photoshop pic package
Doing picture package in photoshop but seems the photos are all too close together. Need to have slight space between each picture to cut them out. Is there a way to do this w/ PS or what program would work better? Seems as if it should work. Any ideas?

Howdy

Can't see why it would not work although I have not tried it myself...took a quick look..lots of settings to look through and no time right now...sorry... but...

Here's a pretty cool little freebie you might look at... it works great

If your printer does borderless photos just make a new file the size of the paper and set it for color with a white background. Crop the individual pictures to the size you want them printed and drag them into the file. You can space them anyway you want. If your printer is an older one that doesn’t do borderless you have to make the new file the size of the printable area or set up a grid.

I don’t usually print 4 X 6 as I start with 3:4 digital images. The right ratio for a 4 inch tall photo is 4 X 5 1/3 to not have to crop off the top and bottom. You can fit 4 of those on a piece of 8.5 X 11 paper. I put the photos in the corners so that two sides of each don’t need trimming, which leaves a little space between them.

There might be a simple way to do it in the photo package. I have never printed a photo I don’t tweak in some way or another and it is easier for me to drag it into a file. You have to make the file only once as you can go back to open in the history after the printer spools.

When you are in Picture Package, click on Edit Layout. Click on any of the photos to get handles. Grab a handle and slightly shrink the size of the photo. Example: two 5X7 show in Picture Package - you shrink one of the photos to 4.89. This results in space between the two photos. Click Save if you want these new dimension saved.

Thanks all, I don't have borderless prints now, Just ordered Olympus 440 though, I opted for Bucks route w/ arcsoft 2.0 d-l and then remembered I had purchased the 4.0 version a while ago and that seems to do the trick. Thanks again!!

Your welcome warmheart52

good deal gooley...

say that three times fast...

pretty cool little program..as slipe mentioned I don't print anything before I tweak it alittle but once there tweaked you can print different sizes on the same page and have different pictures on the same page...

have fun

buck
