so i used up my free ofoto photos just now (they expire today). i used the photos to print out two large assemblies, one of them consisting of 24 photos, and one of them consisting of 130 photos (dimensions will turn out to be around 60″x52″ give or take a little).
now, creating the assemblies really really really sucked. i went through a whole bag of tricks trying to find out the best way to make them (the large one, in particular). that one is actually derived from a really really really large web page.
things i learned:
bitmap printer drivers apparently do exist, but i wasn’t able to find them
boy i really wish i had more ram.
imageready has the slicing tools but simply cannot handle large files. (it kept cycling memory ad nauseum when i tried to load the 300MB file). also the slicing and export tools for photoshop suck.
apparently you can’t scroll a scrollbarless browser window.
