com/. The program comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can also download a trial version of Rapid Resizer from the company's web site.
