Viewing and Reorganizing Films

Images that are added to the Print Film window are grouped into films. Films allow you to preview the layout of the images that will be printed on each page.

The number of films that are created depends on how many images you have added to the window and the selected layout settings. For example, if you select 10 images and have set a layout of 1 x 2, then images will be organized onto five films displaying two images each.

When you load multiple images, they initially appear in the Print Film window in the same order in which they were added. You can exchange the position of two images on the same film, or across multiple films, in order to print them in a way that best suits your workflow.

To view films:

  1. Click the Film tab corresponding to the film you would like to view. If necessary, use the Next and Previous arrow buttons to view additional films.
