Making Posters From Your Own Pictures

[dtmpower]

Thought the PH Collective might find this site interesting. It has software that can manipulate picture files into multi page 'rasterbated' posters. The image is constructed from many small dots - with options on dots size, colour and page layout.

And the full software version can handle high resolution images (1mb limit on the web version)to generate this: PDF Poster - across several pages of A4

I am limited to printing on white A4 - but if you have access to a plotter some nice posters could be created - and then if the outcome is a success maybe even send the pdf file off to fluid images to print it on canvas.

It's pretty cool, I've used it a couple of times with varying success

Quick note on the "found" photo though, is it yours? Not sure I'd be keen on someone doing that to one of my photos

No, of course it's not mine - it was posted on one of the other posts about car's found hard parked , it's just an example as it's the biggest resolution car picture I had on my pc. I am not trying to make anything from it - it's just an example for the software. Also I agree there is a copyright but it was hosted in the public domain, is there a real problem using it ?

Just because something is hosted in the public domain doesn't make it free for anyone to use / save / redistribute.

So the CrazySkylineUK site isn't yours then? At least you haven't denied using and saving an image at you have no rights to.

I am not going to argue - easier to just delete it

Thought people would be interested in the technique and not argue over the example image.

Not sure I'd want to make a poster out of A4 printed paper.

Much easier to just take the pic in to Jessops or somewhere and order an A1 print for £30. I'd imagine all cameras nowadays will produce decent quality large prints.
