How to Divide a Big Picture & Print It on Several Pages

Open the image in Photoshop by clicking "File > Open" and choose your image from its folder.

o 2

Click "View > Rulers" if rulers are not already present at the left and top of your image. Holding down the mouse button, click and drag the top ruler down to create a blue horizontal guideline. Place the guideline at the measurement you would like for the height of each image.

Use the Zoom tool, located at the bottom of your Toolbox, to make sure your guideline is placed exactly at the measurement you need. Select the Move tool, located at the top of your Toolbox, to adjust the placement of the guideline once you have let go of your mouse button.

o 4

Make repeated horizontal and vertical guidelines to create the individual pieces of the picture to print out. Make sure each segment fits inside an 8.5-by-11-inch piece of paper with a 1-inch border around each image. Therefore, no individual piece should measure more than 7.5-by-10 inches.

Click the Rectangular Marquee tool located toward the top of your Toolbox. Use the mouse to draw a box around the first segment of the picture. The tool follows the guideline and snaps into place within the segment.

Create a new image by clicking "File > New" or "CTRL+N." Photoshop automatically enters the image dimensions that match the segment you just copied. Click "OK."
