Resizing pictures and adding more then one to a page

[Luckygirl23]

I'm trying to print more then one picture on the same piece of paper and resize them. I just want to know how to do it.

If you have Windows or Mac, you can use HP Photo Creations to print multiple photos on a single sheet of paper.

Photo Creations requires that you have already installed the Full Feature Software for your printer and Operating System / version.  If necessary, click the Change button to change the OS.

Software and Drivers - Hp Deskjet 3752

Example for Windows:

Download, Save, and install:

HP Photo Creations

After the software is installed:

Click Start (windows key) > all apps > scroll the list 

Open Category HP

Find the HP Photo Creations application

Right-Click on the application and PIN to Start

HP Photo Creations Support & Tips

Example setup

Open the Photo Creations software

Prints > 

Under Quick Prints

Select a box Multi-Up > Print my own > Add Photos > Browse >

Open first one and then another photo to be printed on the paper >

Print >

Select / Verify the name of the Printer in the drop-down menu

Under the printer's name >

Open Printer Settings... >

Printing Shortcuts > 

Adjust / Verify settings in each tab  (Details dependent on printer model)

For example,

tab Paper / Quality > Media Type > HP Advanced Photo Paper (or other)

Advanced > Size of Paper > Letter (8.5 x 11”)

Click OK to save changes and exit the Printer Settings menu

Open Advanced Settings

Set / Verify settings in each sub-section

When ready, click Print

NOTES:

The software adjusts the orientation for each photo.

Be aware that Printer mandatory margin restrictions could interfere -- some printers require larger margins and not all printers support "Borderless".  If you find you are having issues with margins, check your printer Specifications.

In the example, the second "added photo" (in its original format) was a different "shape" (Aspect Ratio).  Photo Creations has cut the photo to fit within the requested size.  Depending on the intelligence of the photo editing software, this may or may not always work in your best interests.  This time, it works just fine, cutting off just some extra "foliage" in the photo and leaving the main feature (Chickadee).

Additional settings that may be helpful when printing multi-up prints: 

• Grid Spacing = None pushes the photos together so you can cut them out with a single cut.
• Disabling cut marks removes the light gray lines that help show the edges of photos with white areas near the border.

               Both of these settings are enabled in the example.

Hi LuckyGirl.

Dragon-Fur gave a good explanation of the multi-up prints project in HP Photo Creations, which prints all photos at the same size. If you want more control, try a collage print project. Collage prints allow you to add up to 60 items to a page, including photos, text boxes, and graphics. You can rotate and overlap the photos, apply shapes and borders, copy a photo to the background for texture, and more.

You can find collage prints in the Collages menu.

HP Photo Creations is a free download for macOS and Windows at www.hp.com/go/hppc.

Hope this helps,

P.S. — Notice how the two small photos at the top right of this layout are copies of the main photo, zoomed and cropped. That's a nice way to highlight parts of an image.
