How to make a Photo Poster

Use your own digital photos and make a photo poster.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• ClickBook
• A Photo with high resolution
• A Printer (preferably color)

1. Make sure ClickBook is installed. If you don't have ClickBook, you'll need it. Go to http://www.bluesquirrel.com or http://www.clickbook.com to get ClickBook. There are links to these sites at the bottom of this article.

2. Open your photo in a photo viewer or in Microsoft Word. Choose File > Print. For windows: Choose "ClickBook Printer" and hit OK.

3. Hit the Poster button, and specify the size of your poster. ClickBook will let you know how many pages it will take. Hit Print.

4. A 1/2" (1.25 cm) overlap will be printed on each page to help you line up the pages. You can tape the pages together, or you can glue them on a substrate, like poster board. If you are framing the poster, you can tape the pages together and tape them to the inside of the glass frame.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your image is high resolution.
• Use photo paper and a high-quality photo printer for the best results
• For large photos or wall murals, use the small numbers printed in the margin area to assist in assembling the poster or mural.
• If you are using MS Word to print the photo poster, only use the corners to drag/size the image, otherwise it will distort the image. Hint: You can make people look slender by squeezing the photo a bit.
