Print multiple photos on one page to printer

I have both 09 and 11 iPhoto. This is a very easy method and I hope it is not printer dependent.

From and album or event, select the photos you want on a single page. In this example, I will print 4 photos. Note that the orientation must be the same for all photos.

Click on 'File' , 'Print' from the menu bar. The following window should appear:

From the drop-down menu next to 'Print Size' select the appropriate print size for each photo on the page. In this example, 3x5 is the correct size.

Click on 'Print' to print print what is shown in the setup window.

This is a detailed set of instructions I made for my mother to use. Hope it helps.

If you want 3 per sheet where 1 takes-up 1/2 of the space, and two split the other 1/2, then you can print multiple photos of different sizes on the same page:

1) Select the images you want to print (this might be easier if you place them in a temporary album specifically for this print project)

2) Select Print

3) Select one of the customizable formats (Simple Border, Simple Mat, Double Mat)

4) Click Customize

5) Click the "Layout" button at the bottom

6) Select the three photos per page

7) Select the layout

Not exactly what the OP is looking for, but it may be "good enough"

For several photos on one page I use the following procedure: I mark the photos, then I create a Photo Book and create one page with the photos (maximal 16 photos/page depand on the choosen book type, details see /www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage). After this I save the book as PDF and open the PDF-Book in Preview to print the appropriate page. Not so easy and a little time consuming, but it works.

You can always drag your pictures to you word processing page. Resizing is as easy as point, click, drag. Set you printer paper media and quality for photo paper of your choice and quality high. Prints are no worse than the ones printed with iphoto. Thisis to easy to do. USe the measurments on the side and across top to help with sizing. Couldn't be any simpler.

print multiple photos on one piece of 8 1/2 X 11 paper in my own printer at home. I want to choose the size of each picture (like one 4X6 and two wallets on one page.

Your method doesn't do what the OP wants.

And why not? I have done literally hundreds of times in my scrap booking. Please explain to me why you think this doesn't work or in some way help the OP. Each picture can be sized to your specs and an entire 8 1/2 x11 page can be filled up. They asked how to Fill that size paper with photos of their size choice. I am baffled.

Are you referring to doing it from withing iPhoto's print process or in a 3rd party word/text editor. If it's in iPhoto post a screenshot of a single 8.5 x 11 page with one 4X6 and two wallets on one page in iPhoto's print window. Maybe you can teach an Old Toad a new trick.

I have just copied photos from iPhoto by photographing them using command, shift and 4, then opened Word and chose blank document. I then transferred the photos to the blank document and they have come out on photo paper beautifully.
