Creating photo packages at home

I have lots of friends who are amazing photographers. Some are dabblers, while others have massive lenses they cart to our kids baseball games (you know who you are!). It's lots of fun to see the people I care for enjoy the hobby I love so much--even if I do occasionally get lens envy.

Some of my friends print to our local lab, others have the lab deliver prints to their home (must be nice!), and a few friends swear by Costco for their printing needs.

Me? I print lots of my photos at home on my trusty Epson printer. I don't have fancy schmancy printers at home, so for the "big stuff" I send it out, but when I need to print photos for my scrapbook pages or for relatives quickly, my home printer works just fine.

I've been busy at work preparing a few video tutorials on how to print photo packages at home. Hopefully the readers of the magazine will see how easy it is to create packages at home and save themselves some gas money by not having to run back and forth to Walgreens.

The two tutorials I created show you how to print multiple photos onto one sheet of photo paper using Photoshop Elements 8 or Picasa. Check them out if you've been wanting to learn how to get lots of photos to print quickly but weren't quite sure how to get started. It's super-easy and super-fast!

Thanks for sharing! I've never seen the Photoshop picture package feature- cool! The videos on CK are helpful to watch.
Nice picture of your son too!
