I am working on a project for the family and would like to print out small
photos ranging from 1"x1", 1"x2", 2"x3", etc. Can anyone recommend good
software, free or pay, which will allow me to print out phots in various
sizes with little trouble.

Regards,
Bill

Any program that resizes or crops to a specific dimension will produce
photos of any size. Irfanview, for example. (Google it, and download
for free)

Your problem will be the printer. Most printers will not print photos
of that small size. You will have to print multiple images on larger
paper and cut to the individual size. For example, set four 2" x 3"
photos on a 4" x 6" format, print that, and cut apart.

You'll need software that will allow you place multiple images in one
image file. Gimp (free) would do it, or Adobe Elements (purchase)
would do it. If it's a one-time project, you can download a 30 day
free trial version Adobe Elements. There's going to be a learning
curve with either program.

Usually you need hardware, and printers in particular, in order to
print out photos. :-)

First place you should look is the disk of software that came with the
camera.

You can easily insert them into a word processing document, size them how
you want and print as many as will fit on the page.

My Canon Pixma iP4300 photo printer has software that allows you to print
photos in small sizes, too. So, if you haven't already got a printer,
consider getting this one (current model is iP4500, I think).
