Re: Printing multiple images

The way I accomplish this is as follows:

(1) open all the images you wish to print on a single sheet;
(2) scale images to desired size if necessary;
(3) select one image and increase the canvas size to the size of the
sheet;
(4) move the image to where you want it on the sheet;
(5) add a transparent layer for each of the other images;
(6) select the second image, copy it, paste it into one of the layers
you added to the first image, and anchor it;
(7) move the image to where you want it on the sheet;
(8) repeat steps (6) & (7) for the remaining images, using another
transparent layer for each;
(9) print the image.

You can flatten the image before printing if you wish, but it is not
necessary.
