Printing from the Organizer

Elements also lets you print from the Organizer, which gives you many more output options than the Editor, including the ability to print several photos on one page. You can create contact sheets of thumbnails, picture packages (like you'd order from a professional photographer), and labels. You can also easily add all kinds of fancy borders to your photos in the Organizer.

The Print Selected Photos dialog box is the Organizer's print control center. Press Ctrl+P or click the Print shortcut icon and then choose Print to bring it up (see Figure 14-8).

Print Selected Photos has a strip down the left side of the window that displays the thumbnails of the photos you've selected for printing.

Click Add to bring up a window where you can search for additional photos, or highlight a photo's thumbnail and click the–button to remove it.

The strip on the left side of the window holds thumbnails for all the photos you plan to print. If you're creating a picture package or a contact sheet, you can add or remove images by clicking the + or - buttons at the bottom of the thumbnail strip.
