Photo and Picture Printing

looking for an easy to use and straightforward program

[hakre]

Hi all,

i'm looking forward for a tool to arrange multiple pictures (photos) on a page and print them out. sort of a small and simple app with moving and resizing for the pictures. anybody knows something like this? don't want to use illustrator or freehand for this all the time.

that's really hard. no answer since some days. do i really need to write one on my own...?

Exactly how do you want them arranged? Are you looking for a batch-process image resizing program? That also outputs them on an html page?

I use "Paint Shop Pro". Works great. I think you can search Google and find a shareware version to try for 30 days or so. There are probably some freeware ones out there too if you search. I have used Paint Shop Pro for years, and I always buy the new upgrades. The full version includes a Jasc thumbnail program that works great for what you are talking about. I'm not sure if it's included in the shareware version.

Speaking of Paintshop Pro the public beta [jasc.com] is under way for free.

What resolution are you talking about? Does it need to be high quality?

hi pplz,

thanks for the feedback. the program i'm looking for should be really easy. it displays an empty page (you can choose the format, like us-letter or din a4 etc.). then you can open a jpeg/imagefile and place it on that page. you can resize it, move it around (maybe even rotate 45degree steps) and change the z-order to handle multiple images on one page. then this is ready to print. that's all.

i know that paintshop can handle this, like freehand or illustrator or corel. but i just want a more tiny app with less options in order to have it simple and fast.
