Print position and borders on custom package

I have 2 questions related to the print module
1- I have searched the web and couldn't find any indication of precise positioning options for cells (photos). When looking at the lrtemplate file, it seems like the position is driven by "bounds" and the parameters for AgMutableRect looks like (x start, y start, x end and y end). Units for bounds, imageHeight and imageWidth in this case are 72 * inch value (not sure if this is always true). I have tried modifying bounds values directly in the file and then open the template in lightroom and it worked. My question is what are "cellScreenBounds" and "cellTemplateScreenBounds" used for and what are the parameter values (and units)?
cells = {
        anchored = true,
        bounds = AgMutableRect( 85.347767253045, 77.163734776725, 805.34776725304, 797.16373477673 ),
        cellScreenBounds = AgMutableRect( 24, 21, 229, 227 ),
        cellTemplateScreenBounds = AgMutableRect( 5, 5, 55, 54 ),
        imageHeight = 720,
        imageWidth = 720,
        page = 1,
2- The next question is is it possible to have 2 outer borders, one very thin black and one large white -> on a white background? When trying from lightroom print module, it seems like the photo border is always the same color as the background color, only inner border can have a different color. Again, I have found those parameters in the lrtemplate file and  AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) seems to be white and  AgColor( 0, 0, 0, 1 ), seems to be black ... Anyone who knows what the parameters represent?
    imageBorderColor = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
    innerStrokeBorder = true,
    innerStrokeColor = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
    innerStrokeWidth = 18.084,
    lockToPhotoAspectRatio = false,
    metadataFontSize = 10,
    numLayoutPages = 1,
    oneImagePerPage = true,
    pageBackgroundColor = AgColor( 0, 0, 0, 1 ),
    pageBackgroundColorActive = true,
To give you some background, this is what I'm trying to do -> Create a custom picture package to export as a jpeg to print as a 12x12 photo. On the picture package, I want to place (precise position) a few photos that will overlap, each with a big white border around the photo and a thin black border to frame the photo (so starting from center it would be -> photo, big white border, thin black border, white background)
Thanks

Thank you for the reply Rob
There is no Avery template in the list that has 24 labels, which is why I was using the Custom Label
I have tried many variations trying different widths and gaps between the labels, but in all cases by the time the 8th row is printeed the printing has crept up and is now overlapping onto the bottom of the 7th row label. The third column is printing on the gutter between the 2nd and 3rd column.
When creating a Custom label it would appear that the Wizard works on Letter size Paper regardless of the paper size that the printer is set to. All my printers are set to A4 size paper.
Letter Paper is 215.9mm x 279.4mm compared to 210mm x 297mm for A4. While the width is not a problem the length is less, and that may well be what is causing the problem when the Wizard creates the labels, despite changing the Paper size to A4. But the paper size can only be changed and set to A4 after the wizard has been given the label size and spacing for margins and gutters.
In my view the Wizard should ask for the paper size and then ask for the label size settings and layout

  • Print Position PSE 8

    I've recently installed PSE 8 and am having difficulty changing print position on the Print page. I previously used PSE 6 and it was very simple to uncheck the Center box under Print Position and have the capability of moving the photo around on the page prior to printing. All the margins were all shown. Am I just overlooking this option with PSE 8?

    I am with all the other guys.   another step is not what this product should be providing.  I thought it was suppose to make things simpler and easier. not adding steps for those of us who found elements to do 90% plus of what photoshop does.  I have 150 plus images all set up to print with a deeper bottom.   PSE used to remember the previous position on the page.  what do I do now?
    I have sent in my comments to adobe.

  • [SOLVED] Can Pacman Manage My Custom Packages

    I am going to make a custom build of MPlayer because I want it patched to take advantage of the Compiz Video plugin.  I think I might enable a couple other options that are disabled as well.  The thing I'm not sure of is how pacman will react to my package.  I know I can install it with pacman, but when a new official MPlayer package is released in the repos, will it update it and override my custom package?  If so, I thought it might help if I changed the package name, but then I thought that might mess up dependency tracking.  For instance, if I make a custom package of which other packages rely on, will those other packages be able to see mine and list the dependency as fulfilled?
    Basically I want a way for my system to see my custom package as something that can fulfill dependencies for other official packages that might rely on that particular program.  But at the same time I don't want it overridden when a new official package comes out since it likely won't contain the options I want enabled.  If it would give a message indicating a new version is available but not install it, that would really help.  Is this possible, and what would be the best way to handle this?

  • Unable to save a Z-Tcode in Custom Package,unable to assign a transport Req

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a T-code for standard SAP Program RSTXPDFT4. I was able to successfully create a T-code for this report program which has selection screen.
    But I created it as a Local Object.
    Now I am trying to create another T-code for the same SAP standard program in our custom package used in our company called /ABCDE/FGH01.
    But it does not allow me to save the T-code in this custom package and throws an error saying
    u201CCustomer Object Z_TCODE cannot be assigned to package /ABCDE/FGH01 u201D.
    Why am I unable to save it in a custom package and assign a transport request for it, Is it because I am creating t-code for standard SAP program? If I try to save it as local object I donu2019t get any error and it works perfect. But my actual requirement is to make the object transportable and save in custom package.
    Some one please help me with this.

    /ABCDE/FGH01 <<< "not a custom package.. custom packages start with Z
    /ABCDE/ is a registered namespace, and could very well be customer code. It is not all Y and Z any more.
    One thing we noticed when we used a registered namespace was that if your package was in the registered namespace, then your object also had to be. That is, if your tcode starts with Z, your package name must also start with Z. if your package name starts with /ABCDE, the so too must your TCODE. I dont know this to be 100% fact, becuase we no longer use a registered namepsace, i just seem to recall that it was true.
    be wary of creating tcodes that start with /, too... the users will always have to put /n or /o in front of them. In general, we really hated using the registered namepsace, and quickly renamed a TON of stuff to get away from it.

  • Borders not printing accurately in Custom Package

    Hi There,
    This is a simple yet tricky problem, for me at least.
    I am setting a border of 25px (or whatever) in Custom Package and the image 'shrinks' on screen as the border is applied - which looks right. However when it prints, the border actually encroaches on the image by 25px.
    I have attached a couple of grabs which show the problem clearly.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Surely someone else has this problem. It can't be right that the border encroaches on the image...

  • Bug in Print Module, LR3.6, custom package

    Hi everybody,
    After two days of unequal fight with Print Module bug I hope I finally pinned it down.
    Hope it saves someone time
    I have my photos usually cropped in DSLR format (2:3)
    Printing I use often two popular formats 13x18cm and 15x21cm that are close to 5:7 (first one is 5x7in)
    Initially I was using virtual copies and had them cropped to 5:7 format.
    However this makes a little mess in my workflow and it's time consuming. 
    What I found was Custom Package in Print Module.
    Having cell with target size I drag desired photo into the cell and using cmd-key drag this foto to have proper look as the width target format is smaller. So far so good, but ...   
    From time to time printed photo looked totally different from what I saw on-screen. 
    First of all there are couple threads about that problem. I visited them but they remain unanswered
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3344521

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/697107
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3885690
    There are visual samples there of what happens.
    Photos in JPG file that was created from LR look differently than in LR. Photos in file are bigger or/and wrong positioned within the cell
    What I managed to find is:
    Everything goes fine until photo is rotated by 'Rotate to Fit' function. It happens in my case only with photos that have the same orientation that template.
    Example:
    Template is set on A4 borderless format set to portait (Page Setup... button).
    Two cells 14,85cm height x 21cm width (A5 format). First one over second and both in landcape position.
    When I drag photo cropped in Landscape orientation such a photo is rendered properly.
    When I drag photo cropped in Portrait orientation it's atutomatically rotated 90 degrees (couterclockwise) by "Rotate to Fit option" and that is when **** happens.
    Final print (to file or printer) shows that user dragging is omitted in render. What's more if "Photo border" is set to on, photo in this cell is not reduced. Instead of this (as far as I can see) photo border just crop some part of picture.
    If I switch orientation of the A4 page from portrait to lansdcape, magically photos that are cropped in portrait orientation start to render good (they are not rotated now) while those in landscape start to render wrong.
    This looks 99% as software bug.
    I'm using LR3.6 on mac osx 10.6.8
    I'd like someone to follow it and to check if the same happens on different Mac or Windows.
    Cheers
    Robert

    Confirmed in LR 5.3, OS X 10.9.1.
    Screen display is fine, user repositioning is ignored when printing if page is in landscape mode and the image is rotated 90° (Rotate to Fit on). A4, Epson printer. Bug also appears in PDFs generated via the "Printer…" button. I didn't check JPEG export.

  • How can I get an ucropped image in a Custom Package when using Stroke and/or Border??

    How can I get a picture in a Custom Package that has a Stroke and/or a border and get the image shown fully, and not cropped in one way or other?
    When I add the stroke/border it adds them inside the cell, thereby altering the ratio of the area for the picture inside it, which crops it in some way. How can I get the image to be uncropped?  The controls available seem to all be for the ration of the outside of the cell, but my image is inside the stroke/border and nothing seems to work on it directly ... 
    Many thanks,
    Gary

    Perhaps I misunderstood your requirement.  I have been frustrated by LR print module and labs effectively squeezing individual shots into existing frames. So I have used LR2Mogrify to export (and then re-import) a 'new image' which manages the discrepancy between a crop and a cell of a different aspect ratio by adding padding - usually 'white' - around the image to a canvas corresponding to cell dimensions. Adding stroke borders can be accomplished in Mogrify inside or outside the image.  A custom package, with multiple cell dimensions can be populated with images created in the corresponding aspect ratio(s) for the relevant cells.
    I'm not aware of a way of automating the creation of cells in a page to dimensions which change with the crop as discovered  - drag and drop images onto a blank page creates cells of the same standard size.  

  • How to print Photo Info in the Custom Print Package

    I am  using LR CC, latest version on a Windows7 PC.
    I am trying to print Photo Info in the Custom Print package. I have no trouble selecting Photo Info in the Single Image/Contact Sheet Layout Style, but when I switch to the Custom Print Package, the Photo Info check box in the Page panel, disappears. I can't find any reference to this in the manual as to why this would occur, or not be available.
    Appreciate any help with this matter.
    Best Regards
    Steve

    Hi,
    Have a look at: Lightroom Help | Print module layouts and templates
    Only on the Single Image and Contact Sheet layouts can you " ... print information about photos, such as the filename, title, caption, and keywords ..."

  • Can't find photo info option for print custom package

    Am I being very stupid as the "photo info" option in "Page" appears for any of my user templates, but not when I create a new custom package. Just ends at "cut guidlines". I'm trying to print 2 landscape and 1 portrait on the same sheet with their captions.
    Thanks for any advice
    Mike

    It is available in single image/contact sheet.
    That means single image /different images
    But indeed NOT in Custom Package

  • How do you unfreeze a frozen top and left command in the printing position command?

    The top and left option of the printing position command is frozen at 0.  The error message states that a value between 0.000 and 0.000 is required.  How do I change this?  This happens will unedited and edited pictures.  I have just installed a xerox printer perhaps there is a link between this problem and the printer.

    I didn't even suggest that because I would have thought that would be the first thing anyone would have checked for!   If you flip the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse do you have a blinking green light?  Whether you do or don't, if you are unsure of the batteries then replace them.

  • Can I create a completely custom page layout for a book, positioning and sizing pictures and text?

    I'd like to create a totally custom page, inserting photos at various locations and sizes as well as text regions.  Can this be done?   I haven't been able to find a way to do this.

    I've found it's worthwhile spending time fiddling and adjusting Lightroom's templates and saving to Custom Pages but I haven't found a way of removing a custom page layout once I've finished using it or tweaked it some more. Can you say how to remove one, please, johnbeardy? I can put them in and out of Favourites but the Custom Pages list just gets too long.

  • Printing landscape and portrait orientations in LR

    I have usually been printing from Qimage or QTR for my black and white, despite having heard good things about LR's print module.
    This afternoon I thought I would give LR a whirl at printing. I had a series of 4 photos (3 portrait orientation, 1 landscape) selected which I wanted to print one per page. In Print they all appeared oriented in the most logical fashion as I paged through the 4 pages (i.e. the longest dimension of the image ran down the longest dimension of the paper).
    I then selected my profile for my paper and hit Print... to go into my printer settings (Epson 3800) for that paper. These latter settings exist for both landscape and portrait orientations of my papers. As I had both landscape and portrait images I wished to print and the settings for the printer driver dialog are identical for both apart from the media orientation, I chose the landscape to get a quick feedback on whether LR would be able to handle a mixed bag of portrait and landscape images.
    As I feared, my first print (which was an image in portrait orientation) came out with the long axis of the image squeezed into the short dimension of the paper....so LR saw the choice I had made of a landscape orientation within the printer driver as a hard and fixed choice. Does this mean one can only do print runs of either portrait or landscape oriented images in LR and never combine the two?
    I realize there may be an easy answer to this as I've really not used LR for printing till now.
    Thanks for input,
    Dave M

    Thanks DJ-G....I can't swear but I am almost positive I had Rotate to Fit checked....indeed that would explain why when paging through the 4 pages in LR they were rotated to fit in the correct orientation. I'll check again. I do understand with Custom Package etc. we can print landscape and portrait when printing multiple images on the same page but my specific concern is printing one image per page and whether LR can handle a series of such prints in one print job if the images are a mix of landscape and portrait orientations.

  • Issues with Custom Package in Lightroom 3...please help

    I am having issues with the custom package in lightroom 3. I am selecting diferent cell sizes (with different aspect ratios) and placing multiple images in these cells.
    On screen everything looks good, but when it actually prints some of these cells are coming out stretched!! For example, the 6x4 cell comes out fine (same aspect ratio as the original capture), but i have 2 x 1.5 inch cell whose image comes out stretched??
    The first thing I thought of was the "zoom to fit" option, but this is not present in picture package.
    Then I thought it perhaps it was something to do with the my print settins, but cannot find anything there.

    I am having the same issue.  I used a Matt Kloskowski print grid and when I printed it, or printed to file, some of the images in the 15 that were created in the template were distorted.  Some the faces became wider and some narrower.  Not just zoomed to fit.  On screen it all looks correct.  Many others on the forum where the template was posted don't seem to have this issue.  I created a template myself just in case that was it but I got the same problem as walenahs.  I tried to figure out what he had done but I didn't get it.
    I have attached the two images.  You can see the distortion in the second image on the top row (too narrow), and on the second row, the second in and second down, black and white (too wide).
    Thanks

  • Custom package layout problem when there are more than 6 pages

    When I add a seventh page to a custom package layout for printing whatever changes that are made to that page take affect on page 1 not on page 7, i.e. if a I rotate a cell on page 7 the affect is not seen on page 7 but it is on page 1 which messes up the layout on page 1, and if I add an eighth page any changes made to it are seen on page 2 and so forth.  How do I prevent this so changes made to pages after page 6 are independent of the earlier pages?

    There are a number of Bugs in Firefox that can cause that to happen. A few of those Bugs have been fixed for Firefox 4.0, but the developers decided not to "backport" those fixes to 3.6.x or 3.5.x for some reason.

  • Help!!! - When Creating Customer  I get this ERROR "Provide a positive integer for minimum customer balance amount or percent when balance amount overdue type is amount or percent respectively."

    When Creating Customer  I get this ERROR "Provide a positive integer for minimum customer balance amount or percent when balance amount overdue type is amount or percent respectively."
    I tried troubleshooting when I saw the another post and created with a new customer profile class, but still getting an error, though I created another profile like below and attached this to another existing customer it worked, but when I tried creating a new customer it is still giving me the error. I am Using Oracle Applications R12.1.1
    Steps I followed in Creating a New customer Profile
    ==== Make sure the new Customer Profile class which you will create is in active state. Cross check below steps while defining a customer Profile class.. e.g. Name : DEFAULT (and it's active)
    *1) Profile Class Tab :*
    a) Balance FWD Billing : Not enabled
    b) Invoicing --> Tax Printing ( Summarize By Tax Name), Grouping Rule (DEFAULT)
    c) Set Terms as per ur requirement , do allow discount & Override terms
    d) Set Dunning as per your requirement,
    e) Filled in Collectors info as per your requirement with Credit Check enabled...
    f) Receipt --> Auto cash Rule set as 'Standard'..
    *2) Late Charge Profile* Set it as per requirement
    *3) Profile Class Amounts* e.g Say Currency set as "USD"
    a) Credit Limit : 100000
    b) Order Credit Limit : 100000
    c) Minimum Receipt Amount : 1.00
    d) Min statement amount : 1.00
    e) don't put any value in Exchange Rate type (e.g, monthly, Plan etc..)
    f) Minimum Customer Balance : Amount ------> Value: 5.00
    g) Minimum Invoice Balance : Amount ------> Value: 5.00
    h) Minimum Charge per invoice : 1, Maximum Charge per Invoice : 100 Under Interest Charge
    i) mention Type as Fixed Rate, Value : 10
    j) You can avoid setting the Penalty Charge for the time being..
    Step-2_ a) Open a customer ..*go to Bill to site details* --> Click on Profile Tab --> Under Profile Class field please include new profile class which is created by you (e.g DEFAULT) . b) Go to Profile Amounts Tab --> Click(Show) on Currency USD --> Verify the set up here as well   I could see this.
    When I tried creating an new Customer using the new profile, it's repeating the same error. Please help.

    Hi
    You get this error when profile class amounts are not set for all the currency.  Go back to your profile and ensure that the profile amounts are set for all the currencies found, whether you are using it or not.
