Friends, I'm a newb here and new to Photo Paint x4, which I just picked up today. I've figured much on my own playing around with it today, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to print multiple images. For example if I want to print several different images on 4x6 photo paper, how would I go about setting it all up?. Jasc has this option, but I don't see anything like this in Corel.  Anybody?

Thanks!!!

Open all the files you want to print (within sane limits of course!). In
the print dialogue you will then be offered something like "current
document" and documents (can't remember exact wording). Select the
documents you want printed from that dialogue, would suggest you check
the full previews before printing, and then, of course, print.

Note that in many cases you can even print multiple documents on one
sheet of larger paper after using the imposition routines at print time
-- that can be very handy and saves some money if you have a good cutter.

you're not toally clear if by "print several different images on 4x6 photo
paper" you mean you're wanting to print a collage/blend the images together
kind of a thing or if you mean you want something like several separate
images with borders on a 4x6 so you can cut them down (like wallet sized
photos). Could you elaborate on exactly what you want to do?

Thanks for the response, friends. Hunter, what I'm doing is making license plates for model cars and printing them on 4x6 photo glossy paper.....or shall I say trying to.  I've not had a chance to follow up on what Paul commented on above, but if you can add to it, keeping in mind that I'm not real savvy with Corel Photo Paint, feel free to do so. I'll be messing with things again tonight.

And Paul, thanks for your input.

Paul, I have attempted to do as you stated above, opening the print dialogue box,  selecting documents and then checking all images.  I can then go to preview where I see one image on a single printable page. I put together three images and see all three images on individual pages. What I need is all three images on one page. Surely this is possible, but I just cannot seem to figure it out. Can you, or for that matter, any one advise?

Regards,

John

On the print preview, examine the items on the left side. (The second)
is the imposition -- once there, specify how many items are to be left
to right and top to bottom. There are numerous other items available in
the options across the top (e.g. gutter,etc.)

You can even select the order of printing from the preview shown (e.g.
you can change the "page" from `1 2 3 4 5 6 to 1 1 2 2 3 3 to print two
of each if there are 3 "pages" going in and you are printing 6 up.

The imposition routines are so powerful that it is well worth exploring
all the options. The attachment shows a somewhat customized example
where I changed the overall layout to print pp 1 to 6 and 3 extra of
page 2. This happens to be a Corel Draw imposition, but PP is identical
- (just a little harder to figure out which is "page" 2 or whatever as
you are dealing with "documents" instead of pages.
