Photo placement when printing in PSE 8.0

In PSE 6.0 I was able to adjust where my 6X4 photo was positioned on an 8.5 X 11photo sheet to maximize the use of the paper. How is that done in PSE 8.0? It always centers the photo on the sheet and I cannot find the setting to change that.

No, you can't change it. This is one of the "improvements" in PSE 8. Create a new blank file the size of the paper you normally use for printing, at the resolution you normally use, and save this as your printing template. Then when you want to print, copy/paste the photo you actually want to print into this file and use the move tool to put it where you want it.

How might I get photos centered when printing? OS 10.7.5

How might I get photos centered when printing to Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 from OS 10.7.5? I either get a huge border on right for horizontal or on bottom for vertical.
Thank you,
Sheila

Thanks for that Lanny & Lex, What I have done so far has got me back to some extent.
My MacBook also has a login for my wife so I went there and copied Mail to a USB drive then back to my own login and dragged the mail app onto Desktop and put it into Applications. Then I was able to delete the original Mail app, which previously could not be done. My email is now working again via iCloud as previously. I still have to reinstall my gmail account but if that works then all is well.
I think your solution is the better one (more orthodox) and if I have further problems I will do as you suggest.
Thanks again, Richard S,

PS elements 6 - wrong photo orientation when printing

PS Elements 6 on Windows XP. Trying to print a 4x6 photo to an Epson PictureMate. On printing, PSE won't print full 4x6 page, and rotates it to the opposite direction of the printer settings.
Photo was shot, corrected and cropped in landscape orientation. When picturemate is set to Portrait, naturally PSE wants to print the photo on just the upper half of the page. If I change printer orientation to landscape, PSE rotates photo 90 degrees to print on the left half of the screen, (see screenshot below)
Once exported, the photo it prints fine, as a full page 4x6, via Windows Print Utility, but I'd prefer to not have to make 2 copies of every photo I want to print. Seems to be some miscommunication between PSE and printer.
Has anyone else had this problem? Google & forum searches were inconclusive.

Yes, I experienced this problem with 4x6 prints. I was unable to resolve the issue regardless of what settings I used. I didn't try to print, as the preview did not look right, and gave up. Ended up using PMB program that came with my camera to print on 4x6 prints. I have Adobe configured as it's external editor and simply save the edited photo from PSE6 and it shows up in PMB. Go back to PMB, find it and print it without issue. Sad, but true. It's a good thing I got PSE6 with my printer, as I would not have been happy spending money on it. I've seen beta freeware that works better in the basic stuff, but none really as good as Adobe's photo edit results (good algorthyms/filters). I would like to see just a "Photography" version without all the graphic artists crap. Remember "Elements" is basically a try before you buy the full version. If they made it too good, you would not want to get rid of it and upgrade to hopefully the "better" fully sized program LOL. The photo editing quality was already good before Adobe aquired the program, and since, they have repackaged them in "upgraded" GUI's. If you ditch the GUI of Adobe, and use the editing like myself with PMB, it works okay. What you will find is that because it's photography, software created for use is disfunctional in one way or another for every program and you have to purchase several, if not many, programs to achieve good results; uiltizing aspects of each of these programs that the other can not or will not do properly. It's all marketing and yes it's a scam to make as much money off a person's hobby to take and make quality photos, and print/publish, and business is good... greed is good

Iphoto 9.3.1 installed today is turning black and white photos orange when printed

Today I noticed my iphoto was for the first time unstable, presenting in some places black where photos shoud be. I found and installed the latest iphoto update (9.3.1 - 652.3) and found that when attempted to print black and white photos that I had just cropped using the iphoto's Edit page, that the image turned a dark orange. The same photos uncropped could be printed normally with out the orange appearing.
This appears to be a bug or an unstable new update. When I called Apple Care, we went through the process of restoring the original images stored elsewhere in the computer, but the problem continues.

This is iPhoto for iOS. You should post your question in the iPhoto for the Mac (iLife) forum to get better answers.

Color/tone of photo changes when printing...

I'm trying to print a photos for an invitation, its a black and white photo with a pink background. The black and white levels have been adjusted to a very light tone since I have to put vellum paper on top with the invitation wording... When I send the picture to be printed at the pharmacy photo lab the picture does not look the same as on my screen. Its always darker than the work I created. Am I saving this in the wrong format??? Should I try something different? Any tips will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Valerie V.G.
Using
*Windows Vista
*PSE7

Also, the best way to do this is not to adjust the black and white levels but to adjust the opacity of the image. You will need to make the background layer into a regular layer (double click it in the layers palette and say yes to the dialogs), then use the opacity slider to lighten it.
Or alternatively you could add multiply layers till you reach the required lightness, then flatten the image.

Keep recto/verso page placement when printing 'Multiple' pages on single sheet

Dear All,
my book is designed for duplex printing. Every chapter starts on recto (odd) page.
When I need to print it for proofreading in the multiple mode (2 pages on single sheet), pages do not follow the original intent as the first page is placed on the verso page (left half of the sheet), not recto one (right half). I couldn't find any option to place the first page on the recto 'side' in the Print dialog.
My current workaround is to place one blank page at the beginning of my PDF file.
But I'd like to avoid this manual step in the future. Is there a more efficient way?
Btw, it would be nice to add a single option for this into the Print dialog. It could be handy for everyone.
What is the best place for such kind of feature request?
Thanks, Jan

have no idea about what is wrong on your machine.
Here doing that I get a normal behavior:
You may try:
a - quit/close Numbers
trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers.pli st
empty the trash
restart Numbers.
b - try to do the job from an other user account
tell us how the beast behaves.

Printed photos from Aperture 3.2.1 have lines through them - don't get that when printing from iPhoto

I recently downloaded Aperture 3.2.1 and after editing a couple photos (love that process!), tried to print them. Both had horizontal lines across the entire photo. I don't have this problem when printing from iPhoto.
As an FYI, I have this problem when printing from PSE too, but worked around it by importing edited photo back into iPhoto and printing from there. I don't want to do that with Aperture, because they have much better printing choices.
I have a Canon MP 500 & a Canon IP 4300 - same issue with either one.
I contacted Canon tech support and got this reply:
We appreciate your correspondence regarding your PIXMA MP500. I am sorry that lines are printing through photos printed from aperture.
If aperture is the only program the issue occurs with then the print setting in aperture will need to be changed. You will need to use the icc profiles for the paper you are using. For details changing the print preferences in aperture please goto: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how-to-use-icc-color-printer-profiles-ap erture-3-canon.html
I looked at the link and basically had a brain freeze. It was very complex, and I was concerned that it was for Red River papers - I use HP paper.
I called HP to get their instructions for icc color printer profiles - complete zero. They said it's a printer issue and would be happy to sell me a HP printer.
Please, can anyone help a struggling Aperture newbie? I'm so frustrated.
Thanks - Jma

Hello Kirby,
Your recap is correct. I ran Apple Software Update and both programs are up to date. I looked on Canon's site and there are no new firmware updates for either printer.
When I select "print" in Aperture, I've selected the Canon MP500. Under the "Rendering" section, the color profile offers six different selections that include the MP500. I've tried them all. They all have lines through them. There is a note, in grey, beneath the Color Profile box, that says to "Turn off color management in the printer driver". I have absolutely no idea how to do that, and I've googled it, to no avail
Under "Render Intent" I've tried both selections - Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual. Still, lines through both.
This is really discouraging. Both printers work perfectly fine - with iPhoto, so it's hard for me to justify buying a new printer. And how do I know I wouldn't have the same problem with a new printer?
Fingers crossed that this can be resolved. I have several photos I'm supposed to be printing for gifts. And if the problem is in Aperture or PSE, won't the lines still be there even if I use one of the online printing companies?

Trouble with viewing font on spine of Photo book. I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the book itself when printed.

I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the photo book itself. When I preview the book it appears on the dustcover and the book, but not when I'm back in the creation or editing windows. I've printed 4 books in a series and two spines are one font size, and two others are a different font size. One of the books has a shortened title on the book spine.

The text on the spine will be the same text that is in the Title text box on the title page. You can change the font and style of that text just like you change any text in Aperture. Aperture will size and center the spine text for you
If you want the content or the font and style of the text to be different from your Title box text then you have to trick the program a bit. Put the text that you want in the spine into the Title text box and then move that box to a place on the page where it will not be visible when printed ( Y coordinate -1.0 inches for example). Don't move it too far away or it will be hard to get back to in order to make an edit. Then make a new text box on the title page and put the text you want on the cover in that. (Or make a book without text on the cover , but with text on the spine).
You are 100% correct in that you can not preview this unless you preview the printed book

How do I print more than one custom-size photo on a page in PSE 10?

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Photoshop Elements 10. I make greeting cards, and on PSE 6 I was able to print two custom-size (6-1/2” x 5”) cards on each 8-1/2” x 11” sheet of photo paper. The option to print more than one custom-size card on a single sheet of paper is not available in PSE 10. I want to know how I can print more than one custom-size card (or photo) on a page in PSE 10?

Photos do not print in Contacts (a.k.a. Address Book) when I am printing a group.

One of simple things that I have loved from the beginning with my iPhone and my iMac is that when I meet a new person, I can record their contact information in the Address Book on my iPhone and attached their photo to it. When I arrive home I am then able to sync my Contacts from my iPhone with my iMac. Then with my iMac, I am able to print an entire group from my Contacts (including all the individual information from the v-card - photos and all.) Creating a photo roster if you will. I love sharing these photo rosters (by making a PDF copy) with others.
After updating to Snow Lion is appears that function is gone! I highlight all the members in the group from my Contact, then File>Print. It list in the dialog box that I can check photos but when I do it does not show any of the photos from the Contacts in the print preview window. It is so odd because I can see their photos in my Address Book / Contacts on my iMac but I can not print them with the other information with the Contact
Please help me! I really miss this features. I have gone into preferences and I can not see what maybe causing the problem. I have never had this issue with the previous three version of OSX. I have stopped syncing my contacts with iCloud but I am still unable to print groups of members with their photos. In fact I am unable to print from my iMac any one individual contact with their photo.
Please help me. Thank you for reading my request.

Is there no one who knows how to solve this problem? It really would be a great help!

Hi -
I can't tell from your post which specific jam you are experiencing.
I found the following on the HP.com support web site at
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01450544&jumpi...
On this page are a lot of possible jam causes and solutions. This one is a description I think sounds similar to your report.
Common causes of jams
Cause: When printing on lightweight paper or on jobs with heavy toner coverage, paper is wrapping on the fuser causing Fuser Delay Jam or Fuser Wrap Jam messages.
Solution: Set the LIGHT MEDIA optimize mode on the Print Quality menu to ON .
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I have a Mac with OS 10 5.8 and a new HP Pro 8500 Premier Printer. When printing, how do I change the print option from photo paper to plain or inkjet? This is a serious problem and HP tells me it is a problem with Firefox, that they are getting several

I used to be able to choose print options with Firefox and now I can't. It forces me to use photo paper when I want only to use plain paper. I do not have this problem with Safari or IE, just firefox. I have an office jet 4500 HP printer

I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

Photos look great edited in LR 3 but extremely grainy when printed

I said I would take photos at a friends wedding and now I just want to cry.
I edited raw photos in LR3 - they look great in LR. I export them to a folder and they still look great on a large screen. But then I sent them off to print. It wasn't so much the colours that annoyed me it was the grain and sharpening in the photo, it looks terrible. I only realised this after I gave her the photos on disk and she spent money printing 1000 crap photos...
I have never had this issue before. I am just doing a light edit - small crop on some, don't know if its the export process.
I have played around and what seems to work is moving the luminance to close to 85-100 and sharpening to 0. I just want to know is that right do it it that way or am I missing a major thing.
When I do an export from lightroom. Its jpeg format sRGB, quality - 80, resolution 240
This bit I am unsure of...I have ticked sharpen output as set for matte paper, amount - standard.
If anyone could help me out soon I would really appreciate it, as it would save me using a lot of tissues as I am quite frustrated.

I have attached 3 photos.
When I took the photos I shot as both raw and jpeg. I have attached the following:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5ebbdi4o3u14wk3/CZWB8wJcce/Grainy%20Photos?lst
a.. the original raw photo
b.. the jpeg that came with it (as is out of the camera)
c.. the final edited jpeg
d.. A screen print of the image uploaded to printing lab (It will look grainy around the hair line...but that's the problem)
I have played around a fair bit. All looks great in LR and when I get out of LR and open them up full screen out of windows explorer they look good too.
It was only when the bride complained about the blurriness, I then tried uploading the final high resolution file to RGB Digital Labs that you could see how bad they were.
Last night I was playing around and I tried uploading the jpeg straight out of the camera to RGB labs and that too was bad. So I am starting to think would it be the camera, but then again when they look so good after editing why would they look bad at print time. Photo was taken at f$ 1/200 shutter speed and ISO 320 (so it’s not like I didn’t have light) I had a flash as well
I think I am going to have a mental breakdown!!!
So far from what I have found to get the picture looking ok Sharpness is “0”and luminance is set to 100 – so too extremes which just does not seem right, I have never had to do this before.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Sara

How do I find offending photo when there is a problem uploading photos to order prints?

In iphoto, when I click on Print, the preview image it shows me is an enlarged section of my photo. I cropped the photo and checked with no restraints. Once the photo goes to Print, I can't fix it back to the way it is in iphoto.
