This is an art project I decided to try out. This original digital work is 24" x 36" which is a lot larger than I can print on my Epson 3880 printer. So I used On1 Resize 2017 ( a program I use to resize my images for
printing ) to tile the original into 3 separate files each 12" x 24" with no overlap. I just printed them and applied an archival inject varnish to protect against damage and UV. I will trim the three images then mount
them using Acrylic Gel Medium to a 24"x36" canvas that I prepped by painting the edges and first few inches of main surface black. I will post the finished product here later. This all came about because I was watching a You Tube video about David Hockney "A Bigger Picture" show. His paintings there are HUGE but he actually painted them on smaller canvas and they tile together to make the larger image. I have tried this before but had
difficulty in using Photoshop to produce tiles of original images.. On1 Resize 2917 is very simple to use and automatially saves the tiles with numbers for you.
