Poster Software??

[crazybillybob]

Ok,
I know I saw a thread on this a while back (maybe a year?) but I cna't find it now so some help would be great.
I'm looking for software that will let me take an Image then tell the software the size of paper I'm using and the final pic size and it will print out the image in pieces that I'll tape together and make a big poster or bannet type mural. I'm looking for Freeware or open source type stuff.

Like I said I know there was a thread on this so even a link back would be great!

Thanks,
CrazyBillybob

Hmm...you might be able to do this with GIMP, using one of the extensions that you can download? Other than that, not sure i'm afraid.

rasterbator

download the client, and read the readme. It's not difficult and it rules. If you want the image to look better, make the dot size as small as possible.

nil,
That's what I was looking for Thanks!!!
You'd think that with a name like rasterbator I'd remember it

I mentioned it at work once and got chewed out because a passing employee thought I was talking about a physical act with a similar name. Nothing came of it though. Thank god my boss has a sense of humor.

It's hard to forget once you commit it to memory. It's fantastic program with color laser printers. Badass looking imagery.

I'm glad I could help.

Unless you work at a Kid's playpen, i would have got pissed about that. Your boss doesn't own you mouth-i would have followed him around all day screaming Masturbation at him till he got the point.

Then again, i can be a difficult guy to deal with...this is probably not a good idea if you want a promotion.

It's not a matter of promotion. My boss had a good laugh about it.
The passing employee chewed me out about it and talked to my boss. That was the problem.

It's the state of sexual harrassment cases in America. If I so much as say penis or masturbate at work to the wrong person I can be terminated that day without recieving any of my long term benefits. It's bull**** and causes people to step on eggshells.

If I can help it when I'm at work I try not to deal with females for that reason. It sucks, but it's the the modern politically correct way to do things.

Some places are better than others, some people are better than others. It sucks that I can't talk to the opposite sex for fear of having a word or sentence taken out of place and human resources 'informed of my intentions'.

Basically I keep my jokes and real conversations with my friends that I spend time with outside of work, if I work with them or not. Everyone else I talk to about work or talk about the weather or safe current events. Hooray for being a corporate whore.

That is why I never go anywhere. I just don't understand why people are like that? It's so very very frustrating because I LOVE to talk. Thinking and talking has to be the two greatest past times ever. But I always say something that someone doesn't like or they get offended by it or something on those lines. I don't talk a whole lot, everyone thinks I am a shy guy because of it. Ha, if people weren't so, I dont know? Stupid? I would be a very talkative and social person.

You know what I think? I think the people who get offended over talking about "masturbation" are either mind washed priests or people who are ...familiar... with it. Thats just what I think though, I am probably wrong.

I'd do that, but to the guy who chewed you out.
