i found the missing steps or i should say CORRECT steps Go to Windows Explorer pics i want are in a folder called Bernie in my windows 10 explorer Go to each picture PROPERTIES Change to open in WINDOWS EXPLORER and not Print .net ctl + A on Bernie select print all 4 pics are now in printer select 3.5x5 one picture was slightly too big but i can tinker with size later and get it right. all these pics came off a camera phone so they are all very close in size once i get the exact size down right it should be good for all of them Thanks Eli for all you help your comment that you did it all through Explorer was the clue i needed thanks everyone who helped as well - process of elimination is just as important in finding a solution as the solution itself Quite often those bits of knowledge are useful elsewhere too.

that did NOT work i even closed paint.net and tried it and it still did not work. i only had windows explorer open nothing else i then did the ctl+ A on to highlight the four pics and then clicked on Print the second i clicked on PRINT while in Windows Explorer it opened up Print.Net and right back to just one of the four on a page it totally does not work

here is my StepByStep tell me where i went wrong Open Paint.net go to file open pics i want are in a folder called Bernie in my windows 10 explorer ctl + A on Bernie select open to send them to Paint.net all 4 pics are now in paint.net go to file in paint.net select print select 3.5x5 but only one of the 4 show up and it only prints that one an paper as 3.5x5

Eli i need a much better StepByStep i did the ctl+A and that worked but when i choose the 3.5x5 format to print only one pic of the 4 pics showed up for printing on the format also i never had to resize pics when i choose whichever layout i wanted it always went to that size proportionally of course that can mean a smaller or larger border around it but it always fits in the size.IE 3.5 x 5 However now i'm looking to mix up different pics on a page and not have 4 pics of the same picture anyway this is the closes i came to what i want. Now if only the other 3 pics show up on the layout i must be missing one of your steps

Eli like you i don't think the printer is the problem that was someone else that suggested it See post #12 i'm looking closely at your image and the pics don't look equal in size how did you select 4 different pics all at once ? when i tried i had to do it one at a time. now how did you get 4 different pics onto one page and why are they not equal in size ? That is a major point i'm looking to take say 4 separate pictures put them on one page where they are all equal in size 3.5 x 5 and then print them out. NOT in different shapes or sizes. i don't know how else to say that. No one seems to understand that. i'm thankful for everyone wanting to help but it seems no one can.

i've had problems in the past d/l zip files and i'm not keen on a zillion steps to do something that should be simple layering seems over my head i did look at paint shop pro and they make it sounds real simple to do what i'm looking to do. the big problem is the cost. that is one reason I love paint.net

i dont think my printer is a problem i have an HP Officejet 3830 its a good printer and not that old either

you are right that is not what i'm looking for. i'm looking for copy & paste or drag and drop kind of solution i guess this something paint. net can't do thanks anyway i appreciate your help

lets say its an 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper print net allow a printout of FOUR 3.5 x 5 pictures now instead of it being FOUR pictures of PICTURE A sized 3.5 x 5 i'm looking to put PICTURE A in one of those four 3.5 x 5 PICTURE B in one of those four 3.5 x 5 PICTURE C in one of those four 3.5 x 5 PICTURE D in one of those four 3.5 x 5 forget the color, density, layers , or any other kind of adjustment these are FOUR totally DIFFERENT pictures ok i hope that all helps i think i ran out of ways to describe what i'm trying to do.

i kinda doubt it i could be wrong but it looks like what it does is take layers of the SAME picture and putting them together in multiple pictures a page. That is not what i am after. i had hoped i said it correctly i'll try another way of saying it i want to take 4 totally different pictures. Not layers of the same picture. 4 four totally different untouched pictures and put them all on one page as four 3.5 ''x 5 '' and then print them not looking to layer, not looking to change density or anything else. just put four different pictures as 3.5 x 5 as a print out.on one page. its looking like that is not possible with program

is there an unautomatic/unautomated way to do it ? not trying to be funny i just don't know what either is i was kinda looking for copy/paste or drag and drop those are terms i understand automatic/automated not so much i get the impression that its not workable at all with paint.net next question without hearing a loud gasp would be is there another picture program that could do it ? Such as maybe Paint Shop Pro ? i'm way too poor and simple minded for adobe no matter what i do thank you for the replies

thank you for your response but no that is not my problem. I print often enough to be able to adjust pics the way i want. The density of color is not my issue. Let me explain it better. when you do a printout you can select should it be full size, 2 pics at 4 x 6 2 pics at 5x7 4 pics at 3.5 x5 9 pics at wallet size but if you select say 2pics at 5x7 you get 2 of the SAME pics at 5x7 size what i'm after is how can i select 2 totally DIFFERENT pictures at 5x7 ( or another way of saying ONE each of 2 different pictures at 5x7 ) in truth i'm after 3.5 x 5 so i can get 4 totally different pictures on ONE page of paper thanks again i really do appreciate the offer to help.

i have several hundred pictures and i want to print them as 3.5 x 5 but i want different picture in each of the 3.5 x 5 boxes is there a way to do that - hopefully an easy way to do that i already know how to do a whole sheet of the same picture. and i'm not looking to merge pictures. thank you for any advice. A tutorial would be great too.
