Print Multiple option

Post by Sandgroper »

I have PI 12 and PEX 8.6 and I very much like the "print multiple" option in PEX where I can print up to 6 different images on one page (with auto rotate for best fit). I cannot do this in PI 12. It would greatly enhance PI, in my opinion, if it could incorporate the same option.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the new version PI X3 doesn't even have a copy of PEX bundled with it anymore. Vista doesn't support it either which, IMHO, had something to do with Corel dropping PEX and GifAnimator.

You now get Corel Media One instead with PhotoImpact X3.

But does this Corel Media One permit you to print different photos on the same sheet?

In PI X3 it does seem to be possible to print different images on one sheet. If you go to Help and ask for "Print Layout", it says: "Using Print Layout, you can print the same image many times over or different images on a single page." You get more details when you click on "To print images:" (I haven't yet tried this out...)

They all look like "landscape images to me! Will it mix landscape and portrait images and rotate for best fit (as PEX does)

Here's a screenshot, where I'm using 2 portrait and 2 landscape images. Before you ask again about the Rotate for best fit, yes it obviously done this. Those images were not shot sideways, and are not sideways on my PC. With PE you have to select a box to have this done, MediaOne just does it..;)

Even if it doesn't, I honestly don't know if even PEX used to do that because I never print my images from within PI, would it be too much to ask of your valuable time to rotate them yourself?

Any special reason why you do not, Heinz? Do you get better results using another programme? I have always been happy to print directly from PI, and even more now that I know that it can print different frames on one and the same page. And, by the way, if necessary it automatically rotates an image; I haven't had to do any rotating myself to get the result shown in the image I (will hopefully succeed to) add to this message.

No particular reason why I don't print out of PI, I just like the features of my Canon printer driver better. Since I also use only genuine Canon photo paper, all necessary parameters are set by my printer driver. I don't need to worry about a thing. By the way, it will also rotate any images automatically when needed.

More often than not I am printing A4 size photo collages border less. It's simply creating the collage, saving it, opening my printer driver, setting the paper size and selecting the image to print from a list and I'm done.
