After struggling, I went into photoShop, mask off the top half of the pic, saved it then inversed it and saved the bottom half. I then imported both fiels into Corel, matched them point to point and put a cut line around it. I then selected the top half and the cut line and sent it to print. When it was done it goes back to the exact same spot that it started at. I then selected the bottom half and the cut line and sent it again to print. So it cut twice but Viola! A beautiful pic with no seam.
At that size, what DPI was your image set at?
Just a suggestion....try saving the image at between 108 and 125 dpi (in TIF or BMP format). Do a test print and compare the image to the one you just printed. I'll bet you won't find much difference in appearance and a much smaller file size.
I have another one that I have to do. Customer created a nice little sun burst for their tanning salon. He did it in some little program but now I have to blow it up to 84" to put on their sign.
