Sorry to bother you all but I need help!

I'm using stencils to decorate my room but I really want to enlarge some of the ones I have. I can't seem to find anyway to do it. I want it to print in sections so I put all the pieces together and get a large picture.

Does anyone know how I can do this using photoshop??

I'm afraid, photoshop does not help you. you can trace the stencils to vectphotoshopor graphics and then enlarge as much as you want. Or make zoomed (not digital) photos.

Can't you just scan them, enlarge it as much as you want and then split the image up in pieces that would fit your printer?

I managed to do it in the end. I just cut the picture into pieces and printed each piece on A4 :D

What a nightmare stenciling is though. Now I have to go over everything with a fine brush because there was some paint that seeped through the stencils and the spray adhesive I used left marks all over my bloody walls :evil:

I'm cutting out a stencil thats using around 70+ A4 pages now :? It's a picture of snow white with a big sniper in her hand pointing it at Marilyn Manroe with "fight lookism" written at the bottom :wink:, it's HUGE and I'm hoping I'll be able to stencil it on my wall.

This is what it looks like now, I've only done a few of them. I've decided not to stencil anything else till I have all the stencils ready because cutting/painting one at a time is really tedious.

I'll show you what it looks like in the end :?

Ulead photo express has a poster function. You just enter the size you want and it will automaticaly divide it into as many A4s as needed.
