I’m very much a newbie to PS and would appreciate some guidance on a project I have in mind.

I’d like to make a couple of montages of selections from some old black and white photographs which I’ve scanned and managed to clean up in PS. What I’d like to end up with are a couple of long narrow prints, something like A1 size cut lengthwise, to make two landscape photos of approx 295mm x 840mm each.

My local shopping-mall photo print shop will accept a single digital file containing two images for printing at standard A1 size which they can then cut to the dimensions I require.

Most of the photos have been scanned at 300dpi, (but can be re-scanned at a higher resolution if deemed preferable). I have an elementary but probably adequate knowledge of how to make and save selections from the photos and (I hope) how to compose them into montages using layers.

I know I’ll strike some huge learning-curve problems along the way, but my concern at this stage is whether it is practicable to compose the two montages in PS into a single digital image at sufficient resolution for printing on A1 size paper (841mm x 594mm).

Or is there a better way to get the end products I want?

Many thanks

I would just create a 300 ppi file of the required dimensions and drag the two other files into it. Play with it from there. Find out the file type and color mode the printer requires.
