Just one question. If you are using a contact sheet and you set the image properties to be such that they are not auto-rotated or scaled to fit the cells exactly (so there are still parts of the cell that are not covered by the image) - how does your tip work? When I try, my black background image covers the full page however the cell space that is not filled by the image remains white. Do you know a work around for this? Thanks David Hi, great tip.

Do you know a work around for this?

Clic the Export JPEG button to save a .jpeg file. Beware : once one file is created, stop the treatment or it will create as many files than you have pictures in your directory or collection. - secondly : go to the library module an import the .jpeg file into your collection or directory. - third : go to the print module, in the print job area : select print to a file, determine the sizes of the page, in image setting : check zoom to fill, uncheck stroke border, in layout area : put the margins cursor to their biggest size, page grid =1line and 1 column, cell spacing : to their biggest size so the colored image spread upon the whole page. then click on the print to file button to create a .jpg file. - fourth : in the print module, select a picture and move the cursors to define marges, cells numbers, etc ... check the identity plate and after double click over it, choose edit button, check the use a graphical identity plate, locate file button and select the .jpg file ... and here it is !
