With Portraits & Prints you can take any photo and print it any way you want. Select your photos and they are automatically arranged onto templates and displayed on screen the exact same way they are printed. You don’t waste time arranging photos and you don’t waste paper since you see the printout beforehand.
OVERVIEW
Portraits & Prints stores your photos in Catalogs and prints your photos on Templates.
WHAT IS A CATALOG?
A Catalog is a double-clickable document that displays thumbnails of the photos that you want to print. It is not a photo organizer like iPhoto, it simply links to the photos you add. Photos can be added from iPhoto, a folder, a CD, a website, or anywhere. You can add one photo or hundreds. You can create as many catalogs as you want and save the catalogs for future use. Brightness, contrast, sharpness, saturation, red-eye, balloon-caption, rotation, and cropping tools are available. Any enhancements made to photos are stored within the catalog and applied to the image when it is printed so the original photo is left untouched.
WHAT IS A TEMPLATE?
Template is a page layout where the photo size and position are preset. A template is a lot more than a photo layout; it can contain any kind of text and graphics so you can print your photos any way you want. A template could be as simple as eight- wallet sized photos printed on a page, or as complex as eight-company ID badges containing photos, graphics, and text. Once a template is created, that template can be used over and over again, changing the photos and accompanying text. You can download hundreds of free templates using the Template Manager or create your own.
