Hi, can anyone help, I want to know if I can flood a page with repeats of a single image. I have been duplicating but I soon get an error message that my PC is running out of virtulal memory, and this method dosen't really work very well anyway.

Well, you could always make your image into tiled desktop wallpaper and then
do a screen capture. But I don't think PD has an indigenous tiling
capability.

If you want to try this, right-click a blank area of your desktop and choose
Properties. On the Background tab, click the Browse... button. Locate your
image, must be BMP or JPG, and under Picture Display choose Tile. Then click
enough OK's to close the dialogue. (These instructions are for Windows 2000.
Your mileage may vary slightly.)

After admiring your new wallpaper, capture and save it. I use WinGrab, an
excellent little capture program, but the PrintScrn key can do the same
thing (it copies to the clipboard). Just paste the PrintScrn image into
PhotoDraw or another image editor.

Odd that you should run out of VM, but PhotoDraw always was whiney about
memory.

1) Open your page and set it to the size you want.

2) Now Draw a rectangle the same size as your page, Click on the Fill
Button, and select Texture from the drop down menu.

3) When the Texture window opens browse to the image you want to use,
select it and then adjust the scale to add or remove the amount of tiles you
want.

Have Fun Bill
