How do I Enlarge a photo over multiple pages

I have an image that i wish to enlarge over four A4 sheets to be framed seperatlely from each other and then displayed to show the entire image.

So far.....
I created a canvas with the dimensions of 4 A4 sheets together, I draged my image onto the canvas and resized it to fit.

I then created gridlines to show where my page breaks and leave me with 4 portions, all A4 in size.

I then selected each portion at a time and draged it into it's own A4 canvas file, So was left with four images all A4 in size, when together made the entire image.

I printed these off and system worked fine..............

Except the tones of colours did not match, I tried photoshop deciding colors and printer deciding colours. My problem is photoshop would normaly look at the entire image when decididng colours but in my case i9t on only has a quarter of the entire image to look at.

Im using Photoshop cs2, fully updated and an Epson R220 printer

Any help as to how i can do this?

Hi Dave,

Have you tried using the poster printing option of your printer. You can tell the printer to print an image over multiple pages.

See this link for more details of how to use this feature.

Choose the "Poster Printing" option from the menu on the right side of the page.

Hope this helps, bye for now.

Hello George

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know about the poster printing option!

I did look into this feature but it does not allow borderless printing when the poster option is selected, well, from what I can see so far anyway

Any more ideas?

Paper cutters are cheap.

The problem with using borderless printing for something like this is that the image is actually enlarged slightly beyond all of the paper boundaries (by 1/4 inch or less), acting like a "bleed" in printing house terms. The fact that the very outer parts of the image are enlarged beyond the page bounds allows for slight paper misalignments in a single image printed to a single sheet. Unfortunately, this also means that if you are going to enlarge a single image onto multiple sheets using a "poster" option, printing borderless would lose slices of image along the page boundaries.

Hello michael,

I did find slices of the image were missing after my first attempt and printing borderless,

However this was not a huge issue and more of a bonus for the work at present, it is a family portrait that i am anlarging over 4 A4 sheets, all individuly framed with a plain glass, no frame, (frame!) So when they are aligned on the wall and spaced correctly there is obviously no image in the gaps, but the image still flows and lines up if you see what i mean.?

There is a program called Big Picture that takes your photo and prints to A4 size only,depending on the size you want as to how many pages,do a Google search to look for it, saw it in a demo once.work great.
