Laying out photos in a picture package

A Picture Package template allows you to print one photo in a variety of sizes on one or more pages.

In the Library, select the photo you want to print.
2
In the Template Browser of the Print module, select a Picture Package template.
Note: Confirm the type of template you've chosen by looking in the Layout Engine panel to see if the template is a Grid
or Picture Package template.
The preset templates appear under the Lightroom Templates folder, but you can add new folders and custom
templates. Click the arrow next to a folder to expand or collapse it.

automatically adds pages to the layout.
