Putting it together
Buckles,
Straps and Belt
Another technique
which will give you even more accuracy in the details, is
available when there is a
great reference of the costume from straight on.
Crop
Using the 'crop'
function' on your computer paint program, chop the photo up into
printable pattern portions.
Meaning - estimate the size of one piece of paper - such as half
of the bib portion. And crop just that - save as seperate file.
Hue Shift
Using the hue shift
under color mapping, saturate the photo to -100. This will take
out the color.
Then, saturate lighter, until there is just enough contrast for
you to see the design.
In this way, you can trace along the lines with a black line tool
and have a very printible pattern.
If you are unable to find these functions, you can simply set
your printer to print only in black and white.
I just like to save on ink...
