Can I upload a 12x24 layout to shutterfly?

I have a layout on a 12x24 template. I have unsucessfully been able to upload it to shutterfly. For some reason I remember reading somewhere that there is a way to do that?!?!

The way I've done it is to make two copies in PSE or PS. I flatten each copy, crop each to a 12x12 layout...one for the right side and one for the left. Then save them like you do for the rest of your Shutterfly layouts (jpeg). Then you upload each side. Maybe someone else does it differently, but that's how I've always done it. P.S. Don't forget to turn off vivid pics once you've added them to your album.

You wouldn't be able to print it at those dimensions or in one of the books. You could see what size posters they make and then create a document with the same ratio and put your layout on it. That would get you a poster that you could then trim. If you want the layout in a book, you need to split it into two 12 x 12 documents. Select the rectangular marquee tool and set it to "fixed" 12x12 in the options bar. Then put the marquee over one side of you layout (flatten the layout first). Type Cmd/Ctrl-C to copy that side. Create a new 12x12 document and type Cmd/Ctrl-V to paste that side of your layout. Repeat those steps for the other half of the layout. Upload the two 12x12 layouts to Shutterfly and put them side by side in a book.


HTH!
