Changing the Film Size, Layout, and Orientation

You can quickly change the film size, layout, and orientation from the Print Film window toolbar. The film layout controls how many images will be displayed on each film for the current print job and how they will be organized on the page. The film orientation determines whether you will print in landscape or portrait format.

When you add images to the Print Film window, the initial film size, layout, and orientation is determined by the print protocol that was last used. However, you can change these settings at any time.

You can also change the film size, layout, and orientation by applying a print protocol.
