Video Tutorial | Printing Two 3x4 Images On A 4x6
Tags: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).

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!
