Can I assemble multiple images in LR so I can print several images a single 8x10 sheet?

Yes, use the "custom package" option in the print module.

It's somewhat tricky. Try googling for some u-tube videos that show how to use the LR print module tools.

I want to thank you for asking the question. I didn't know you could do it in Lightroom till I went and looked in the Print Mode to see if it could be done. Seems to work quite good. I've always done it in Photoshop with layers or use InDesign software.
Good question.

Yes, there are some presets and you can define your own in the print module. It's fussy. I use Qimage instead. A lot less fussy and better print quality.

For contact sheets I generally use IrfanView, a freeware image viewer (Windows only). You have to install the plugin package to get the contact sheets (also freeware).

You can also use the "BOOK" mode, give you the options to publish the document through Blurb or pdf or jpeg.

There are a lot of presets in the options for layout, background etc.

Hello Friends.
I was playing around with the print module. Which is very cool and something I knew nothing of. I selected many photos to the grid. How do I clear them or reset to start over?

Yes, and that's a great feature. I've used it many times.

I sometimes print contact sheets in 2" format - that's large enough for people to actually see the images pretty well. I believe that's one of the presets in LR. One of the things I like is that you can opt to have the image ID (title) printed there also, so you know which one you're looking at. That's a real help if you're using this to decide which ones to print larger. The problem I find in LR is actually switching from format to format. I went back in to the print mode the other day to print a simple 4x6. The previous print had been contact sheet. I could not for the life of me get it to go back to 4x6! Oh well.
