thanks guys for your input but anyone have any ideas on software that will handle big tiff files easily and you can select areas to print at say 78% of original   Thanks Julian.

adobe photoshop.

the size of the file you can handle is more down to your computer than the software - how big is the file?

Hi all:
Any step-by-step tutorials how to do this with GIMP?
 I have the 1/128  Fleetscale Hood and would like to scale up drawings of her in '31 configuration from  scanned pages of my AOTS Hood book.
Best regards,
