I've not had that problem with any of my Adobe products.
I have saved this thread for standby should it ever be needed.
Thank you.

I should have stroked the second image to make clear the wide border to one side. I tried to delete port-pkg-2, without border, but wasn't successful. photo hosting

callsign, Do you have a sample of your portrait package that you could post? I've attached a sample of my portrait package. When I was in the studio many of our customers wanted extra prints. We could give them soft copies on CD. These were produced on 8.5x11 which matched most of the papers available for home printing. We stopped using the automated package printer because there we sometimes variations in the print. Most were barely noticeable but still there. The automated process would sometimes crop off a little bit on the top or sides. We then created/cropped our own sizes (i.e. 8x10 to 4x5, 5x7 to wallet size) and then plugged them into a template (we premade) or we just did a copy, paste and moved things to fit on the page. This took a little longer to produce but ensuring the quality for our customer was worth the effort. We made templates for packages that were most often requested. Our second template we made for our police photography. We used this template for accident coverage, insurance claims, crime scenes, etc. These were made on 8.5x11 because that was the size of regular typing/printer paper. We left a wide border to one side so these could have 2 holes punched in them for ease of filing.

I sent you a PM with several questions. As a studio photographer I used Picture Packages a lot. I'm not sure if my thought on Picture Packages is the same as what you're looking to do.

He has some beautiful work. I may consider upgrading to PSE11 or newer so I can use these.

I have mixed emotions about things like Portrait Pro. During my time as a civilian USAF photographer it was always stressed to not misrepresent the images we were producing. Portrait Pro doesn't misrepresent but it does create/alter an image, sometimes significantly.
When I was in high school the senior portraits were taken on black and white 4x5 sheet film. We did some retouching to flatter the subject but NOT do a makeover.
I would have liked to have had this in the photo studio to flatter our clients but it would be very easy to go overboard with this and produce an image that is no longer representative of the subject.
I think for advertising this is a tremendous tool.

I don't like Halloween. I never liked it as a kid. As a parent/grandparent I like it even less. I'm always worried for the safety of kids. To this end, safety, I came up with a series of seven Halloween Safety montages. These were published, one a day, for the seven days before Halloween. These were a blast to make and the kids were very willing models.

I had a terrific job in the Navy. When I retired I went looking for my dream job and got it - staff photographer. I got to process and print, wet process, learn digital, shoot all sorts of activities, portraits, training images, ceremonies, crime scenes and even a plane crash. But the real fun came in during a lot of military exercises I got to cover with the Air Force and the Army. I got yelled at a couple of times during this exercise. Seems, like most photographers, I'd do just about anything to get a good shot. But my colonel said standing under the helo and jeep was not something I should do. Some people just don't understand.

We even get snow in Texas, sometimes. And, it usually is gone by noon. Last year I was able to get this shot of the HQs building and put old time photocorners on it. It made a nice Christmas card.

This is the first I heard the term journaling in association with scrapbooking. It fits.

Cameras are a lot like potato chips - you can't have just one. At work I used a Nikon D200. At home I have a bunch of cameras, Olympus, Nikon, some fully auto matics Fuji, Canon and a Polaroid. One day I went into work after a heavy rain the night before. The attached was taken with the Polaroid 3030 camera which I bought new for about $25. This just goes to show you don't always need a super-money-flex camera to get a good picture.

My wife wanted something special for the oldest grandson. So I got him to cooperate for a photo. I created this magazine cover. My wife put it in the front of a three ring binder. All his art work went into this binder.

Grandkids are great. You get them pretty much whenever you want them, especially i the early years, spoil them rotten and send them back to mom and dad. This little guy has always been a good kid. I made this digital product after he insisted on taking his grandmother to the playground.
