you included more photos than could fit on one page, then Elements creates a separate
file for each page.
Picture Packages
You can also print a group of pictures on one page. You can make packages that feature one
photo at several different sizes, or packages that include more than one photo. Here's how:
1. In the Editor, go to File Picture Package .
You can also start from either the Editor or the Organizer by going to Create→Photo
Prints→Print Picture Package, though you end up in the same Picture Package win-
dow in the Editor.
You don't need to select any photos first, but you may want to open photos in the Ed-
itor before starting, since the Picture Package dialog box, like the Contact Sheet dia-
log box, ignores the Organizer. So it's often simplest to open the photos or collect
them into a folder to make them easy to find before you start this process.
2. Choose your photo(s) .
The Picture Package dialog box's Use drop-down menu is where you select the pic-
tures you want in the package. If you choose lots of files, Elements adds as many
pages as necessary to fit them all in. You can use a single file, a folder of photos, the
frontmost open photo, or all open photos. Elements starts by filling the entire layout
with copies of one photo, but you can change that in step 4 if you want more than one
image per page.
3. Choose your page size and layout settings .
Elements gives you lots of options:
Document . This is where you pick the overall settings for the package. You can
set the page size (12″ x 18″, 8″ x 10″, 10″ x 16″, or 7.5″ x 10.9″), layout (how
many photos appear on one page and their sizes), resolution, and whether to use
RGB or grayscale color mode (see Selecting a Color Mode ). The Flatten All Lay-
ers setting works the same way as it does for contact sheets (see step 3 on Contact
Sheets ). The page size options are all photo paper sizes, but you can print the 8″ x
10″ layout on standard 8 ½″ x 11″ paper.
