Create Poster

If you want to create a larger poster than your printer can print, you can choose Create Poster to divide a single picture into four full-page pictures to print out and tape together. Picasa's Poster feature lets you print up to 1000% of the original picture's size.

To make a Poster:

1. Select the picture you want to print as a poster and choose Create>Make a Poster.

2. Choose the percent by which you want to increase your poster size.

3. Choose the size of the paper you'll be printing to.

4. If you need to tape the pages together, select Overlap Tiles. This will cause the edges of your printout to overlap.

5. Click OK to save your poster. Your picture will be saved as many smaller tiles, which when printed and positioned correctly will form the original image.

Note: If you are increasing the poster size by a signficant amount, the tiles may be very small. You may need to choose View Small Pictures from the View menu.

For a very cool effect, select all the poster tiles and create a Picture Grid Collage.
