Will Aperture print different size photos on 1 sheet?

In Aperture, is it possible to print multiple photos per sheet, with different sizes for each photo? Each photo may be unique, or I may want to use the same photo for each size. In the past I have used Qimage on the PC, and would like to know if Aperture can handle this as well.
thanks

I guess the light table, as a virtual table, is meant to be limitless in dimensions. I don't see a way to constrain its aspect ratio directly.
But perhaps here's a workaround, certainly not ideal but perhaps at least useful: just make your viewer window the appropriate aspect ratio as the paper you want to print to. Eyeballing may work out fine, but to be more specific, you could start with a new version of an image and crop it to the exact aspect ratio you want. Then add only that one shot and make it large enough to fill the viewer window, adjusting the shape of the viewer window to fit that placed image closely. Now you can unplace that image and you're left with a blank light table, the viewable portion of which is the precise aspect ratio you need for your paper. So you can place your images to fit within that window -- if you end up going over one edge (that is, growing your table) you can simply right-click and "zoom to fit" which will fit all the images in your viewer window. The key is that the viewer window is the right proportion.
I think an option to have the table constrainable in proportions is a good idea, but this might work in a pinch. Just an idea.

Print Different Size Photo, one per page

I am using PS5 in 64 bit mode. I print on a Epson 3880 printer. I shoot all photos in RAW. I process all my RAW files in ACR accomplishing 80% of changes and the balance 20% in PS. The output of my retouch is a Master Image (MI) File that I would like to print at different sizes. I am starting to sell my images at Art Shops and Hops. My customers would like to have different size images of my MI's How do I print from the MI, different sizes images with a 150 - 300 ppi and maintain the integrity of the MI?
I have tried the Image Tool but it will not let me print the image sizes that my customers want. The Image Tool only allows me to change one dimension either (H) or (W) but not both. Help.

If you want to print standard size images like 16x20, 8x10, 5x7, 4x6 etc these have different aspect ratios you will need to crop you image to the correct aspect ratio for the print you want or you could print different print sizes that have the same aspect ratio. Like you camera most likely has a 3:2 aspect ratio if you use a DSLR. You could print all 3:2 aspect ratios image on you 3800. 3x2, 6x4, 9x6,12x8 15x10, 18x12, 21x14, 24x16... all that needs to be changed is the print DPI setting without resampling. You have a 3800 that can print up to 17" wide. You can print any size you want. Some image cry out to be cropped. They look best cropped for image composition is often best as some non standard aspect ratio.

Hi,
I assume you are using a Photo Paper, Please clarify if I am wrong.
Be aware that while the Maximum size for plain paper is 210 x 297mm,
The largest supported Photo Paper is 203.2 x 254 mm, as you may find listed within the product specification's Paper Types and Sizes section:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01758526&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"?

How can I use the print module to print different size images on one large "canvas"? An example would be in Photoshop, go to file>new, and create the size paper I want, and move images of different sizes onto it.
I was thinking the print module would do this automatically for me.

You can't, at present. It's been a requested feature, so we'll see if it shows up in a future version, but it's not there at present.

Print Different Sizes Images

I use CS5 / 64bit and print on a Epson 3880 printer. I sell my images at art shows & hops. I shoot all image in RAW, on a Nikon D80. I process all images first in CR. When in CR I do not use the Crop Tool but do use most the other available tools. I am able to process 80% of images corrections, in CR and the balance in Photoshop CR5. I sharpen all image with PhotoKit 1.2. I save all my processed images, in a Master Image (MI) file that can be accessed through Bridge or Photoshop. The smallest image I sell is a 5x7 and the larges is 17x22. How do I print different size picture image from the MI and keep resolution between 200 - 300 ppi, one per page to meet the demands for my customers.
Thanks,

Printer will not make 4x6 size photos

I just bought an HP Photosmart 8250 printer and I cannot print the 4x6 size photos. The printer instead pulls paper from the letter size tray. I believe it is a problem with the computer because I was able to print a 4x6 photo with just the memory card in the printer and all hook-ups to the computer detached. As far as I know, I have selected the right size paper wherever given the choice. In Mac System Preferences however, I cannot change the "Default Paper Size in Page Setup" to a 4x6 size. Is this the root of my problem? If not, what is?

Hi,
I think I might know how to fix the probem you are having. I too, just purchased an HP 8250 printer. I found that I had to go into the Advanced menu on the Print dialog box. Pick "Paper Type/Quality" and choose the Photo tray. The default is the "Main Tray" which typically holds your 8 1/2 by 11 paper.
That should have the printer pull from the proper paper tray (4x6 photo tray).
I am using the 4x6 Borderless photo paper that has a removable tab. (didn't now that until I bought it.) However, I'm still having problems getting the printer to print a true borderless print. The only way it will without giving me a white border on the left and right "landscape" or 4" edges is if I pick "Zoom and Crop" which then will do that to the picture.
If you are having that problem or if you know how to fix it, would you let me know. the one thing I am finding with this HP printer and my Mac, is that there are way too many steps when wanting to print a photo from your computer. It's a bit frustrating. I have yet to try printing from a memory card as I have always just printed directly from iPhoto. (previously used an Epson 1280)
good luck!

IPhoto freezes when trying to print small size photos

I'm trying to print the smallest sized photo. Everytime I ask it to print it freezes and I have to force quit. If I print a bigger sized photo, such as 4X6, it works fine. Earlier in the day I was able to print the small photos. I've trashed the plist and restarted but it's still doing it.

The settings that I show in the screen shot give you, as owner, complete access to that folder and all files inside. I also set my admin name as the group because I'm the only user on the computer and set others are read only. As long as you have read and write access you good to go. Then the bottom check boxes apply those permissions and will unlock any file that may have inadvertently been locked.
You can set the permissions a different way as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.

Epson R340 will not print higher quality photo - Jobs Stopped!

I have seen posts on this problem before but I've tried the recommendations and haven't had any luck. From IPhoto 5 (version 5.0.4) I can print regular resolution photos but if I switch to the higher resolution photos the printer stops printing. If I restart printing it says "Opening Printer Connection" and then again "Jobs stopped".
It is very frustrating since I have printed the higher resolution photos before with the same software, drivers, etc. but I cannot repeat it every time.
I have tried verifying and repairing disk permissions but it did not work. I have also tried all combinations of Advanced Options - Print Setting along with the Presets.
Help!
Mac Mini 1.42 GHz Power PC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 512 MB DDR SDRAM

I reinstalled the drivers from the original set-up disk (didn't do anything)
I reread the Help topics and noticed that Epson had set the Presets to "Standard"
I noticed that in the ColorSync Utility the default preset was "Standard", so...
I set the "Format for:" to "Stylus Photo R340"
I then changed the "Paper Size" to "4x6 (sheet feeder - borderless)"
- I used to have it as a custom 4x6 size - this may have been the problem
Then I went into the Print menu from iPhoto and checked to see that the
Preset was "Standard"
From there I went into "Advanced Options" -> "Print Settings" and changed the Mode from "Automatic" -> "Speed" to "Quality"
I hit print and out came the higher resolution, higher quality photos.
Thanks for helping - I think you put me on the right path.

Officejet pro 8000 wireless will not print from windows photo viewer. all other diagnostics ok.

OS is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. All functions and printing are ok with this unit, excepting for printing through Windows Photo Viewer. Have latest software, drivers, etc., and all HP software and hardware diagnostic tools check out ok.
Checked Windows event log, and get Event 350, PrintService - Document failed to print and was deleted because of corruption in the spooled file. The associated driver is: . Try printing the document again.
There is no additional info on this event listed in the Microsoft TechNet Events and Errors Message Reporting Center
When this happens, all of the lights on the printer flash very rapidly.
To correct, I clear the queue through Explorer, Troubleshoot, and unplug printer to reset.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

FYI, I got this to work by treating my printer as a wired printer, even though it allegedly has wireless functionality. Luckily, my ohter devices can print to it wirelessly. At least I don't need to replace my printer just yet...

Epson R2880 - Will not print - paper sizes

I am having major problems with trying to print to a R2880. I have recently purchased it and have had problems with printing to it from the beginning. Sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't.
The Epson driver is 6.2 which is the latest. I am running Leopard. Do not want to upgrade to SL cause what I read shows FCS2 does not run on it.
Keeps on telling me that the "Paper source selected in the printer doesn't macy the paper loaded in the printer" which is of course bollocks.
I have tried the solution offered by a previous post which was to got to the print preview and then Cmd - P and then choose the right paper. Worked fine on an A4 but when I did the same for a 10 x 15 cm no go.
It suddenly started working the other day but when I chose a selection of 10 x 15's (varied portrait / landscape aspects) to print it did not orientate them correctly. The paper was installed in a portrait arrangement yet not one of the photos printed on the page correctly.
What a waste of time this printer and Aperture are.
Can anyone help on this most frustrating problem. I have had this printer for a few months and have only managed to print a handful of photos !
Regards

Hi Colin,
The R2880 is a little finicky when it comes to paper source. A couple of questions:
• What paper are you using? What size? Are you using the back tray or the main tray? I had a ton of problems with the back tray and that very error. I now always use the main tray, but it depends on the paper you use since certain types can only be loaded in the back.
• Are you making sure the preset you choose is for +sheet feeder+ and not +roll paper+?
The Preview solution you read about is probably mine and was brought on by SL. Fortunately 10.6.2 fixed that problem but I've still had the paper source error come up a couple of times - I need to open the print settings for the preset I want to use and save it again (it's as though it needs to be reminded that it should use the sheet feeder, even though that setting is saved right there in the preset).
My first thought was that your problem might have to do with the non-conventional paper size, but I also make custom 16x12 prints on 13x19 paper and don't have problems at all.
I'm guessing it's probably a combination of settings and paper type...

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 will not print SRA3 size paper

I created an Adobe InDesign file 320x450mm (SRA3) and saved it as a a High Quality PDF. However, when I print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with SRA3 paper size settings, it defaults to A4 and the printer will not register the SRA3 paper size request. The tech from Canon updated the printer driver which increased print dialog options such as Paper Handling, Paper Source etc. (which I didn't have before) and spent over an hour running tests. We both agreed there was a software issue since there were not issues from other software:
I can print SRA3 files from InDesign and Microsoft Word, but not Adobe Acrobat Pro.
This is an ongoing problem since I often receive artwork in PDF format at this size.
My workaround is to place the PDF into InDesign, line up the crops by eye and print to SRA3 paper which works fine until I need to do a double sided print which becomes slightly innacurate and often time consuming.
Canon printer driver specs:
V2.0
iR-ADV C5045/5051 PS (UK)

What happens if you select other paper sizes? Also ensure that 'choose paper source by PDF page size' is not checked at your print dialog.
Kindly let us know your results and if possible please forward us your pdf at [email protected]
Looking forward to help you out.
Thanks

Printer will only print letter size

I just installed the printer (Officejet PRO K8600). No matter what I do it only will print in letter size. This is even if I set up the printer in the program (ACAD LT or ADOBE PRO) as tabloid.

Can't get iPhoto to print correct size photo

I have iPhoto 09.   I have two 4 x 6 photos I want to print, one on top of the other, with a 1 1/4 outside border all around and a 1/2 space in between them. I'm printing on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of photo paper.
I did this several months ago and it worked fine. Now I'm trying to print the same arrangement, but can't get the sizing right. I don't remember exactly how I constructed the above layout but assumed that I printed it as a two-photo contact sheet. But now when I do it that way, the photos end up cropped and approximately 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 (instead of 4 x 6) and top/bottom borders of 1 3/4 instead of 1 1/4.   The L-R borders are now at 1 1/2 instead of 1 1/4. The 1/2 space in between them remains correct.
Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?   Thanks.

Apply the library repair below:
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.

My adobe print screen will not print the size that is indicated. I have it selected to "fit" but it prints out a much smaller version of the previewed picture. What can I do to fix this? iMac user. Thanks

How can I print so that its locked at the size previewed?

HP DESIGNJET will not print accurate sizes from Illustrator CC

Running Macbook Pro to HP DSIGNJET 500C. Layout artboard 24x24 with 20"x20" 1" grid. Print with no scaling . Squares about 15/16" I adjust artboard grid to be close to right then reprint and it will vary about a 1/16" over 18". I can live with that. Then I create a new artboard by coping the corrected one and it puts both of them out of scale. Any help? ? ?

upandrunning,
I believe it may be because the printer (driver) is non PostScript.
What happens if you create a PDFand print from Adobe Acrobat or Reader?
