I have been benefiting from reading your posts for some time. Usually, by the time I think of a helpful comment, forty good and some not so good comments have already been made. For instance, I think I recently read a request from someone asking for help making a poster by gluing four quarters of a photo on a backing. I was challenged by this question about making a mosaic from an image. It seems like it is a fairly straight forward task for any processor. I use PS Elements 14. This image was taken with my 16 MP, Nikon D7000. It is 4928 pixels wide and 3264 pixels high. So I set the crop size for 2462x1632. I placed the courser at a corner and dragged it out until the little numbers following it said "2462 W x 1632 H". I then saved this image with a "1stQtr" tag to the filename. I repeated this three times with the other corners. Printing them on 8.5x11 sheets left some white strips across the tops and bottoms that had to be trimmed off. I laid them semi-carefully on the dining room table, climbed up on a chair and took a picture, I know, at 87, I shouldn't be climbing on chairs. Anyway, I think it looks pretty good. More careful placement and gluing to a back board will make it look very good. Or, you could separate them by a millimeter or two to admit it is a mosaic. I didn't time the effort but it was less than an hour.

Hmmm. I just broke three ribs by falling from a chair that I used to change a light bulb in my ceiling. I guess the trouble was that the light bulb in my head was also not working. Anyway, don't do that again.

Welcome. If you meant to include an image, after you browse to select the image you want, look to the right of the browse icon and select "store original and add attachment".
