I want to make a photo poster 17” x 22” (mosaic) consisting of four sheets of 8-1/2” x 11” photo paper. The four sheets are carefully aligned and glued to a firm surface.
I know there are programs that will allow this to be done. If anyone knows of such a program, I would like to hear from you. Thank you.

Can be done easily in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements as well!
But doing just a panorama and then having it printed on a printer with roll feed is a lot easier way to do it! No need to glue anything!

I've done that a number of times in PS.

Why weren't they printed before you glued them to the board? In the days of photo prints you set up the actual prints and then glued them down to the substrate mating them together as they went down. Last one similar I did was mounted to look like a window to the outside.

Send your photo off to any lab. They will make tiles out of your image...4,6,8.

I had an old HP printer that would do that.

I believe the OP wants to do this as a project. Your answer is not responsive. If you asked how to shoot a sunset, would you accept "hire a photographer" as an answer?

Smart Ass. Your opinion. The OP is not clear about achieving the final result and the quality of presentation desired. With his level of knowledge, I highly suggest a pro lab do the work, unless the OP wants something looking like a 5th grader glued and pasted—just saying.

It is pretty clear and unambiguous. The op said "I want to make a photo poster 17” x 22”"

What is it about "I want to make" that confuses you.

Also there is not need for name calling. It is the go to response of the weak and bullies.

I often want to make a lot of posters and projects. I put together the images into files and have them printed—some in gallery wraps and tiles. I do that because I want to sell them delivering better quality than I can personally make.

What is with your narrow line of thinking that prevents outsourcing a facet of the final project while taking credit for producing the item? After all the the photographer did make it—clear?? I put together 30 image tiles for billboards—I would not think of cut and paste. Just an option, but if it stirs the peanut gallery with an objection...deal with it.

Based on your description, I think this is what you are looking for:

Or,

Etc.

If you don't need print it yourself, it is much easier to create the image as a 17x22 and have it printed at any lab that offers that size (most do).

I think the words "I want to make. . . " and "four sheets of 8-1/2” x 11” photo paper. The four sheets are carefully aligned and glued to a firm surface"

Are clues that you seem to have missed. Manny Jay clearly wants to do it himself, his way, and is looking for a software soLuton to help him do it.

Nothing you wrote provides the information he is seeking. Imposing you "way" of doing this is not a good answer at all.
