Tutorial 3: Using and Creating Auto Layouts
This tutorial provides an overview of using Auto Layouts and creating
a new Layout. To learn more about Auto Layouts, see this topic, Manual
Versus Auto Layouts.
Tutorial
As in Tutorial 1, steps 1 - 3, you must have Pics
Print open to a blank document.
Change the layout of the document to an Automatic
Layout. From the Page Layout
menu select Automatic Layout and
then 4 Per Page. Pics Print automatically
arranges images so that each image takes up 1/4 of the page.
- In the File menu,
go to Options. Go to the User Interface page of the Options
screen and ensure that Simplified
Interface is unchecked.
- The preview page
should look like this:

Each numbered rectangle represents a location in which an image or
text box can be placed.
- Add 2 images. The first image will appear in
rectangle 1, and the second in rectangle 2.
- Change the layout to Full
Page. The first image will resize to fit the entire page.
The second will move onto the second page and resize to fit.
- In the Image
menu, select Manual Layout. The
document is changed over to Manual Layout.
- Manually change the size of your images so that two
images can appear on one page.
- To save this as a new layout, go to the Image
menu and select Save Layout. You
will be prompted to give the new layout a name.
- The new layout appears in your Layout list.
