Much better results just having the images printed as a solid poster.

In photoshop, you can save as photoshop pdf. That should do the trick.

I know the solid poster would look good blown up but someone asked me to do a wall art composed of nine 5x7 frames in a 3x3 configuration spaced about 1" apart. My question is there a way in LR4 to take a RAW image and break it up into 9 separate images?

8 copies followed by 9 crops?

Maybe just print it as a poster and cut out the corresponding pieces to fit your layout. Sounds like a 16x24 print would get you about what you are looking for. (or a 20x30 to allow for frame interference.) Scissors are cheap.

My printer gives an option to poster print. also allows different combinations of 'pages'. each one comes with a guide cutting line to match image to image. Not bad up to A1 as a graphic image. you would really have to think about pixel size of original.

Save your image as a pdf, open it and select Print

Select the print poster option and change the scaling percentage. The tiling is shown in diagramatic form, when the image is scaled to your satisfaction, click print.

(400% scaling gives you 16 sheets of paper)

Thanks Searcher.

I might do that by way of a PDF (as mentioned) & Adobe Pro X. if you take a large print and print (to PDF file) on smaller pater (custom sizes available) it will print several sheets to make up the one large picture (poster)...you may have to trim unless you set to full bleed. I fortunately have a 24 & 36" color plotters that probably would make this much easier.

You probably could do it by cropping different portions of the original image to obtain separate images.
I agree with darkman, print the solid poster then cut into the desired number of images needed.
Your poster will need to be 45x63, then pencil trace on the back the grid of the nine 5x7 size requested and cut away.

Create a photo file that is as high resolution as you can create in a 3:2 ratio format, take it to WalMart, CVS, Walgreen's, etc. to have a print made that is enough inches to fill all those frames or mattes, and cut it up. The result is photo quality yet cheaper than using your own ink for 9 pages.

import the photo into coreldraw, size it and print it tiled
