I have a G4 Mac 10.4, 512ram and 400mhz running CS2. I want to produce a
large poster 36" x 24" containing 36 images. I have been trying to do
this using a grid but I am running into difficulties because of the size
of the grid (449mb). I now wonder if this is the best way to produce the
poster or is there a slicker way to do it?
I would never do this as a single image in Photoshop. Instead, i would
place all the images in a page layout program such as InDesign.
Hi
Thanks for the quick response its very helpful. I did achieve the result I needed with iphoto ending up with a contact sheet with all the
photos. The local lab can now work this up to the size I want from the
file I have burnt to disc (or so they say!). Just a final question. Why
was the grid itself such a massive file?

Because 36" x 24" (at 300 ppi?) is a lot of pixels, even if they are all
white at the start of your project.

Thanks for that, it was the white pixels that confused me
