Creating picture packages
With the Picture Package command, you can place
multiple copies of one or more photos on a single
page, similar to the photo packages traditionally
sold by portrait studios. You can choose from a
variety of size and placement options to customize
your package layout.
Using Picture Package is a great way to print
more than one image on a single page.
