photographic question

Legacy_user

It has been over a year now since I attempted to print a photo or two. When I transfer photo's to the computer, they go to Picasa2, a suite a prefer. I have a few others on my comp, all freebies, but they might as well be removed. Anyway, within picasa, there are a number of pics that with a bit of cropping and enlarging, might be usefull for family etc.

However after preparing an ideal pic for printing, I waste an a4 sheet with the one pic. Ideally I'd like to be able to somehow lift them and arrange several on one sheet. Is this something I can do on a free editing suite and if so, can it be done easily.

Try downloading this package which is free. Picasa is not really a photo editor!

If you want to do this in Picasa use the mouse and the ctrl key to select a number of photos, click on print and you will be given various layout choices.

I use Irfanview to crop etc my pics but I think it is similar to Picasa. If I want to print two on a page I use my printer to sort out the size. I click 'file' and 'print' and the window that comes up gives me 'size' options and shows how the finished object will look. I then print that one and when it is dry I turn the paper round and do the same on the other side. (Not very slick but effective) If I want to print more than one pic on a page I use a 'word' document and 'insert' the pictures and move them around after giving the document minimum margins etc.

why not download Gimp? I use photoshop, but all you have to do is open a blank canvas and drag your images onto it?
