Printing Images Using a Template

Use templates to simplify image placement and sizing. Templates, by default, do not contain any specific images. However, Paint Shop Pro can save templates with links to images.

Save your own templates (created from page layouts) or use any of Paint Shop Pro’s many templates.

By default, sample templates are stored in the Print Templates folder of Paint Shop Pro program folder. To change where Paint Shop Pro stores and searches for templates, click the Edit template file locations button or choose File > Template locations. For more information, see Setting File Locations.

To print images using a template:

Open the Print Layout window:
From the Paint Shop Pro workspace, open each of the images you want to print, and then choose File > Print Layout.
From the Paint Shop Pro Browser, select the thumbnail of each image you want to print, and then choose File > Print Layout.

In the Print Layout window, choose File > Open Template or click Open Template to open the Templates dialog.
Choose a category from the Select a category list. Thumbnails of the templates in each category are shown in the window to the left. Templates that have images saved with them will show colored template cells. Note: When you save custom templates, they will appear under the User Defined category.

Select the thumbnail of the template you want to open, and then click OK to open the template in the Print Layout window.

Note: If you saved images with the template, the images will appear in the template cells and in the thumbnail list. Templates that have images missing will display a greyed out cell in the template thumbnail.

Once you have selected a template, you can drag multiple images, or multiple copies of the same image into the cells of the template. Use the Placement options to position the images in the cells.

Place the images in the cells of the template:
Place multiple images by dragging each thumbnail into a template cell.
Fill the template with copies of the same image, by dragging one image thumbnail onto any cell and then choosing Templates > Fill Template with Image or clicking the Fill template with image button .
Paint Shop Pro fills all cells with the image.

Note: To remove an image from a template, select the image, and then press Delete, or choose Image > Remove.

Choose an cell placement method from the Print Layout window toolbar or from Image > Placement.
Free format Allows you to freely resize and position the image in the cell.
Size and Center The image size is not changed to match the cell. You can resize the image and the image will always stay centered in the cell.

Fit and center Scales the image to fit entirely inside the cell and centers the image in the cell. The image aspect ratio is maintained.
