Mprinter v2.0

v2.0 changes: introduced image imprinting and other enhancements to expand the use of Mprinter.

Mprinter is a program to imprint either text or a graphic on another graphic, for example to copyright it.  You can load and save Bitmaps, JPEGs, GIFs, Enhanced Metafiles or PNG graphic files as the main graphic.  You can load the same plus Icons as the imprint image.  The imprint image can be transparent and/or translucent.  The main graphic and the imprint image can be resized.  Text and the imprint image can be moved with a mouse and the text can be horizontal or vertical. The menu is popup on the right button.

The main graphic can be viewed either stretched to the viewer size or full size.  It must be full size to imprint it.  If you resize a graphic, it is resized to the frame size.   

Note that only TrueType fonts can be used as text.  

When you make the imprint translucent, some pixels are changed to the transparent color of that image.  Normal is every other pixel and Finer more.  When you change its size it is resampled.  How much manipulation an image will stand without too much distortion depends on the image.  You will also find that some images are not good when transparent.  Again it depends on the image.

You can move the panel with Graphic & Frame sizes with the mouse.
