To create a picture package from a single image:
1
Choose File > Automate > Picture Package.
2
Specify the Source: Frontmost Document to use the currently active image, File to
browse to a saved image, or Folder to browse to a folder containing multiple image files.
(Select Include All Subfolders to include images inside any subfolders.)
3
Under Document, select page size, layout, resolution, and color mode for the picture
package. (A thumbnail of the selected layout is displayed on the right side of the dialog
box.)
Select Flatten All Layers to create a picture package with all images and text on a single
layer. Deselect Flatten All Layers to create a picture package where each image is on a
separate layer and each caption is on a separate text layer.
4
Under Label, select the source for label text from the Content menu (or choose None).
Specify font, font attributes, and position for the labels.
5
Click OK.
Customizing picture package layouts
You can customize existing layouts or create new layouts using a text-editing application.
The layout options in the Picture Package dialog box are determined by text files that are
stored in the Layouts folder (inside the Presets folder).
For example, the following text describes a layout with two 5 x 7 images:
I 8 10
(2) 5x7
0.5 0 7 5
0.5 5 7 5
First line
Defines the unit of measurement and the document size.
Second line
Contains the name of the layout as it appears in the Picture Package dialog
box.
Subsequent lines
Define the position and dimensions of each image in the layout.
To customize a new picture package layout:
1
In a text-editing application, create a new file, or open an existing file in the Layouts
folder (inside the Presets folder).
2
In the first line of the file, enter the following elements (separated by a space):
•
A letter for the unit of measurement: i or I (for inches), p or P (for pixels), c or C (for centi-
meters). All numbers in the file use the specified unit.
•
The width of the document.
•
The height of the document.
Note:
The width and height of the document should not exceed the printable area of
the paper. For example, if you plan to print on 11 x 17 paper, specify 10 x 16 as the
document size.
3
In the second line of the file, enter the name of the layout as you want it to appear in the
Picture Package dialog box. You can enter up to 75 characters.
