Basic Steps

Here are the steps for printing from Photo Print.

Start the Photo Print Application

Double click on the Photo Print application or launch it from the Doc. A new Photo Print window will automatically be opened.

Select the Paper Size

Choose the paper size in the main window. This will show the templates on the right side of the window that are available for that page size.

Note, when you print, the paper size you select here must match the paper size in the in the Page Setup dialog if you wish to print.

Create the Pages

Double click on one of the page layouts to add a new page to the page display. You may add as many pages as you like by continuing to double clicking on different layouts.

Drag and Drop Photos into the Picture Frames

Drag your photo from the Finder or from other programs like iPhoto into one of the frames on a page. Shown below is an example what it should look like after you drop a photo on a frame.

You can also paste in pictures by right-clicking on the desired picture frame and selecting the “Paste” contextual menu item.

Adjusting the Pictures

When a picture is initially dropped into Photo Print, it sizes and centers the picture to fit the picture frame. This may not be what you want, so Photo Print allows you to reposition, resize and filter the picture.

To reposition the picture:

Move the mouse cursor over the picture until it becomes the open hand cursor and then left-click-drag to reposition the picture.

To resize the picture:

Move the mouse cursor over the picture until it becomes the open hand cursor and then hold down the option key and left-click-drag in the vertical direction. The cursor will change to north-south arrows. The picture will scale bigger when you move the mouse down and smaller when you move mouse up.

Applying Filters

You can apply filters to a picture by bringing up the Filters floating window from the Image menu. See the Applying Filters section for more information.

Printing the Pages

Once you have your photos arranged as want them, you can simply click on the “Print” button or select the Print command from the File menu. When you print, empty pages will be skipped and the empty gray picture frames and page numbers will not be printed.
