I’m trying to print multiple photos on the same letter-size page using (for example) a 5×7 template. The Automate/Picture Package appears to print multiple copies of the same photo, I’m looking to take a folder of images (or selected browser images) and have them resize and arrange themselves for printing. Contact Sheet II won’t let me define the image size, only column and rows.

I’m sure there’s an easy solution to this that I’m missing.

Thanks!

Tim, not really an "easy solution" within PS, at least not that I’m aware of. I wish that Contact Sheet II were more configurable, too. Maybe someone else will chime in with some other solutions…

If you are in CS, the automate\contact sheet feature works great for this, but I don’t see a way to tell it exactly a certain size on each page. It is actually a script that is run on the folder you specify, so do you think maybe you could just edit the script to set the photo at a certain size, too?

You can use different images in picture package!
just clik on one image on your picture package preview page and you are able to import another one…

I didn’t know I could import different pictures into Picture Package and that does do the job. Thanks, I’ll use that solution.

However, this does seem like a hidden feature that could be more easily accessible. I have an older program called "HP Photosmart Photo Printing" that came with an old printer and does a pretty smooth job of this, I guess I was looking for a PS solution that slick.

Thanks again Pierre, your help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi Pierre – I can’t find a way to place different images. The usual method of multiple selection of CRTL Click does not work, and the final result is just four of the same photo. I tried clicking on the preview as each one was chosen, but that didn’t work either. Am I missing something?

Once the first image is chosen, click on the second one for instance, and you’ll be able to navigate to another one…

Nick: I learned today at About.com that it is possible to rename incrementally starting by a given number (when you use the batch rename): you need to type #017# to have three digits, but starting with 17… if you need only two digits, use #17#…

Learn something new everyday, after 10 years of addiction use of the program…

Need help on Photoshop 4.0

Photoshop 4.0 running on Windows 2000 with 30g hard drive gives the following error message when I try to print multiple pictures on the same page:

"There is not enough free space on the hard drive which contains your system folder to print the current multiple image document. Either choose a multiple image document with fewer copies of this image or free up more disk space on the hard drive containing your system folder."

I have almost 20g of free space on my hard drive. The message is diplayed whether I try only two pictures or more. Any help is appreciated.
