How to edit .ptn files?

[Fireman Phil]

Can anybody tell me how to edit .ptn files. Some of the files in the library I would like to edit.

Thanks

I believe you have to have a regestered scanner in order to do so. If you do, double click on the ptn and it opens the pattern editor.

Registered scanner? I'm sorry this is very new to me- do you mean a software program that can read it- and if so, what programs are capable of this (if you know).

Thanks in advance!

he means the scanning probe and its software. when it scnas the image it saves it to the card as a ptn and then with that software you can resize and stuff, or atleast that is how i see it.

Correct, Tim

What happens if you do not have the probe. Is there another way to convert them?

Try this: Open up the pattern library, go to a pattern, Right-Click, and select Export.

Does that work for you? If it does you now have a .ptn file that you can convert to a PNG with a little program I just wrote, see this thread:

I will eventaully get around to adding in the ability to interract with the pattern library, but that will take a while.

I am unable to access the web page you sent. All I get is connecting.

Try it again, it is just a link to a post on the forum.
