2. Choose the page size.
Switch to the Print module and click the Page Setup button in the lower-left corner of the module. Choose a page size
by doing one of the following:
• (Windows) In the Paper area of the Printing Preferences or Print Setup dialog box, choose a page size from the Size
menu. Then, click OK.
• (Mac OS) In the Page Setup dialog box, choose a printer from the Format For menu and choose a page size from the
Paper Size menu. Then, click OK.
Important: Leave the Scale set to 100% and make size adjustments in Lightroom.
3. Choose a template.
A template provides a basic layout for your photo prints. Lightroom includes three types of print templates:
1 Single Image/Contact Sheet templates let you print one or more photos, all at the same size, on a page.
2 Picture Package templates let you print one photo in multiple sizes on a page.
3 Custom Package templates let you print multiple photos at various sizes on one or more pages.
Lightroom print templates scale the photos to accommodate the paper size you choose.
On the left side of the Print module, move the pointer over a name in the Template Browser; a preview of the template
appears in the Preview panel above the Template Browser. Click a template name to select it for the photo or photos you
want to print. See
About print templatesand Choose a print template.
After you select a template, look in the Layout Style panel, at the top of the right side of the module, to see whether it's
a Single Image/Contact Sheet, Picture Package, or Custom Package template.
4. Add or remove photos from the layout.
Depending on the type of template you choose, you may need to add, change, or remove photos from the layout.
• For Single Image/Contact Sheet templates and Picture Package templates, select one or more photos in the Filmstrip
to add them to image cells in the preview area. Deselect photos in the Filmstrip to remove them from the template.
• For Custom Package templates, drag a thumbnail from the Filmstrip to image cell in the preview area.
5. (Optional) Customize the template.
For Single Image/Contact Sheet layouts, modify the template using the controls in the Image Settings and Layout
panels. For example, zoom to fill the photos in the cell, add a stroke border, and adjust margins and cell size. You can
also drag the guides in the preview area to resize cells.
For Picture Package and Custom Package templates, you can drag cells freely in the preview area and specify options in
the Image Settings panel. Use the Rulers, Grid & Guides panel to adjust the display of the work area. Use the Cells panel
to add new cells or pages to the layout.
See Specify how photos fill an image cell, Specify rulers and guides, Modify page margins and cell size (Single
Image/Contact Sheet layouts), and Print borders and strokes in Picture Package and Custom Package layouts.
6. (Optional) Add text and other extras.
