[QUOTE="SiderisAnon, post: 3928738, member: 44949"] Morrus: If you want something quick and cheap for printing them, I recommend [URL=http://www.irfanview.com]Irfanview[/URL]. You can print to original size or set the size to a specific size in inches (among other options). You can also set a top and left margin. So if you needed three specific 1" miniatures, you could set one to print at 1x1, refeed the paper and print the next at 1x2, and then refeed and print the third at 1x3. (Or less than 1" border if your printer handles that.) However, this is only useful if you're willing to print a couple at a time. There are other graphics programs that can create multiple tiled pages. If you have Microsoft Word and are willing to do spend a few minutes, there's a really easy way to insert a page full of the giants. Do the following steps (menus vary by version): 1) Open a new Word document. 2) File -> Page Setup. Set the margins to 0.5" all around (less or more depending on your printer's required margins. 3) Insert -> Picture -> From File. Choose the giant you want. 4) Right-click on the picture. Choose Format Picture. 5) Under the Size tab, set Height and Width. (2" if you're talking Large creatures.) (If it's square, just leave Aspect Ratio on and set one dimension.) The rest of the default settings should be fine. 6) If you want a cutting line, right-click on the picture, choose Borders. 7) Choose a Box. You might need to thicken the line first and then choose Box. 8) Right-click on the picture and choose Copy. 9) Left-click next to the picture. You'll get a cursor. 10) Hit Ctrl-P until you've got enough giants. They'll automatically wrap. (With .25" margins, you can get 4x5.) Because of the way Word wraps images, I have problems putting multiple pages in a single Word file. If that doesn't work, let me know what software you have. I may know some trick. I do graphics manipulations and report production design as part of my job. Personally, I use Campaign Cartographer for my counters and such, when they don't already come in a pre-designed PDF with a full page of counters. [/QUOTE]
