...and your question is?
how to print multiple pictures on 1 page?
if so, what i do is
let's say you wanted to print 2 4x5 pictures on one page
resize, edit etc each of the pictures (separately of course) to a 4x5 size
open each picture
in picture 1, go to:
image
canvas size
change width to 8.25 (so you have some cutting room)
click on the left arrow (to add the extra space to the right of the existing picture - goofy, but that's how PS does it)
click OK
you now have a 8.25 width
- the orig picture, plus white space on the right
with picture 1 still open
go to picture 2
r-click, select all
copy
(or choose 'select', then 'all', then edit, copy)
return to picture 1 (full window is best for this)
paste
picture 2 will paste on top of picture 1
r-click, free transform - pictue is 'framed' by transform lines
drag picture 2 over to the right
align it properly, leave a little cutting room in between for after printing
press enter
if it looks ok
layer
flatten image
you now have 2 pictures side by side
***save as*** someother name so you don't overwrite the original picture 1
(best to work with copies just in case, save the originals
i usually save as .tiff so resaving doesn't degrade quality like happens with .jpeg)
go to
file
print with preview
now you can uncheck "center image"
scale should be 100%
and reduce the top margin to 0
ready to print!
your printer may give a "too big, some cropping may occur" error message
i've always ignored these with no ill effects
experiment a bit, but this works for me
can even fill a whole sheet with different pictures to minimize wasted photo paper
hint: to test, use plain paper and set printer to b&w to give an idea how it'll look
the above assumes 8.5 x 11 photo paper
