Okay, I know that a lot of you guys use Photoshop for editing and printing covers, and that's what I've been doing. Well, I just ordered 200 UGCs, and I'm going to be printing well over 100 covers. In the past, I had opened up all of the covers in Photoshop that I wanted to print, and went through them one-by-one, printing them individually.

Seeing as how I don't want to be at my local print shop all damn day, I was wondering if you guys knew of any way that I could just print a huge batch of covers at a time, instead of one at a time. It would REALLY save me a ton of time if you guys could help me out with this.

Thanks! ;D

1: Select your covers on your files explorer (use shift).

Shouldn't it be ctrl not shift ?

Use shift if they're all together. If you have files 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10, and you wanted to print 5 6 7 8 and 9, click 5, hold shift, click 9, and 6 7 and 8 are selected as well. If you want to print 1 4 7 and 9, then use ctrl for each one, after the first.

Actually that was new to me. Just checked this

A B C D E F
G H I J K L

and I want to prin B -> K.
Shift clicking B and K chose all in between, but not A and L and works, COOL.
Before I did that by choosing all, holding CTRL and then clicking away the ones I did want.

Well anyway it just learned few months ago that clicking mouse wheel opens link in new tab.  ;D

Okay, I mean, I knew about being able to do this, but is there not a way to bulk print WITHIN Photoshop? The computers at my print store are funny, and aren't set up to properly use Windows's native "Print" option, you have to go through a program like Photoshop in order to change printer and paper options.

Yeah my local library still does the same. Its computers still run on friggin' Windows 2000. I think I got around this through either Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word. I do remember being able to print multiple images, but I really don't know how. You can't select multiple images when Photoshop prompts you to?
