I hope I'm posting this question in the right spot! I am very new to using a projector for cookie decorating, so I have a ton of questions that I can't find answers to anywhere (probably because they're no brainers and I'm a novice)! 

Does anyone use a pico projector with their laptop - NOT with an iPhone/iPad? I can project images/text I have saved, but I can't change the size/zoom to make it fit the cookie. I see a lot of info out there about using the Camera Lucida app with an iPad . . . I'm just wondering if there's another way. Thank you!

Yes, this is a good place for this question. Sorry, I can't help, as I rarely trace stuff, but hopefully some others will chime in soon.

Hi Beth, try importing your picture into a program like paint.net, where you can zoom in 1% increments. But you will only be able to get it as big as it fits your screen, unless you move the projector up... set it on something, if you need it bigger.

Hi Beth, I use a flash card with the images transfered from my computer. I have a pile of books and a big box where I place the Pico. I go to the menu and use "Zoom In" to get the image bigger.  When it does not work, I move the projector up the box and keep adding books underneath it until it fits my cookie. It is not ideal, but works well.
