Customize package layouts
You can add as many image cells as you like to a Picture Package or Custom Package layout, and arrange them on the
page automatically or manually. Lightroom offers six standard photo cell sizes. If you add more photos than fit on a
page, Lightroom automatically adds pages to the layout.
1 In the Cells panel, click to add cells in the desired size or sizes to the layout. Lightroom optimizes their placement
on the page for the fewest cuts.
Note: Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) to duplicate a cell.
2 (Optional) Drag the image cells on the page to rearrange them.
3 (Optional) To resize a cell, select it in the work area and drag the handles from the side or from a corner. Or adjust
the Height or Width slider in the Adjust Selected Cell area of the Cells panel.
4 Select any of the following options in the Cells panel:
New Page Adds a page to the layout.
Auto Layout (Picture Package layouts) Optimizes the arrangement of the photos on the page for the fewest cuts.
Clear Layout Erases the page layout.
Note: To delete a page, click the red X in the upper-left corner of the page in the work area.
You can save custom picture package layouts as a custom print template.
Printing overlay text and graphics
Print your identity plate
1 In the Page panel of the Print module, select Identity Plate.
2 (Optional) To choose or create a different identity plate, click the triangle on the lower-right of the identity plate
preview window, and choose from the pop-up menu. See
Personalizing identity plates and module buttons .
3 To adjust the opacity or scale of the identity plate, move the sliders or enter a percentage value.
Note: You can also scale the identity plate by clicking the identity plate text in the work area and dragging a slide or
corner of the bounding box.
4 To rotate the identity plate, click the Rotate button (0°) and choose Rotate Onscreen 90°, Rotate Onscreen 180°, or
Rotate Onscreen -90°.
5 To move the identity plate, drag it or press the Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow, and Right Arrow keys.
6 To have the identity plate appear on every photo in a multiphoto template, select Render On Every Image. The
identity plate is centered on each photo and can be scaled or rotated using the controls in the Overlays panel.
7 To have the identity plate text appear behind the photos, select Render Behind Image.
Note: Make sure the template layout lets enough of the identity plate show from behind the photos.
