Help! Picture Package playing up...

[hal79]

Hi all,

Fairly typical first post, looking for help... :p

I'm using Photoshop CS, and am *trying* to use the picture package function.

What I'm wanting to do is print four 2.6 x 3.6 inch pics (strange sized frame that I bought without realising, d'oh) on one piece of 6x8 (the cheap option from the local print shop).

I've set up my custom pic package, that was easy enough. However, I'm encountering a problem when I put pics in - they're not filling up the whole 2.6x3.6 area - there's a border being left to the top & bottom. I've tried resizing the pics I'm putting in so that they're exactly the right size, but still the border.

I'm wondering if it's maybe a resolution issue, but I wouldn't know how to straighten that out and get all the pics the same resolution yet...

All help very gratefully received - the pics are an additional birthday pressie for my boyfriend, that I promised I'd print out for him, so I've gotta get it right soon! :D

Hi and Welcome!

From the menu, under Image > Resize > Image Size you can view and change the resolution. If you're printing the images, they should be at least 300 resolution. Make sure all boxes are checked if changing resolution.

One way around getting odd sized images to print on a certain size is to create a new blank document at the same resolution and the total size of the print job. Then drag your images onto the blank document and arrange them so they fit. You may have to rotate one or more of them to fit them on. Then send that document to the printer. If you need more detailed instructions, just ask. Good luck!
