I normally use traditional media for my art work (e.g. paint and canvas etc). I would like to use PS as a mockup tool for some larger than letter size canvas oriented projects. For instance, I can scan or trace an image using my tablet into a PS image that is equivalent to the size of the real life canvas. Then I would like to work on this in PS and then output my work to a printer. The eventual goal would be to use transfer paper to trace the images back to the canvas. I hope you follow that.
The problem is this. Although it is easy to shrink the canvas sized image down so that it all fits on one letter size page, that defeats the purpose of what I want to do. I’d like to be able to print the actual size on mulitple sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper, line/arrange them in the order they need to be to recreate the life size image and then possibly tape them together. The net result would be a output on multiple sheets to recreate the actual image size.
FYI, I can’t afford an expensive printer that could handle a poster sized piece of paper, otherwise I wouldn’t be trying to use the approach i suggest here.
I can’t find anyway to do this.. Is it possible or do I need another piece of software etc.
thanks in advance
