iPhoto's fifth printing style provides two templates that mix photos of different sizes. The first template places three photos on a page (Figure 6.8); the second arranges six photos on a page. Figure 6.8. Template 1 of iPhoto's Sampler style prints three photos on a page. Uses for sampler sheets:Print collections of photos for relatives, instead of printing individual prints. Print your most recent photos for an informal, gallery-style display. Tips | Unless you plan to cut the printed photos out, make sure all the photos you print with a Sampler layout are of the same orientation. If you mix landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) photos, iPhoto can't orient them all correctly. If you want your printed page to be in portrait orientation, use landscape photos with Template 1 (Figure 6.9) or portrait photos with Template 2. If you want your printed page to be in landscape orientation, use portrait photos with Template 1 or landscape photos with Template 2 (Figure 6.10). Figure 6.9. Here's the preview of landscape photos printed with Sampler Template 1, which results in a page in portrait orientation. Figure 6.10. Here's the preview of landscape photos printed with Sampler Template 2, which results in a page in landscape orientation. Pay close attention to iPhoto's preview to make sure you know exactly what will print before clicking the Print button! To control their page location, arrange the photos manually in an album first. If you select only one photo, iPhoto uses that photo in all the spots on the page. With careful trimming, you can fit a sampler sheet into an 8" x 10" frame. For different layouts, either print pages from a book layout or see "Printing Custom Layouts," later in this chapter.
