The Big Picture

Someone posted a link to a free service that can make giant billboard-style images from any picture. It has the unfortunate name of Rasterbator but you just upload your image, set the dimensions, then download a PDF of letter size pages that you print and assemble to make a large image. I've just tried it with this image of the lovely Maria, so I'll print it out and put it together (hopefully tonight) and see how it turns out. (I chose this fairly light image in the interest of saving toner.) The website is worth visiting just to see some of the inventive ideas people have come up with for these ginormous prints. (Note: the process works on Safari for Mac, but oddly the gallery doesn't seem to.)
