A little basic Photoshop education needed.

[Frog]

One of those things that I probably learned, but didn't use enough, so the knowledge has seeped out. Really basic stuff I bet.

How do I take a 9"x3" ai or eps image and lay it out 5 up on an 11x17 sheet?

Best done in Illustrator.  Just drop it in and duplicate.

I've got one of my own but in Illy... how to wrap text in a perfect circle?

Stuck with only Photoshop.

I do have a workaround that will waste a few sheets of transfer paper, but at least the job will get out.

Do a Google search for "scribus"....open source page layout software. Good for stuff like this when you don't have Illy or corel available.

What I would do is cut the image, go to new set the new page for however big you want and paste the image in there and repeat.

I'll play with both of those ideas guys.
Thanks

photoshop should open an eps, just import it into the photshop and select (using rectangular marquee) and copy and paste. The canvas size is what you want to change to create an 11x17 sheet (under image).

Call me tomorrow if you need more help . . .

Text to path or something like that... check the fly out of the Text tool.

That'll work, as long as I remember to un-check "Relative" in the Canvas Size dialog. Thanks

I may be late to the party, but,

Make your canvas 11 x 17 in PS.  Make sure you have the Ruler on.  Expand the canvas on your pc pretty large (CTRL + Plus Sign).  Use the Move tool and drag the rulers out and drop one at 3, 6, 9, 12.  Expanding the canvas, like in Corel, will make it easier to hit the marks more closely.

Drag in your EPS in and it'll make a new canvas.  Use CTRL + A to highlight the new canvas and press CTRL + C to copy.

Go to the one with lines and start pasting (CTRL + V) in.  If you have SNAP checked, you can lay them in pretty easy to the boundaries for what you want.

You can place the image, double-click it to set it (it will come in with a box and an X through it indicating it's a vector). It will be on it's own layer. You can then do a command-a or control-a (whatever Winderz uses for a "select all" command) and paste. It'll create a new layer each time you do this, one directly over the other. Open your Layers palette and go thru moving them about. If you have to scale the art, do it in the first instance as you're placing it (with the box with the X through it). When you're done moving the layers around to your liking, you can flatten the layers if you want.
Additionally, after you've place the first copy, you can also duplicate the layer as many times as you want by dragging the new layer with the image down to the "new layer" icon at the bottom of the layers palette.
