Is there an option in Photoshop 7.0 by which I can print a large image as a series of tiles on a small printer?

thanks,

Mike.

As in print a number of parts of the larger image, and then register them to make a final "print" larger than the printer? If so, I don’t think PS has a function to do that "automatically", but you could certainly do it manually via printing a number of image selections with small overalaps.

Yes – that is the Idea – I use photoshop and illustrator as ‘sketching tools’ in the creation of large
paintings. I like to blow the sketch up to around 1.2 m square and glue it to a board. This process lets me
fine-tune things before I transfer the image to canvas.

Guess I could try playing with the scripting tools.

Not that I know of, but there is such an option in many
Epson printer drivers.

I believe you can do this with Illustrator.

And I know that if you have PageMaker you can place the image at the correct size and then set up the print driver to tile the image exactly as you’ve described.

So I could either import the drawing as a raster into
Illustrator, or use pagemaker – which I have, but have
not investigated to date – thanks for the suggestions.

Illustrator works great for that!
