printing different images on one sheet of A4 in CS3 photoshop HOW

Magic_x_uk · 3 Aug 2011 at 08:36

Seriously.

How hard can this be.!!!!!

All I want to do is put a few different images onto a sheet of A4 photo paper, all resized to 6x4 and print.

Impossible. Spent last hour on Photoshop cs3 and still cant do it, it keep changing the size, screwing it up.

This should be something easy to do. We all want at times to just put some photos onto a sheet of A4 paper, print out and then cut to fit our photo frames.

But oh no. Something this is easy is impossible.

Anyone help please

Doing my nut in, really is, Mouse has flew across room twice so far.

Tried the contact sheet wizard? Or just manually lay out a grid and position the pics.

1. Create new image of desired size/DPI.
2. Copy source image, paste into image (Automatically comes in as new layer)
3. Ctrl+T and resize with drag handles, esc to cancel resize, enter to commit resize.
4. Pick Drag tool from toolbar (Small cursor and 4 way compass/arrow icon or shortcut letter V) move to desired position
5. Repeat Steps 2 to 4 for every image you want to insert
6. Save image
7. Print image

Okay got that bit Sin Chase. But when resizing. How do I get it so it is for eg 6x4 or 7x5 ?

thanks you really have helped.

When in transform mode, there should be width and height boxes on the top toolbar. Right click these and change to inches, mm or whatever.

No there is nothing like that

just have this

W = width, H = height. Right-click the 100% and it'll give an option of changing the measurement value.

got it finally. 5 sheets of wasted papar, god knows how much ink, But thanks guys. Finally sorted it.

Just couldnt work out how to change sizes. Finally got it, looking at that photo i posted. if you click on the for eg: W=100.0% I can then change to different units.

thats what fox'd me.

Now i have run out of one of the ink cartridges.

If I were you, I'd buy some 6x4 photo paper too.

XP's native photo viewer could print out 6x4s on an A4 sheet. Not sure if Vista and 7 have the same options.

For single prints/images you can specify image size when you do File > New also

You also want to up to DPI from the default 'screen' setting of 75DPI for photo printing.
