Hello, I am looking for the sw to which I can say:
these 4 photos with this dimensions I want to place to paper A4 and print it.
GIMP is very sophisticated and I´d prefer something much more simple.
Any idea and recommendation?
Thank you,
Martin
Martyn,
check Gwenview, I like the print dialog.

sounds like you are looking for the openSUSE HAL 9000 version…which
will be standard in version 11.1 (or later)…
it remains a very sought after upgrade (i, for example, have been
waiting for it since 1968)…you can read about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_9000
but, until SUSE provides that you might TRY OpenOffice.Org Writer:
pop open Writer (check that it is set to print on A4) click on the
blank document, then (on the menu) go
Insert > Picture > From File
then, in the just opened dialog choose the photo’s file name that you
want to add to the page …
once on the page, you can then ‘grab’ the photo with your left mouse
button and place it where you want it…and, add more photos…and,
play with the size…and and and and
and press F1 to get the Writer’s help dialog…then just say (into
your computer’s microphone) “HAL, show me the way to place a border
around the picture”…and WAIT another 50 years…or, today you can
just type in ‘pictures’ and look down the LONG list of instructions
(which includes ‘borders’, and ‘cropping and zooming’ and all kinds
of neato stuff)…
when finished i guess all that will be left to say is “HAL, please
print one copy, delete the document, open a new one, pick the next
four photos from the same directory, and continue that way until you
have produced a stack of A4s which include all the photos.”
it will happen, just wait!

buckesfeld: I didnt see any dialog for multiple printing… although for one picture the dialog is good.
DenverD: long articel, quite zero information…
so to use Writer, I am afraid of loosing the quality - the same like MS Word.
I am looking for sw or dialog where I can say (write, choose - for DenverD) this three photos/files with dimensions 13x9cm print one by one to one page. Nothing else.
The problem is that if I want to print more photos in such dimensions to one page I must print it eg three times for one page. The Gwenview dialog works for it, I can put one to top, one in the middle, one below. But It doesnt work for four photos … etc.
Tried Digicam ? IIRC,it has the facility for printing multiple photo’s on one page

Bonus point if you know the source.
One of the greatest books (and series!!) I’ve ever read.

Well goodness! If you want to be a snot about it… I can play!!
I think Windows has software that will do what you want…
GIMP is not that difficult to use… do you use PhotoShop? Just about the
same.
Qimage says they can do what you want:
http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage/
although they want $35 to $90 for it.
Maybe if you used bigger paper you could get 4 per page?
=========================
DigiKam, as suggested by DeltaFlyer44 has an excellent wizard for printing
multiple photos per page. Pretty slick, select all the photos you want on a
page, click image → print wizard, click and drool a few times… voila!
4 photos on A4, aligned, sized, all automagically.
AND… it won’t LOOSE your quality like OpenOffice might. (Have you tried
it? Your claims are yet unsubstantiated, it might work wonderfully)
Remember, OpenOffice is NOT Microsoft’s product.
==========================
Oh yeah… we have a sense of humor here, I know I do. (you guys figured out
what to watch?) It’s not all “work” “work” “work”. We’re pretty good at
finding solutions to problems… and generally have a decent time doing it.
I’d seriously recommend Digikam. It will do what you’re asking. And won’t
LOOSE any quality in the process.

Is my safety harness too loose?
Could you guys please leave the help forums for technical issues and have fun over in the non-support forums?
Thank you

Digikam can indeed print several photos to one page. Good stuff Digikam is.
Google Picassa can also do this.
Thanks to all of you who replied me short and useful answer - Digikam can do what I was looking for.

Indeed, I very much enjoyed this book (I read the first book around 40 years ago). … but at only 2 books (from what I recall), the series was far too short!

Edit: Ooops - I should have read the entire thread - apologies to buckesfeld.

There were 9 books or so… read all of Heinlein’s books… Mike is revisited
in “The Cat Who Walks Through Walls” and “To Sail Towards the Sunset”… All
of them fit together. “The Number of the Beast” gives us Dora… “I will
Fear No Evil” adds some characters and depth, “Time Enough for Love” really
introduces Lazarus Long, “Glory Road”, “Job: A Comedy of Justice”,
“Friday”… all introduce characters and universes we’ll see again, Honest…
they call come back together in the last few books. Rather a shame the
author passed away.
