Tiling a Print

Tiling

• An easy way to make large prints with letter size paper in Photoshop, good for testing a large print size

• Make rulers visible

• Increase print size to total size wanted (even numbers will be easier - you'll see)

• Use rectangle marquee to select an area that will print on one letter-size page (use rulers as guides)

• Start at a corner and move the marquee methodically in rows, use arrow keys to nudge, zoom in for accuracy

• Print each selection by selecting this option in the print dialog box

• To assemble the panels I recommend Scotch Brand Adhesive Transfer Tape (neater than glue between pages)

• Trim one margin of a panel with exacto knife and straightedge (carefully!)

• Overlap on margin of adjoining panel and match up images carefully

• Have the adhesive on the margin right to the edge of image, and to the edge of the panel at each end

• Repeat this technique when you have two more panels in a strip and are ready to attach it to another strip of panels
