I just downloaded and am trying PrintRipper. I have many photos that are in a 4x6 format that I print in an 8x10 size. (I've done a tight in camera crop so I'm stuck with the 4x6 format.) Anyway, I can't crop so I put a banner on the top part of the 8x10 print to fill in the blank space. It's relatively time consuming to do this with Photoshop so I was hoping PrintRipper might do this. I've set the border to use my banner .png file and that seems to come out fine. However, the software is cropping the 4x6 photo to the 8x10 size and thus crops part of the subject and causes the banner to cover the subject also. Is the software capable of doing what I want it to?

Hi,

I think the upcoming version of PrintRipper (1.5) would be able to do what you need, which will have the ability to define placement, size, and image count per page (package maker).

We are at least a couple of weeks off from release of version 1.5.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check back in a couple weeks and see what you have. I'm looking for a software package that will do something like this easily. I can do it now but my part time help can't. If I can get a package where he/she can drag the photo into a folder and just place it in the template, I think they could easily learn that.
One issue I noticed with your present package is when dragging a photo into the hot folder it is deleted from the parent folder. You can copy and paste and it stays but to drag it, removes it. Is it possible to drag it without it being removed from the parent folder? I realize it can be archived but I have photos in many different folders filed by date and would prefer not having to try to get them back to the correct folder after printing them.
Just a few questions.
Thanks,

Just thought I'd check in to see what the status is of version 5. Thanks.

We ended up doing a rewrite of our Chroma Key algorithm, which has delaying the release of 1.5. We're wrapping up the Chroma Key section this week and will hopefully be on track for a release before the holidays.
