Is there any fix a to stop telling me there is no disk in the drive
Please insert disk.
Using WIN8.1 PRO

To those complaining about paper sizes...
There is a drop down that says CUSTOM

Installed quickly and flawlessly on Windows 7/64

Does exactly what I need - arranges images on a standard A4 or A3 sized sheet, either multiple images or repeats of the same image in any chosen order up to 49 images per sheet. Both US and metric paper sizes available for selection.

This does not add fancy borders as some software does but does what it says on the box and does it well and allows you to save your layout for future use.

It is not intended to enhance your artistic efforts but to enable you to print multiple images on one sheet and I am delighted to have it. Thank you 2 pilots and GAOTD.

#2 and #13. You're not likely to find a $30 piece of software which will force your printer to print out what's on your monitor. Graphics artists often spend thousands of dollars on high end monitors, software and calibration devices to achieve this; and even then, doing a perfect calibration can be time consuming and generally a pain in the butt.

Accept the software for what it is, with its limitations, and enjoy it.

I have tried everything and can not get Photo Print Pilot 2.1.5. I get the folder and extract files. Hit the set up and all I get is taken to Giveway of the day and message program activated but no program downloaded. I have Windows Vista.My printer is HP Photosmart 7510. So giving the program a thumbs down.

Downloaded and installed with no problems on my win7 32bit cpu. I printed a picture and so far so good. no problems here. thx Gaotd, however my old hp printer can perform most of this type of printing except print by folder or in bulk. maybe it will I never tried it before. This program could use a hue and saturation adjustment as my pictures color were not so great.

@10. Probably the problem has nothing to do with win 7, but with your security SW. Disable for a short time the virus scanner and the firewall and it may work.

To my mind the single biggest challenge in printing at home is getting the color right. As #2 XP-Man noted, there is often a discrepancy between what's on the screen and what gets printed. It usually takes several prints and lots of tweaking to get it right if you're serious about your photos, even with a calibrated screen.

If you really want to make a useful program for home printing, solving that problem should be a top priority. I'd happily pay $29.95 for that.

This is just to arrange the pictures and that is all. It can not adjust the brightness or contrast. Some pictures came out pale and some came to dark. There is no way to correct that. Uninstalled.

was there a template that would fit a dvd cover 'exactly' instead of the ones available that have to be trimmed and still leave white space on the ends?...anyone?

On Windows 7 32bit or 64bit, the setup.exe of Photo Print Pilot does not start working. It is just "stucked". I can see it in the Processes of the Task Manager but it does not work. Please HELP !!

I like the program, but confused whether this is a beta, because from the developer it shows v2.1.. as the latest, see below.

Could someone pls confirm? Thanks

Photo Print Pilot version history

January 15 2014 :: Version 2.1.3

Been using Picasa for many years and it can't get much better than that.

Seems like a nice piece of software. @Nigel above: In my version there are multiple templates in the program. Granted, I'd like to see some different ones, and some standard paper sizes for the US. A suggestion might be to have them sort by cm then inches. I did not see a standard 8x10 listed. NOT everyone prints 8.5x11.

The install was problematic (something I've come to expect at GOTD). My AV, Comodo, was tripped, even when I put the setup file in as an exception and scanned it as a separate file. This happens almost every GOTD file. It is not the first time I have mentioned it here, and not the first time I have sent the file to Comodo.
I just hope someone at GOTD is working on it. 'nuff said.

Picasa does this and lots more. Free. http://picasa.google.com/

I got a similar message on Win 7 Ultimate saying there was no disc in Drive "A" of all drives, but after a reboot the messages stopped.
As to the program itself, very basic and not enough templates. Even a template shown on their website which is for an older version (2.1.3) than the version given here today (2.1.5)with four horizontal pictures + two vertical pictures is not available in the program.
Not the most professional of programs, maybe Giovanni can suggest something better, and maybe even portable?

I have Windows 8.0 Pro and although installation went without a problem, when I run the software, I get several messages telling me 'there is no disk in the drive, please insert a disk...'

I always look forward to this company's products but was disappointed in the lack of functions in today's offering.
From my experience in colour printing on inkjet printers the on-screen view and the printed article often look very different.
I had hoped some method of calibration would be included in the program and that test strips could be made so that the best rendition of colour could be chosen.
None of these are included which renders it of little use to someone like myself who only prints occasionally.
Having said that I should imagine for someone who does a lot of printing and everything is calibrated it could be useful.
Many different templates are available and page after page can be filled with photographs arranged to the users convenience, then it is just a matter of printing them.

In my opinion of limited use to occasional users like myself, hence, it would be rather an expensive piece of software for what it does, even though it does it well.

Installed on a Win 8.1 pro 64 bit System without problems. Self registered.

Finally a software with a real company behind, and a real name. The name of the CEO. A moscow based russian company. Claims to be founded in 1991. That's good. With a postal adress. Not so often found on the GOTD programs.

The software opens an easy to understand window, you choose your paper size, you choose your pictures and you can arrange them freely, borderless(*) or not. If you wish you can add a date stamp or crop the pictures beforehand. In my short test, it works without any problems.

a "but"...

Exactly this does my software, delivered with my photo printer. It has some more specific features for my Canon and HP printer. Why should I choose this? I'll explain it with the russian market. If printers are not delivered in the original case with the normally added photo software, or if you buy a second hand printer without the software it could be usefull.

The others will stick with the printer software ... or use this software as an easy to handle tool.

For me, no real use.

Thanks Mr. Rais Garifullin and GOATD...

(*) for some reason, borderless is on my Canon printer in this special case not borderless.
