I have a small printer and want to print out a bunch of prints to make One big print. Is there a program that does this? Either cheap or free preferably!
Thanks!

Do you mean you want to tile? (print small portions of the photo and then tape them together into a big print) Adobe Illustrator is the only program I know of that can do this, Photoshop doesn't seem to have the option to tile though.

It's ultimately cheaper to have a poster size print made.

Compose your image in PS and send the file to

El-Co Color labs.

I wanted this done for my grandaughter to put them together to make a big poster.. What does rasterize mean anyway? I see it but I really have no clue as to what it is or does?
Thanks!

Rasterization or Rasterisation is the task of taking an image described in a vector graphics format (shapes) and converting it into a raster image (pixels or dots) for output on a video display or printer, or for storage in a bitmap file format.
