Hi all.

I need to print something across several sheets of paper, to be assembled together to form a large printout.

I can find no way to do this in Photoshop. The Page Setup and Print dialogs don’t offer it, and I don’t see it anywhere else. A search of the help for "multiple pages" didn’t turn anything up either.

What’s the story here?

Thanks!

David,

Two key Adobe applications you probably use are created with single-page layouts: Illustrator and Photoshop. You can print with tiling, but that is clunky compared to Ramón’s recommendation for using InDesign (or QuarkXPress), specifically created for multipage layouts, such as for brochures.

Thanks for the info, guys.

I don’t have InDesign installed. I’ll consider installing it, but it’s sad that we have to install an entire app to get functionality for Adobe graphics programs that even browsers offer routinely. Jeez, Firefox spans pages automatically.

If you have a graphic larger than the page and you don’t opt to resize it, Photoshop should offer to clip the overflow or print multiple pages. And ideally, to print multiple pages with an optional overlap.

I would have thought this was in version 1. But then again, Photoshop didn’t have a thumbnail browser until what, version 7?

David,

Please remember that page layout is not what Photoshop was designed for.

You can do it manually from Photoshop by shifting the image in Print Preview – not as easy but certainly possible.
