The technical term for what you're doing - printing a single image across two pages - is a "double truck". You can use that to impress chicks at the pub ;-) Anyway, what I do when I print an image double truck is to make each page cover about 55% of the image. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
