A.3. Printing

How many things can go wrong when you print? Let us count the ways.

A.3.1.

A.3.1.1. I can't print more than one photo per page. It seems like a waste to use a whole sheet of paper for one 4 x 6 print.

Check the following:

  • Have you, in fact, selected more than one photo to print?

  • Choose File Page Setup. Make sure the paper size is US Letter (or whatever paper youve loaded). Click OK.

  • Choose File Print. From the Presets pop-up menu, choose Standard; from the Style pop-up menu, choose N-Up; then choose a number from the "Photos per page pop-up menu. (Make sure "One photo per page" is turned off.) You'll now see all of your selected images side by side in the Preview pane. They're ready to print.

A.3.1.2. My picture doesn't fit right on 4 x 6, 5 x 7, or 8 x 10 inch paper.

Most digital cameras produce photos in a 4:3 width-to-height ratio. Unfortunately, those dimensions don't fit squarely into any of the standard print sizes.

The solution: Crop the photos first, using the appropriate print size in the Constrain pop-up menu (see Section 6.5.1).
