Video Tutorial | Printing Two 3x4 Images On A 4x6
I've had some requests over the last couple of weeks for help with how to print 3x4 photos (specially for use in the smaller Project Life page protector pockets). I put together a quick video tutorial that walks you through the steps to put 2, 3x4 images on a 4x6 canvas in Photoshop Elements.
You could definitely adapt these steps to put more 3x4 photos onto a larger background canvas (such as an 8x10).

I have the PSE version 11 and it is not like the tutorial at all. There is no option for floating the levels, even in the expert style. I can't see the icons that you are clicking on for most steps.
Can someone recommend a tutorial with step by step panels of every click? This is so frustrating for me because I know this should be easy. Perhaps I need PSE for Dummies?
Thank you Ali for your tutorials. Most of them are very helpful!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I did it as I followed along with my own pictures! I hope that some of this becomes second nature for me in the not too distant future!!

Hi Ali. I was playing around with some photos and some of your files last night. How can I add the "love" brush from your "Hello Life" collection to a photo. I first brought in the png file but when I stretched it, it got distorted. Then I realized it had to be a brush. I imported the brushes from that set but I can't figure out how to size the brush to fit the 3x4 photo. Can you help?
Thank you,
Teri
Hi Teri - actually you can use the PNG file to add to the photo (vs. the brushes - I almost always just use the PNG files vs. loading the brushes). To not distort the PNG file, hold down the shift key and drag from a corner to resize on the photo.
Oh that is awesome!! Thank you for the fast reply. I just purchased some new ones yesterday and I'm in love with them. Have a wonderful week!! Hugs and blessings, T

Brilliant! I needed to read comment #35 to enable "Float All in Windows"and then had the same problem as Carolyn in #38 and found the blank canvas was set to 300 pixels/cm instead of 300pixels/inch!!!
Then everything worked just as your tutorial.
Many thanks

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was printing a 4x6 and cutting it down to 3x4 and wasting so much good photo paper. So thank you again ~ I really appreciate it!

[…] From there I open the image in Photoshop and crop it to 3×4 (at 300dpi) and place it on a 4×6 canvas with another 3×4 photo before printing on a 4×6 sheet of photo paper using an Epson Picturemate Show. Check out a video tutorial on placing two 3×4 images on a 4×6 canvas here. […]

Okay, I know this is probably a ridiculous question but for some reason I am stuck! When you create your 4x6, what extension do you use to save them so you can print them? I did them and am so proud of myself but every time I try to upload them to print it says "invalid jpeg file". so I am assuming I am saving them wrong! HELPPPPPP!!!

I did my pictures for Project Life from this tutorial and it went great. BUT when I went to upload it for printing it it said "invalid jpeg file'. Is there a particular way to save them so that I can upload them and have them printed? Please help!!! These are for my December Daily!!! Thanks!
