Photography Question

Photo Pages from Large Picture Files


Can I print small photos such as wallet size from a 1 or 2 megapixel picture without having them look scruched up?

  Yes. What photo editing program are you using?

  I have Adobe Photoshop elements that came with my Epson 1280 printer but I haven't used it yet. I just tried printing photo sheets with Hotshots and they don't turn out crisp enough.

  I haven't used Elements for a long time and when I did it wasn't extensively. In Photoshop under File/Automate there is an option called Picture Package where you can have Photoshop assemble an 8x10 sheet with wallets. You just set the Page Size to 8x10. Set the Layout to 2.5x3.5. Set the resolution to 250 or 300 depending on what works best for you printer or lab. Leave the mode RGB and click OK. Photoshop does the rest. Once it's done then you need to make the image view 100% and sharpen it.
