How to extend an image onto 4 pages?

[jgustin7b]

So I have an image to print out, but it has to be relatively large. The problem is, I only have regular sized paper. I was thinking that I could put the picture onto 4 pages and just "extend" it to fit onto the 4 pieces of paper while having the same length to width ratio as if it were just the regular image on one piece of paper as to not distort anything too badly. Is this possible? I can use the google apps (docs, sheets, slides, etc) and Microsoft word.

Thanks in advance.

Cut the image into 4 pieces with theGimp. Blow them up and print them each out and tape together.
All I got.

Is “theGimp” a program or something? Sorry about the delayed response btw.

sorry, yeah the GIMP stands for the Gnu Image Manipulation Program. I didn't name it but it is catchy. basically its a free open source photoshop.

you can grab a copy from here. you should be able to enlarge and chop the image into 4 or more separate files. then you can print and assemble the large image

I’ll have to check it out tomorrow. It’s getting late over here, but looks promising.

Well, I gave it a shot and it was a little complicated, but during some email browsing and searching on the web, I found this thing called Block posters that did it all on the web. Worked out great. Anyways, thanks for the photoshop tool. Might come in handy later on.
