Step Three:
Let's say you printed that tall, three-image
layout you created in Step One for a client.
A month or so goes by, and they email you
to ask for a reprint. You think, “Great—
no problem—I'll just go back to that col-
lection and it will remember the layout.”
So, you click on that collection, and sure
enough, it remembered the layout, but
(here's the gotcha) it doesn't remember
which three photos you used in that layout
(instead, it just shows you one photo—
whatever the first one in the Filmstrip for
that collection happens to be, like you see
here). So now what do you do? Have the
client take a photo of the layout and email
it to you, so you can see which three pho-
tos you used, and their order and position
in each cell? See? It's a pretty big gotcha.
Step Four:
Here's how you avoid all this: Once you
make a print, and you're happy with the
final image (and all your output settings),
click on the Create Saved Print button
that appears in the top-right corner of
the center Preview area. This brings up
the Create Print dialog (shown here). The
key thing here is to make sure the Include
Only Used Photos checkbox is turned on.
That way, when you save this new print
collection, only the three photos that
are actually in this print are saved in it
(you'll be able to tell it's a print collec-
tion, because its icon in the Collections
panel looks like a little printer). So, click
the Create button, and then, from now
on, when you click on that print collec-
tion, you'll see the layout, just the way
you designed it, with the images already
in place ready to go, including all your
output settings (like which printer you
printed to, your sharpening and resolution
settings—the works!).
