Tiling - Poster Finishing

The poster finalization is represented by 4 buttons:

 

Load / Save

These buttons respectively load an existing configuration or save the configuration you have just set.

When you click on Load… or Save…, the file selection pop-up opens to allow you to search and Load an existing configuration or Save, in the opened folder, the current configuration.

  Info

It is also possible to import configurations saved in the old Tiling module.

 

Poster creation

The poster creation allows you to create, for each tile, images that are automatically loaded in the ImageBar and then can be printed. By clicking on the Create Poster… button, you open the following window to choose the poster creation conditions.

You can choose between:

  • Create all tiles: it will send all the tiles of the poster that are not disabled in the ImageBar
  • Create selected tiles: only the tiles that you have selected in the preview and that are not disabled will be created.

In both cases, if all the selected tiles or all the tiles are disabled, you will not be able to create the poster and the following message will be displayed:

When you click on Create new poster, a thumbnail of the whole poster is created in the image bar with a little “+” on the top corner right. It indicated that it could be open to display the tiles.

Each tile has the COMP label and is processed like a composite image. When only one tile is created, the poster thumbnail is not created with it.

The option Show tiles in the ImageBar will automatically open the poster thumbnail to directly display the tiles in the image bar when they are created.

The poster creation does not close Tiling+. You are then able to make all the changes you want on the poster. After that, if the previously created poster is still in the image bar when you click on Create Poster, you can see a new button: Modify current Poster. If you click on it, it will replace the previous poster with the new one.

 

Assembly guide

The assembly guide is a PDF file where all the poster and tile information is written. White and overlap details are also indicated here.

You can easily create it by clicking on the Assembly Guide… button. It opens the following pop-up:

Here you can choose:

  • The page format between: A4, A3, LetterUS and LegalUS
  • The page's resolution in dpi. By default, the resolution is set at 72dpi.

Then click on Generate, then select the location where you want to save the PDF file.
