Using iPhoto, I am unable to print same photo (4x6) twice on a single page.

Downloaded photos from iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I wanted to get duplicates of the photos printed but there doesn't appear to be an option to print the same photo more than once on a page. Since I had multiple photos I was able to get around the problem by selecting 2 different photos and printing 2 separate pages (i.e. 1 each on each page), but I was printing 4x6 photos so I should be able to print same photo twice on a page.
Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Yes - when you duplicate a photo you have to delete it when you no longer want it
Yes - Windows and OS X have many differences - as do iPhoto and other programs - pretty much safe to say that every program is unique and has its own learning curve
You are welcome - post back as you have questions
and as a new user you may find Terence Devlin's helpful hints useful - especially How to Access Files in iPhoto since there is a major conceptual difference between using a database like iPhoto and file based systems like most Windows systems - also Exporting From iPhoto and iPhoto and File Management

  • To print one photo multiple times on a single page

    The title of my question is the title of the page in iPhoto 8 help.
    "To print one photo multiple times on a single page"
    It says (a bit shortened) 1. Select photo 2. Click print button 3. Select paper size 4. Select print size 5 Click Customize button 6 Click Settings button 7. Select "Multiple of same photo per page from the Photos Per Page pop-up menu. 8 Click OK 9 Click Print.
    I can not find the pop-up menu referred to in Step 7. There are two "settings" buttons - neither produce a Photos Per Page pop-up menu. Settings appears if you click a double arrow to the right in the lower margin but only deals with font issues and "Print Settings" does not offer such a pop-up.
    I am using Leopard on a PowerBook G4 and just bought and installed the newest iLife 8.
    Grateful for help.

    Arthur:
    When you click on the Customize button there will be a Setting button in the next window. Click on it and in the drop down window that comes up will be the option to print multiple photos of the same photo per page.
    Select that option and click OK. You'll get the spinning cursor for a few seconds as iPhoto creates the multiple copies on the page you selected. Be sure that the print size is small enough so that you can have multiple copies of it on the paper size you selected.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't print a photo multiple times on a single page

    I just installed iLife 8 and am trying to print one 3X5 photo multiple times on a single page. When I consulted the help menu in iPhoto, I found what I thought was the answer. When I followed the instructions, I hit a snag because I don't have the Photos Per Page pop-up menu it references. Any ideas on how I can do this to save paper?
    Here's what the help menu said:
    Printing one photo multiple times on a single page
    If you have a favorite photo you want to share with many people, you can print multiple copies of that photo on a single page.
    To print one photo multiple times on a single page
    Select the photo you want to print.
    Click the Print button.
    Select the paper size (such as letter-size or legal-size).
    Select the print size (such as 2 x 3 or 4 x 6).
    If you want to make the photo a custom size, select Custom.
    Click the Customize button.
    Click the Settings button.
    Select “Multiple of the same photo per page” from the Photos Per Page pop-up menu.
    iPhoto will zoom and crop the photo to fit the space available. To make a photo appear full-frame, Control-click the photo and choose “Fit Photo to Frame Size” from the menu that appears.
    Click OK.
    Click Print.

    Well don't I feel stupid! I just installed iLife '08 and assumed that it would tell me right away if I needed any updates. I found and installed the needed updates (7.1.1), I got the right settings drop down menu to print multiples on one page. Thanks for your help

  • Problems printing one photo multiple times on a single page

    Im trying to print multiple photos on a page so as to not waste paper. I have a 4 X 6 photo and want to print 2, 3X3 photos on the page. If you follow the HELP directions which are
    Choose FILE > Print, Select paper Size, in my case 4X6. click on customize, Click Settings button then choose "Multiple of the same photo per page"
    The "Multiple photo per page" option is grayed out. After troubleshooting it appears the software is telling me that two 3X3 photos cant fit in a 4X6 inch wide space and wont let me try. I was able to get around the problem by printing two 2.9 inch photos.
    The software should be friendlier - Allow me to print 2 photos that are a exact fit to the paper. If the photo needs to be adjusted the software should do the adjustments in the background.
    If Im having a problem here Im sure others are too.

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    Note that this is NOT a reporting path to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback to do that
    No one but us users here - and I do not see a question in your post - just a rant and how you found a work around
    Note that in general you DO NOT want software to change your specs - if you need a 3"x3" print you do not want the software to change it to 2.9" x 2.9" in the background - if it can not do what you requested then not doing it and having you adjust the request is the most appropriate path IMHO

  • Printing one photo multiple times on a single page

  • I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother Printer

    I am unable to print color photos from i photo using a Brother MFC-6490CW all in one.  The photos appear to be in grayscale.  I have checked the printer settings, but for some reason I am not able to access the color management on my printer from printer set up.  It only gives me the standard option.  I have spent hours checking Bother's website and Apple's and I am not able to come up with a valid answer.  I know that the color print works.  If I print something from the internet of from outlook it will print in color.  I know all of my cartridges are in working order, I have cleaned the print head on my Brother, but I am still not able to print photos in color!!!
    What puzzles me the most is why I am unable to really access the color management menu on my printer?  It just does not come up.  I have the option from paper handling to print photos, but this has nothing to do with the quality.  I have also tried printing the photo from an Adobe PDF file and I still have the same problem.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thank you.

    In the Print dialogue box click on the little triangle to the right of the name of the printer. That will expand the dialogue box.

  • I have recently installed Aperture 3.1 and my Canon MG 6150 is unable to print good quality photos from it I have to use iPhoto to produce good quality prints. o

    I have recently installed Aperture 3.1,  but my Canon MG6150 has been unable to print photos of good quality from the Aperture print engine
    and I have to return to iPhoto to obtain prints I am happy with.

    I have now to reply to my own question having later found a thread over another canon printer with the answer. In the second print dialog box you click on "show details" and then on "layout". The following schreen shots make this clear. The settings can then be saved as a preset.
    It's a pity the Canon helpdesk was not able to give me this information. I hope that this will help others with similar problems.

  • Printing same photo multiple images per page

    Using the new version how do you print the same picture 4x on one page?

    Do the following:
    1 - duplicate the photo so you have the number of photos that you want on a single page.
    2 - select all of the duplicates and start the Print process.
    3 - select the paper size.
    4 - select the Custom layout
    5 - select  the aspect ratio ratio you want to have or a custom aspect ratio.
    6 - adjust the width and height until you get the number of images per page that you want.

  • What version of iPhoto do I need to print a photo book?

    I have an old MacBook I'm using with OSX 10.6.2 and iPhoto 7.  I spent hours putting together a photobook only to be told it printing photo books is not supported in that version. However, iPhoto 9 is not compatible with my OSX. Any lesser version of iPhoto I can get so I can still print my photo book? Any other ideas for getting this printed?

    Print products are only supported for iPhoto '09, version 8.1.x, or iPhoto '11, version 9.x.x.
    If you cannot upgrade to any of these iPhoto version, consider to export your book as PDF and send this PDF to a third-party print service.
    See this support document:  Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars - Apple Support
    iPhoto 8.1.2 will work with your system. You would need to buy an iLife '09 installer DVD from Amazon or eBay, to have a full version of iphoto '09 to update to 8.1.2.

  • Should I still use iPhoto? I want to store my photos on a NAS

    I'm trying to come up with a new photo workflow now that I have a Synology NAS on my home network. In the past, I've just let iPhoto do its thing, but now I'm not so sure I should even use iPhoto, given how my needs have changed. Some background:
    I have a new 13" rMBP with 256GB of solid-state storage. For what I need, this should be plenty, as long as I find a new home for my 100GB of digital photos. I also have a Synology DS213j with 2 3GB Western Digital Red drives in a mirrored RAID configuration on my home network. I want to use this as my primary photo storage location, so I get the security of a mirrored RAID configuration and I am using Amazon Glacier for offsite backup (not to mention freeing up 100GB of storage on my rMBP).
    I think I can make this work, but I want to get some opinions. Synology offers a nice system they call Photo Station that looks to be a great fit for organizing and browsing. I can use a combination of Image Capture and Hazel to help import, sort and organize any new photos. For any images that I need to edit, I plan on bringing a copy to my local drive, edit with Pixelmator, and then push the changes back to the NAS.
    From what I've read, I can't simply copy the iPhoto library over to my NAS, that will cause all sorts of chaos, so my thought is to export all of the photos from my iPhoto library to my Synology NAS. For file export kind, should I use current or original? Once I complete this process, is there any value in even using iPhoto? Anything else I should consider?
    thanks!

    No you should not continue to use iPhoto. You can't have an iPhoto Library on an NAS. The disk format is wrong and iPhoto is not designed for network access. End of story.
    Neither should you use iPhoto in Referenced mode with the Photos on a NAS as that's just storing up problems.
    For more on iPhoto and file management see this User Tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6361
    That said, iPhoto is due to be replaced soon - in the coming months - by a new App, and this may not have that issue. For instance, there are no such reservations bout running referenced Aperture library - so who knows what may come with the new (that also replaces aperture.)
    So, you might want to hold on making any big decisions until you see the options. Why? Because what you're describing as a workflow is moving to an entirely different kind of workflow. You're going from non-destructive with iPhoto, to lossy and destructive in your suggested replacement. Is that what you want?
    What you export from iPhoto really depends on what you want: the original unedited image? Or a version of the edited one? What's for sure is the one thing you don't want is to export as Current - that's just a preview and missing loads of metadata.
