Since upgrading my mother to OS X and loosing the use of one of her favorite programs, I have been looking for a program that did Brush Mirrors.
Symmetrical Designer is a nice program as far as it goes. But some not so sophisticated users may want to take their creation and embelish it. A way to do this is not obvious.
Try this: 1. Make the design. 2. Set the Page Setup to 75%. 3. Print it to a PDF. 4 Open the PDF in Preview. 5. Do a Save As to BMP or other format by choosing the Pop Up in the Save As dialog box. 6 Launch a paint program, Apple Works, Canvas, Photo Shop, whatever. and open the document using the Open command. 7. Add color using the fill tool, edit superfulous lines etc.
Have fun.
My mother has created some eye catching designs. Hope this helps others think out of the box this budding developer has created while working toward furture enhancements. Good Start!
My apologies for posibly being a very dense person. But I have gone through all the menus dialog boxes of the version I downlaoded and I can't find any way to export to TIFF. For that matter I have loaded on three different computers and the About dialog, preferences are grayed and unavailable. As a matter of fact the application menu is called Mirror. The file menu consists of New, Open, Open Recent, Close Save, Save As, Page Setup and Print.. So I assumed that the program was in developement.
I am not sure what has happened and I didn't mean to post something that was innaccurate. But I just checked my copy again. Please advise me what I should do next. Thank you.
I have a copy of version labeled Symmetrical Designer 1.0b.
