Photo printing software for home printer in questions and answers

  1. I have created a project and wish to send the result to friends as an attachment by email. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?
     
  2. Quite often I send files with my Print Pilot projects to a photo lab for paper prints in the size 8.5 x 11 inch. The lab accepts JPG files which I generate with the export function of Print Pilot. So far I could only get Print Pilot to generate JPG files with 748 x 1092 pixels. This is not enough for paper prints in the size 8.5 x 11 inch. Do you have any recommendation on how to generate files with higher resolution?
     
  3. Is there a way to resize more than one photo at a time in Print Pilot?
     
  4. Can I use this program to place 6 (or more) photos plus captions on standard 8.5 x 11 photo paper and print it on my home color printer?
     
  5. I don’t really care so much about photo editing. I want a program that will allow me to place a sheet of 4×5 photo paper in my Canon S820 printer and print a 4×5 tiff image. The software that came with the printer will print a borderless 4×6 jpg file on 4×6 photo paper on the S820 printer. How can I do 4×5?
