Need help on printing pictures from a disk

11 years ago

I have several disks of photos from Photo Works, which has gone out of business and would like to print the pictures as shown on the disk to serve as a reference for the pictures I do have printed out. That is not individual but exactly shown. Can this be done and if so, how? I also noticed some of the disks are dirty and what can I use to clean them? I don't want these many pictures on the computer permanently. Any other ideas would be appreciated
Thanks Marie

Not sure I understand the meaning of..."print the pictures as shown on the disk to serve as a reference for the pictures I do have printed out." It sounds like you want to print groups of thumbnail images. If so, why not copy/paste them into a .doc and then print that? Without knowing the number of discs, number of images and their size...not sure I understand your reluctance to store them on the computer unless you are very short on disc space. If that's the case, a few cheap USB flash drives could solve that problem.

Yes, I want to print the thumbnail images to use as a refrerence. Did not think of copy and paste, but I am not the most experienced on a computer.
Thanks

Yes the red leaves are normal healthy new growth. Now you have to prune the roses ... Do you know what type of roses they are? If they are Hybrid teas they need to be pruned fairly hard down to perhaps only a feet or 2 or even more. But you can also wait to see the roses bloom and then find out what roses they are? Do find a good rose book that will give you some idea of how to prune roses with pruning shears or scissors. I would also give the roses some fertilizers if you have not already done that. Preferably some organic pellet fertilizers. Just Keep asking ... we all have to start somewhere, and many here will gladly help you. Niels

Barbra, I see PB has changed somewhat from the last time I used it. Use two windows, one with GW and the other with PB. I went to "All Albums" then I clicked on the album I wanted to select photos from. This will then display your photos that when you run your mouse over the picture, just below it will give you choices of codes. E.g., click and copy "HTML Code" and paste the code here in the GW Message box. I like selecting various pictures by clicking on the small box just below and to the left of each picture, then go down to the bottom of the page where it says "Generate HTML and IMG code". Click on that and it will take you to another page with different codes. I usually select the first one "HTML clickable thumbnails for Ebay, Livejournal, MySpace, etc. - recommended" and paste here in GW. I like to delete the bracketed word "center" both in the beginning and end of the code to flush my pictures to the left, like this: Or, delete the space right after the bracketed "/a" to have the pictures run like this: Hope this helps, if not just ask.

You would be far better off saving the image to your hard drive then printing it. Right click on the attachment and selcet to save. Then open it in Paint or what other graphics editor you may have.

Call Epson for help. If there is something wrong with it they will know and probably tell you to return it. I have had a couple of electronic things I had to take back.

Marie - there is also a way to print a contact sheet thought the Windows print wizard if you haven't had success yet.

Open the file with the pictures on it. Click on the first picture you want printed, then while holding down the shift key, click on the last one. All the pictures will be highlighted. Right click and select PRINT.

Make sure you paper size is set to what you want, and on the right side select "contact sheet". If you have 8.5x11 paper, it will print 35 small pictures per page. It will automatically make more than one page if you have more than 35 pictures.

Also, in more recent versions of Windows there is a utility called "Snipping Tool" which is in the Accessories folder. It allows you to capture and save/print anything onscreen. It opens a re-sizeable window that can capture any rectangular area, from something small to the whole screen. If you are looking at a bunch of thumbnail views, it can capture all of them that are displayed with one click. Iowagirl's suggestion sounds like it might be better for your purposes, but the Snipping Tool is an alternative.

Here is a link that might be useful: Snipping Tool
