wall mural

I know what I want to do, getting to the final result is another mystery maybe someone can help with.

What I would like to do is make a mural roughly 4 x 6 feet for my sons room. (Multiple prints form one photo)

Costco prints up to 12×18". This morning I took some of my photos I had and cropped small sections out of them at 12×18 300 dpi and then took to costco for printing. They turned out excellent. 8 megapixel camera.

So my question is, does Photoshop CS have a way of letting me take an image and do a multiple crop within a picture ( Take the picture and divide into say 6 equal parts?), then save as 6 different pics for printing?

I would rather take an image to a large printer but I am not in an area that has that option.

The easiest way is to use the slice tool, and then use Save For Web, max quality, specifying images only.

If you’re a perfectionist, you may be interested in this technique for perfect joins. Lay down guides where you want the cuts, turn on snap to guides, use the marquee select tool to copy and paste each section to a new image. Before copying, use Select>Modify…>Expand to add a 1/4 inch or so to provide a margin for joining the images later.

When you get your prints, cut the white margins off, line up your images, tack in place with tape, then flip them over and use a straightedge and knife to cut from the back through the overlap for a perfect join.
