I have an old freeware program called "Easy Poster Printer" That I have used to make pics with 9 8.5x11 sheets from a very low mp image. They actually look good. I don't know if it is still around, though.

Wow1 I just tried it on one of my flowers - told it to use 8.5 x 11 paper and overlap the "tiles."
It created 25 tiles and each has very good IQ as I see it.
Attached are 2 of them adjacent to each other plus the original...

I only have a regular laser color printer, if I want to enlarge my picture into 4 pieces of (8x10)papers, and then post them onto a foam board, what is the best way to do it in Photoshop? Or by other freeware? Many thanks
Are you trying to make a 16 x 20 ?
As someone mentioned, may be easiest to enlarge and get it printed.
But if you want to tackle it at home, you can make the template in Photoshop.
I make 24" x 32" with my Canon Pro 100. ( use 4 - 13 x 19 sheets )
Actual image size 23" x 31", leave 1/2" border for push pins into acoustic tile.
Need a good cutter.

In Photoshop, crop 4 separate quadrants out of the overall image and make 4 separate files and print them separately. Use an Exacto knife and good straight edge along with spray mount. There are special graphic art techniques for doing this project perfectly which I won't go into here but you can get pretty close without them.
Yes, I don't have spray adhesive, so I use school glue stick of which the result is not bad.
My other problem is cutting the centre line of the prints to mate the picture, which is critical if the line falls on a portrait's face.
Too bad my chopper board can not cut the foam board, there is a bar to limit the thickness of material to be cut. I use a utility knife with an angle straight edge, the cut edge is not so ideal.
I probably have to learn more about the mounting picture technique from U-tube and invest on more tools.
To enlarge my print 4 times on PS, I use [New Guide Layout] to divide my prints into 4 quadrants, then select each quadrant and use [Layer via Copy] to bring it to a new layer and then use [Free Transform] to bring the quadrant to full size and Save. However, I have not figured out how to enlarge it to 2 times yet; any hint?
I laminate my laser color prints on the front side; the result is almost like costco gloss print. Of course, my laminate machines allows standard size only. I wonder if anyone use this method.

Let me rephrase my question, how to split my picture into 4 quadrants and then print them out in Photoshop?

Blow up your inage four tiness the size you want, then crop out four quarter of that image and printy each as separate photos.
