OK, here is my dilemma.
I have a new baby and i want to print out a bunch or wallet photos to give out. I have a package of Kodak Business Card (2x10) paper that i want to use.
I use photoshop to edit my images. so i have a few options, i could create the whole sheet in photoshop or i could create the image in photoshop and then importe it into word and print it from there.
Are there other options?
my other problem is i always have so much trouble getting the images to line up with the perforations on the card sheets. i looked all over for a pre-made template to import into photoshop or word but had no luck...
HELP!

I've been frustrated by the same issues in the past, and in all honesty, I gave up and went a different route.
A tool like this is quite helpful in getting the exact image sizes that you want:

I then just trim the photos out by hand, or use a paper cutter (great investment!). Perforrated paper never seems to work out for me, because templates are so badly implemented across different applications.
Another alternative is an online service to get wallet prints from a place like www.ofoto.com - if this is something you're planning on doing once, and you need quite a few and great quality, I'd suggest an online service.

If you're not tied to that particular paper, Windows XP prints wallet photos (9) on an 8.5x11 size sheet.

When you select a picture and take the option to print it, the print wizard gives you several options for finished image size - 2 versions of full sheet, 8x10, two 5x7, three 4x6, four 3.5x5, 9 wallets, or 35 image "contact sheet". I'm not sure if your images have to be stored in the My Pictures folder or not since that's where I store mine.

I was trying to get this feature to work, and strangely enough, when I click on the function, nothing happens - the wizard won't fire up for me! :( I've seen it before though...
AHA!
Figured it out. Tip time!
