Staff Lee D Posted December 1, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi ridon1973, Welcome to the forums. Affinity Photo doesn't have any print layouts, unlike our legacy Plus range of apps. It's a feature that's been requested and may be added in a future update. In the meantime you could create a blank document/canvas and use File > Place to insert your images, this would allow you to size and position them as you wish.

picturesofteignmouth Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 actually I'm toying with the idea of changing to W*nd*ws as I'm now annoyed with Mac for upgrading to an OS that won't run my version of Bridge - or Digital Photo Professional or any of my Canon stuff. Affinity is better than Photoshop in all respects except I can't produce contact sheets, and for someone that runs a photo library (albeit as a hobby) that's a major disadvantage. So far I haven't managed to get 'Photos' to do what I want although that's Mac's fault, not yours. What a waste of space (my Mac as it is currently, I mean)!

v_kyr Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Blame the software companies for that (Adobe, Canon), it takes some time for them to adapt to newer OS versions. Sometimes they also wait until things are more stable there for new OS versions. - Further new MacOS versions always also contain a bunch of new things and internal changes, thus it takes some more time until such a complex thing like an operating system works halfway flawlessly (no matter if Win or MacOS) here. Related to Contact Sheets on MacOS there are a bunch of other ways to do these ... Create a Contact Sheet of Thumbnails with Automator in Mac OS X Print PDFs and images in Preview on Mac Printing Contact Sheets How do I make a contact sheet? Generating contact sheets on macOS ... and so on ... There are also third party tools which address this... XNviewMP Contact Sheets ThumbPrinter etc. The same applies to Windows, there are also system based tools which allow to do so and also a bunch of third party apps and viewers which allow to do so. How to print multiple photos on one sheet in Windows 10 Open Windows File Explorer. Navigate to the folder this contains the images Select the images to be printed and click Print On the right hand side of the resulting dialog, select how many up per page To save as PDF instead of printing use/select a PDFPrinter tool Free software to generate contact sheets Using IrfanView Thumbnails to Create Labeled Proof Sheets How to Create a Contact Sheet in IrfanView XNViewMP Generally search the Internet for available solutions here!

It also seems like most printer makers are not particularly interested in providing updated native driver software that is compatible with newer OS versions & their older printer models, including their expensive high end models.

Using n-up printing would then produce a contact sheet, but this option of generating pages that way may also be useful for other types of structured documents involving per-page photos...
