Build a multi-page layout

The method

Step by step.

1. Select photographs in Library, right-click, and choose Add to Layouts. You can also add the active photograph from Edit or use Choose Folder in the Layouts photo tray.
2. Select a Canvas ratio and a Composition: Single, Diptych, Triptych, Grid, Portraits above, Portraits below, Stacked, Spread, or Freeform.
3. Drag photographs into the composition. Fixed compositions retain their slots when margin and spacing change; Freeform allows independent placement and resizing.
4. Click + beside the canvas to add a page. New pages begin with the first page’s canvas size. Select a page to customize it; drag page labels to reorder or right-click to delete.
5. In Appearance, choose White or Black and adjust Margin. Spacing appears when the composition has gaps. Select a photograph for Image fit and Auto-crop white frame.
6. Click Export JPEG at the bottom right. Choose the filename and destination. One page produces one JPEG; several pages produce numbered JPEGs without creating another folder.
