How to print multiple pics on one A4 page?

[WhiteD3]

I want to print a series of pics, scaled to 50mm x 50mm pics, on A4 photo paper, maximising the number of pics per page. PSE7 will do multiple prints (called "Picture package") but the pic sizes are predefined in PSE7.

Irfanview does not appear to do this at all.

In the past I've formated the pics, pasted them into a Word doc, etc but there must be an easier way?

Cheers.

I'm a little rusty with PSE but you should be able to print a contact sheet and tell it how many rows and columns of images per page.

if its a windows machine select all pics you want to print from the directory and hit print, it will then pop up the windows print menu for pictures.

very handy for bulk thumbnail printing and about the only thing microsnot got right

You can, but the actual images size is set to a selection of 6 predefined sizes.

Ok tried Google. Clicky: Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 * Print multiple photos (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/7.0_Win/WSae2ea3b149d0c3591ae939f103860b3d59-7f13.html)

In Irfanview go into thumbnails, select the pics you want and then go contact sheet, I don't see how to select them at 50x50 but you can select X columns by Y rows for the sheet. - a bit of experimenting should get you what you want.

Thanks Derek. The problem with PSE in doing this is that you can print multiple pics per page but you cannot define the size of each pic beyond those default settings.

I have though figured it out (after getting a hint from the net).

In the editor open the pics I want to print.
Open a new, blank pic.
Show the ruler.
Drag the first pic into the blank. Resize against the ruler, then position on the blank.
Do this for each pic then print the blank. Works a treat.:D

........and why is this important you ask? My Grandmother's 99th birthday and she wants pics of all the grand, greatgrand and, in 6 months time, greatgreatgrandkids:eek:

Can you create a Load Files into a Stack in PSE7? Be under Files>Scripts menu possibly.

This is a script in PS CS3 that let's you import lot's of images into layers and then you can manipulate them to your hearts content.

Did a quick search through the pdf help file; looks like no.

Oh well. Might be too late but there is other software that will do this. ViewNX from Nikon is one that works with any JPEG, NEF or TIFF files.

I would also try Picassa - just select all the images and then press the collage button - from there you can do what ever you want - resize, rotate etc. Plenty of other nice effects as well

Just use the standard powerpoint software in MS Office - create a blank presentation then insert your pics where you want and the size you want. You can rotate etc.
