Using Picture Package Layouts with More Than One Photo


Although the Picture Package feature is most often used for printing one photo multiple times on the same page, you can substitute different photos in different positions, and you can customize their location. Here's how:

Step One

Once you have the Picture Package dialog open (see previous tutorial), click the Add button (near the bottom left-hand corner of the dialog) to add additional photos from the Photo Browser, Catalog, etc., until you have a row of thumbnails appearing down the left side of the dialog. Make sure the Fill Page With First Photo checkbox (found on the right side of the dialog, just below Select a Frame pop-up menu) is turned on.

Step Two

To add a new photo to your Picture Package layout, just click on the image's thumbnail on the left and drag-and-drop it onto the preview area in the center of the dialog on the position you want it to appear. (Note: As you drag, you'll notice a highlight around the preset picture positions in the preview window.)

Step Three

If you want to move a photo to another position, just click directly on the photo in the preview area and drag it to a new position. It will automatically resize if necessary.

Step Four

You can have as many different photos as you have positions in your layout, so just continue dragging-and-dropping thumbnails from the left side of the dialog into position within the preview area.

Step Five

If you'd prefer to just have all your imported photos appear on the page at once (rather than dragging-and-dropping them), turn off the Fill Page With First Photo checkbox and all imported photos on the left of the dialog will automatically flow into place.
