I have a need to print a picture in nine different pieces each about
8X10. Is there a software that can do this. Can Picasa do this.

Appreciate any help.

PhotoLine 32 from www.pl32.com does this using the Poster Mode in the print
options. I've been using this for years to print up large-scale high-resolution
topographic maps in as many as 15x20 -- 13"x18" panels. No other program even
comes close to all that PhotoLine 32 can do. Its capabilities have surpassed
Adumbies PhotoShit for many years now.

If I had to do this, I'd split the image into nine parts using
ImageMagick and then print the parts. Simple. No need to buy
something with capabilities surpassing PhotoShop.

If I had to do it a lot, or on many sizes of originals, I'd wrap
ImageMagick in a script. All the tools needed to accomplish this
came with my OS. Both ImageMagick and my scripting tools of
choice (bash, perl) are available for free download on Windows.

I used to have a cheap program from Micrografx called Photo Magic. It
had that feature. I replaced PM with PSP several years ago. While
PSP is a very good program, I do miss this "poster print" feature. I
tried on my wife's Photoshop and didn't find that option there,
either. Note to photo editor software engineers- this is a neat
feature- bring it back.
