How do I split and print a landscape into 3 panels? I am going to print on canvas as a wrap in some cases but not in others.

You can try several options. Take three photos or crop you photo to get three panels you want.

I have done this several times with panorama photos I have taken. I use Photoshop to divide the original into 3 equal parts. Re-size them to the dimensions that will match the eventual print size i.e., for a 16" x 20" print make each file 4" x 5" or 8" x 10". The attached 3 photo's make a 5' wide x 16" high Tryptic.

IMO, do not select a wrap that uses part of the image area for the wrap. Choose a wrap option that uses a black or other color for the canvas area used in the frame wrap.

On1 Resize had a feature that would easily let you do this. I used it many times creating tryptics for a local school to decorate their walls.

My guess is it's still part of their software.

Agree Stan. Allowing them to "wrap" the actual picture (depending on who does it) will sometimes throw the match between the 2 pictures off by quite a bit.

I'd say they have to be 3 separate photos.

When I do a panorama in PS, the software selects the photos to join together. The dividing lines are rarely straight. But it produces a good panorama.

So if you're using a panorama like that, just make 3 separate crops. That will make the divisions straight. Photoshop can be set up with a ruler so you can make the 3 images the same size (or adjust the size for your creative requirements).

Generally, canvas wrap prints will have the printed image wind around the 4 sides of the frames that the canvas is printed and stretched on. This procedure is similar to a painting that's conventionally on a stretched canvas. The four sides can be "blank" or have part of the image as well and will depend on whether your triptych is butted together to appear as one wide image or there will be more space between them. I would research the people and company who will be producing your wrapped prints. Ask about your sizing and requirements for the 4 wrapped sides of your images. How deep will the wrapped sides be? Do they have templates?

Look at the sample images below: most canvas-wrapped prints will have part of the image on the 4 sides (first image) while some can be made white or black or anything else or color as in the second example. Part of your choice will be esthetics, the area to display your images and the sizes of your prints. Basically, do you want to see portions of the prints from the side?

For more info and pics, Google: "Wrapped canvas triptych photo prints"

As others have said: divide your full image into as many sections as you wish and use the vendor printing specs and templates.

I've had canvas wraps done in the past and with a little planning, they can look spectacular!

There ARE canvass wrap programs that can do a 'reverse' or mirror image on just the wrapped part. But best to check with the company doing the printing. They do this all the time and can probably help you out.
It can be done with a single frame, multiple frames or a stitched frame as long as you have the resolution for the size and quality you want.
The over all aspect ratio of the three panels you envision should also be considered in the capture method you use.
If you already have the picture, you should ask the printer for advice about the size at which your picture will work.
If you are shooting 'to order' I would ask before you shoot to give yourself every advantage.
Good luck

...cool info! I only use ON1 for IR work, maybe I should investigate. DUH! ;0)

Many canvas print providers offer multi-frame canvases and they do the splitting rather than your submitting separate photos -- I have done a couple that way and the results are great. Check out what the canvas printers provide that you are considering/

If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, I created a couple of actions to do this.

One creates 3 separate images. with no affect to original.
The other creates 3 sections of original photo with blurred and beveled border. ( no affect to original )

PM me if interested.
