In Photoshop Elements are supplied several layouts but none I want to us. For example I want print 6 photos on one single page and just nicely lined out.
How do I do this
Thanks for help
1. Make a new blank document the size you want to print. Its resolution should be around 300 pixels per inch (120 pixels per centimeter). Most printers can’t print all the way to the edge of the sheet, so it’s worth your time to find out the maximum printing area (check the manual).
2. Resize the photos you want to put on your page. Make them the size you want to print, at the same resolution as above.
3. Using the Move tool, drag each picture onto the blank page. Each becomes a new layer (open the Layers palette (choose Window>Layers) if it’s not already open). If you check "Auto-Select Layer" in the Options Bar, Elements will let you click and drag each image around without first selecting the layer it’s on.
4. Elements snaps the photos to the edge of the page as you get close to it. It does NOT snap pictures to each other as full Photoshop does. If you want to butt the pictures together, zoom in close and drag them into position.
If you want a uniform border between pictures, make a separate image that is a brightly-colored square the size of the border. Drag that onto the page and you can use it as a custom spacer between images. Drag it into contact with the edge of one photo, then drag the next photo over to touch the other edge of the square. When you’re done spacing your images, delete the layer with the square on it.
5. If you will be printing this page more than once, flatten the layers and save it for later use.
