How to make a mural out of a photo


Does anyone know how to take an image, section it, and print the sections at any size (5x7 or 8x10) and put them together to make a mural? Do you know what software supports this type of function? Thank you.

  yes... photo explosion it is sold at walmart for @ 19.99 pick your photo and select print , it will give you options pick poster, select out put size , if you make a mistake it will just print a lot of sections of your picture ... dont worry ..keep trying on cheap photocopy paper , when you get it set right then use your good paper .... hope this helps..

  Forgot to ask: Can the sections be saved to a tiff or jpeg to take to a photo shop for printing (i work in a photo lab)? Thanks

  I have not used a tiff file yet ....but I have had several jpeg's printed and they came out very good ... but ... I use the highest seting on my camera (digital rebel) and I do not edit much ... usally what you see is what the origonal looked like minus my name printed on the bottom.... of course I may take 10 pictures of somthing to get 1 or 2 good ones... but I am still learning....
