I have an I Mac running Photoshop 7.5 or 7.6 I really want to be able to print out photos in a larger size. Like wall size. I am used to the old tiling option in Page maker. Photoshop does not seem to offer this. Anyone have any ideas?

Doreen,

I have an I Mac running Photoshop 7.5 or 7.6

Run that by me again? There is no such animal. Do you mean Photoshop 7.0.1?

Try placing your images in InDesign, if you want the flexibility of a page layout program (which is what Pagemaker was).

InDesign is a separate application. You can buy it separately or as part of the CS2 Creative Suite (which also includes Photoshop 9.x, Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.).

Nope. Maybe 7.0.1?

You would need to check your options either in your printer dialogue box, to see if there is an option for that, or you could place it in another program. I have saved files before from photoshop as a tif and then placed them in Illustrator, then printed them out in large, tiled format. Do you have Illustrator?

"I am used to the old tiling option in Page maker"

You can use CS2 Illustrator or InDesign to tile.

For Illustrator: You can choose a tiling option in the Setup section of the Print dialog box. To view the page tiling boundaries on the artboard, choose View > Show Page Tiling.

For InDesign: You can have InDesign tile a document automatically, or you can specify the tiles yourself.

Just place your Photoshop image into either one of these applications and you’ve got it made.
