Picture to Poster size

[PAKMN]

Hello
I once saw a tutorial on making a poster size picture out of a smaller picture. It involved the use of the grid lines set to a large size and the marquee tool set to a fixed size. the marquee tool snapped to the grid and was saved at that size. When it was finished you printed each square at a larger size and fitted them together making a larger picture or poster. Any help here on this one?

But i'd be interested to see if anyone else has. Sounds curiously entertaining. [honesty]

PAKMN as you are not getting any PS suggestions (yet) ... the following may help you ... it is a shareware program with a limit of 12 poster designs on the usual try before you buy basis ...

... it "tiles" your poster into a4 sized prints that you can then put together

Wouldn't that end up making the picture very pixeated? It is exapnding the size a lot so wouldn't the quality be pretty crummy?

Depends on the quality of the original picture

The best way to resize a picture to poster size is to use a program like S-Spline;

You'll always lose quality when you resizie your image to a larger format, but S-Spline does a much better resize job than Photoshop.

If you have a high res and good quality pic, then it probably won't really show, unless you enlarge it too much.

Does someone here know if and how I can cause photoshop to print the grid that I have on my image?

Thanks,

Picture to Poster

I would email the guys at PosterBurner.com - Turn your pictures to posters. Make incredible personal posters. They do it as a business and I'm sure their designer would know.

you could always take a screen shot of it not sure if PS does show grids unless maybe you create one on top?

Stop answering two year old threads, just because a spammer replied you idiot...
