Wallet-size photo


Introduction

Wallet-size photos can be carried with you and are ideal for sending in letters, displaying in collages, or on the fridge. Learn how easy they are to create using Windows Live Photo Gallery or your HP Photosmart printer.

Printing wallet-size photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery


Selecting photos from Windows Live Photo Gallery
Select the photos you'd like to print. If you want multiple wallet-size prints on one page, just select one image.

Select 'Wallet' from Windows Live Photo Gallery print options
Once you've selected Wallet from the size options, your photos will appear in the print preview.
When you use Windows Live Photo Gallery to organize your photos, creating 2" x 3" wallet-size prints is easy.

If you don't already have Windows Live Photo Gallery, download it here.

Step 1: Select which photos you'd like to print wallet-size. If you would like to print several copies of the same photo, just select that one photo.

Step 2: Select the Print tab.

Step 3: Choose Wallet from the list of custom sizes on the right.

Step 4: If you've selected multiple images to print, you should see them tiled together on the page ready to print. If you've chosen just one photo, go to the next step to print multiple copies on one page.

Step 5: Your single photo will show up in only one of the nine spots available. To fill the page up, go to Copies of each picture at the bottom of the window and type in "9". (You can, of course, print fewer if you choose.)

NOTE: Crop and edit your photos prior to printing using your favorite photo editing software.

You're ready to print multiple wallet-size copies of your photo on a single page.
