| Printing a single image over multiple pages I would like to use photoshop or preview to print a single very large image (a few feet wide) over multiple pages (say, a dozen or so). Id like to grid these pages up into a single mural after theyve all been printed. Its possible I am a total tard and missing something very simple, but then again, Ive never personally seen this done. Is it possible? Ive got photoshop CS, the latest macos, and a brand new canon printer/scanner. -A preemptive 'thanks' for your help <3

| This is application-dependent. If the application you're printing from supports doing this, then it's possible (QuarkXPress does this quite nicely). If it doesn't, it doesn't. Here's a tutorial of how to do it in Illustrator -- it may be similar in PhotoShop, but at the very least, you could place the PhotoShop file into an empty Illustrator document and print it that way.

| BTW, here is the way I do this with the "consumer" Photoshop Elements: 1) I created a file that was 16inches wide by 10 talll... esentially 2 8x10 sheets. 2) I opened Print Preview 3) I made sure the settings were: a) Postion: not centered, but top and left set to 0 b) Scale: Made sure the scale was 100% and not "Scale to fit media" To do the second page, do the same thing but set postion:left to 8 I'm sure the Pro PS CS is very different, but this seemed like generic enough info that I'd post it for the other "Elements" users...
