According to gHacks, the difference between Block Posters and previously mentioned Rasterbator is the rasterization, which—if true—would mean Rasterbator’s images may appear more pixelated or dotted. Judging from the Block Posters gallery versus the Rasterbator gallery, it’s tough to tell much of a difference. Regardless, if you’re looking to convert an image into a poster or some large wall art, both sites are probably worth a try to see which gives you the results you want.

I'll try Picasa too, thanks Abhi. Well I tried it and liked it, but I need a better printer.

Go to Create -> Make Poster. There choose how big an image do you want. You will need to calculate the size of the image and percentage value Picasa wants (a pain!). Does Picasa 3.x improve upon this feature? Picasa will then create images to print. Print all them to make a poster. Advantage with Picasa is that there is no limit on the file size. Block poster limits file size to 1Mb. Picasa 2.x has a similar feature. Go to Create -> Make Poster.

I don't quite understand how that works. I don't know a lot about image manipulation, but isn't a rasterized image any image that is basically bitmap-style? And isn't that pretty much everything? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_graphics_file_formats#Technical_details background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics Not rasterized?

However, there is a problem with the PDFs that I can't seem to fix. The first, third, fifth (i.e. every other page) are aligned correctly with each other. The second, fourth, sixth etc. are also correctly aligned with each other, BUT NOT ALIGNED with the other set of pages. I've not been able to figure out how to fix this. If anyone knows, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it! I’ve used this site many times and had a lot of fun with it. However, there is a problem with the PDFs that I can’t seem to fix.
