Kendra Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I want to print 2 of these on one page. They are for the top of egg cartons I am cutting them out and do not want to waste the paper. How do I get 2 on one page of paper? This is in Photoshop CS6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi Kendra, I suspect this functionality would come down to the "Print Settings", and your printer may or may not support it. You can definitely spend time exploring that button (near the top of the screen) but to be honest, it'll be much easier just to duplicate the design in Photoshop, so there's two on the page, then print it as normal. If you need help with doing that, can you show me a screenshot from Photoshop, showing me the design and your layers panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendra Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I explored the print settings to no avail, so, here is the screenshot requested. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Ok, so you should simply be able to select all the layers except the Background layer, and Ctrl G to group them. Then drag the group to the little page-with-its-corner-turned-up icon at the bottom of the layers panel, to make a copy of it. Then go to the Canvas Size dialog, click in one of the top squares of the three-by-three grid, then double the height of the document. Then, with the Move Tool selected, and the copied group still highlighted, drag all the layers down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendra Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks. So I did that, and the color dissapears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 There must be a black-and-white layer in the group that's desaturating everything underneath it. Just add a mask to the group and make sure it's only being applied to its half of the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendra Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Hmmm. I'm not sure what you mean. Which is the black and white layer? Here are the layers. Edited November 30, 2016 by Kendra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'd say it's the Gradient Map layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendra Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I figured out which layer was changing the color (as circled in blue on right). However, when its unchecked, the chicken color (circled in red on bottom) changes to pure black, which I don't want. I want it to be the color of chicken above.

Damien Symonds Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 It doesn't matter. Just do exactly what I said.

Kendra Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I added a mask to the group. If I use the brush on the wreath, it just erases it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 No, it's the top group you need to mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendra Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Victory! Thank you. Now, lets say I want to change the size of each one to 2inx4in, and fit as many 2inx4in onto a 8 1/2 x11 piece of paper. Is the original method using canvas size dialog the best method?

Damien Symonds Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 No. For that I'd make a new blank document, and File>Place your master PSD into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
