One way to accomplish this is by using the picture package option, but I personally don’t like to use it. I’m assuming that you are wanting to put several different images on a single page.

First, I would make sure that all images are the same resolution.

Next, create a new blank document that is the same resolution as your individual images and large enough to hold all of your images.

With the new blank document open, open each individual picture. Choose the move tool and click on each individual image and drag it onto your blank document. Each image will be placed on its own layer. So if you want to move the images around on the new document it will be necessary for you to open the layer pallette so that you will be able to choose whichever layer it is that you want to move.

If you want to change the size of an image after you have put it on your blank document, you can click on the image and then choose the resize option from the menu to adjust the individual images.

Ing,

For multiples of the same image, use File, Print Layouts, Picture Package. For multiple prints on the same page of different images, there are various methods.

You can use PhotoMerge for one way.

You can: A) open the images you wish to have one the one print sheet; B) Check each to be sure they all have the same resolution, preferably without Resampling; C) Select one image and go to Image, Resize, Canvas Size and make the canvas size 7.5" x 10" for portrait or 10" x 7.5" for landscape (this allows for your printer’s No Print area) and place the center square (this image position) to the upper left; D)now use the Move Tool (arrow cross) and Drag n Drop each of the other images onto this enlarged canvas and position as you’d like. Rather than resizing (never larger, in any case), if you wish to "fit" images, Crop them prior to Drag n Drop is best. Now Print. No need to Save unless you believe you’d like to use this same set of images for later prints.

Or, if you’d like to make a template just: File, New and make the custom canvas 7.5" x 10" and do the same thing with images (being sure they all are the same resolution, thus physically will stay the same size as their current view).

You can certainly use the picture package to make images of mutlitple images, too. Just click on the image in the picture package and use the file browser to find the picture you’d like to add to your sheet. Real easy.

Tony,

You are correct in that you CAN use Picture Package, but it’s not quite that easy. The is no option to ADD images to the Picture Package, but once you’ve made multiples of the one image (and are sure that the images you wish to add are the same resolution), you can then manipulate the multiples of the same image and replace them with the additional images. To do this actually is like enlarging the canvas of one image, but has more steps using Picture Package.
