raster blaster????

Can anyone remember that free software posted on here a few months ago - I think it was called "rasterblaster" or similar but I cannot find any results from searching. It basically 'blew up' a picture to large proportions in 'dot' format - a bit like those retro adverts.

can anyone help?

  • Cool. No wonder I couldn't find it - it's called "rasterbator" not rasterblaster. Oh well, at least I didn't confuse it with masterbator
  • Never heard of this before. Looks good. I may need to stock up on ink. Thanks for this.
  • I went to the direct link and the page went haywire abit, my computer froze later that night too..anyone else had any trouble?

    1. Once the file has been downloaded.. extract all the files into any folder c:\temp for example.

    2. Create a shortcut on the desktop by right clicking the mouse on the desktop, NEW, SHORTCUT and then type in the path for where Rasterbator.exe is located ("C:\temp\Rasterbator Standalone\Rasterbator.exe" if you used c:\temp to extract your files.

    3. Double click on the Rasterbator icon which should be now on your desktop.

    4. Select the language, click on browse to select the image you want, select paper size, define output size, select rasterbator opotions, select where you want the output file to be stored.

    5. Finally click on rasterbate! and bob's your uncle..
