  • Just an Idea to suggest: Warning Side Scrolling IMAGE!

    Hey there folks,

    With all of this fancy print work with the calender and such, I had
    gotten an idea.....actually some months ago, but had to learn a
    few more techniques with Photoshop before I could attemtp it!
    Our office recently moved into a new location, and so with the
    remodelling, I get to personalize my workspace/exam room a bit!
    I've already got my 2008 XS/XJ11 calender ready to go up, but I
    wanted MORE!!!

    I had seen where RITZ Photo/camera was able to print POSTERS
    up to 24" x 36" IN their Mall store in about an hour. They provide larger formats, but you have order them online! I'm a typical
    American, and when I pay my $$, I want it NOW!! I was able to
    create a rather large format image....~7000 pixels by 5000 pixels,
    so that when it was blown up to the POSTER size, it wouldn't appear
    pixellated. I had gotten a few action shots from when I ran the
    Deal's Gap at a VJMC rally, and along with them, used some other
    images, like when I was at the local dragstrip for my 1/4 mile runs
    and other rally photos and such, and made a neat collage!!

    I think it turned out pretty good, I've already framed it, and it'll be
    hung up on my exam room wall when I eventually go back to work
    on Thursday ...rough huh?! I've shrunk it down to a bit over
    1000 pix wide, so that you can still see the detail. Just wanted to
    show this as an example for others to possibly give them some
    ideas for making their own posters!

    Merry Christmas to ME!

    You make the 1100 look like some kid's "Pocket Racer".
    What are you, about eight feet tall now?

    You should have posted this thread earlier.
    What a great idea!
    I could have made huge posters of myself and sent them as presents to WildKat, MRO, TRBIG, GNEPIG....

      Very nice work, T.C. I could do something like that. Do you happen to know the dimensions of a typical billboard?

      Merry Christmas,

        I don't know Prom
        Think the others will agree, have seen enough Vespas to last me a long time

        Hey TC, GNEPIG has a thing for guys in leather pants, just ask Prom


        mro

        might have to give it a try
        my printer will do up to 44 inches on one dimension but only 13 on the other

          Do it yourself at home?

          Hey MRO,

          Back in the old days of sheet fan fold printers, making banners
          was a matter of printing across several sheets. I had thought
          about this for this project. I know Paint has spread an image
          over several pages when I tried to print a too large an image
          that wouldn't fit onto 1 page!

          I thought about doing this with a better program, printing the
          blowup over several sheets, and then taping them together, but
          I don't have a straight paper cutter to cut away any remaining
          border on each page!?
          T.C.

          Those are only CHAPS, not full leather pants, so hopefully I'm safe?

                  I was going to say that TC's top left pic was my favorite as it really catches the feeling of the ride. Then I saw the crotch rocket one!!
