How to print panorama in 3 panels

Is there a way to print a panorama (or any wide picture) in 3 separate prints so that when they're place next to each other horizontally, the 3 prints make up the one original picture? Is there a template for doing this?

If you want to print from Lightroom-Classic, there is a work-around method to make (2, 3 or more) Virtual Copies of the Panorama, Crop each one differently, print all VCs, trim exact (knife), paste together.

The Photoshop 'Slice' would be more accurate.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

The trick is to use the slice tool. There are many tutorials online. Here is the first one I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKWsCz2OINU

Or this:

There are also macros you can find online to do the slicing for you.

There is no template in Classic to do this. It's fairly easy to do in Photoshop and some print services offer it as a standard service.

Thank you. I'm familiar with and use Photoshop to edit photos. Can you tell me how to print the 3 in Photoshop?

Hi,

Here's one tutorial here that shows how to split a picture in multiple parts in Photoshop and create an action to automate the process:

The follow-up video explains or to create a Photoshop "droplet" so you can run that action automatically when exporting a picture from LrC:

Hope that helps,
