Lightroom’s Print Templates

September 25, 2008 by Jeff Lynch

One of the most useful features in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 is the ability to easily create custom print templates and collections like the one shown here.

Lightroom's Print Templates

It’s also very easy to save the output to a JPEG file and later upload to a print service such as Mpix.

The best place to learn more about using Lightroom’s Print module is in Scott Kelby’s new book The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers or at Matt Kloskowski’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Killer Tips blog. These two guys know Lightroom in and out!

BTW, I got this template from Matt’s blog and modified it using techniques outlined in Scott’s book. It took all of 30 seconds to complete and even less time to upload the output to Mpix for a quick 8×10 print!

Hey Matt,

Was that a little gray beginning to come in at your temples or did you let Dave set the lighting up for your “Conspiracy” video?

Just kidding Dave. I want you to know that I have nothing but the greatest respect for our neighbors to the north. “Shoot. Puck. Score”! (Ya Sure You Betcha A)

  Arny,
  
  You should be able to print an A4 borderless print from Lightroom if your printer supports borderless printing. Make sure your paper size is set to A4 as well as your print size in the Print module. Try printing to a jpeg to make sure you have the parameters set correctly.

  Buddy,
  
  Thanks for reading. The font used on these fine art prints is called Christopher Hand by El Stinger. Just Google “Christopher Hand” and you’ll find a few sites where you can download it.
