I have printed an 8.5 x 11 page of 4 images on photo paper (matte) and I forgot to include a small inset picture. When I go to reprint the page deactivating all layers except the one I forgot to print, I can’t make the inset opaque. In layer pallette I have chosen 100% opacity but the tiny picture prints as if it were transparent. This allows the picture under it to show through.

Yes, Ramon. I had printed the entire page with the four pictures but had left out a tiny inset picture of a person. I am trying to print the already printed page again but only add the tiny inset picture.
The background image shows through. I want the inset picture to be opaque.
Mary, the ink is on the paper printing over something that has ink on it will not remove the ink that is there. Word will not do this either. What CN is telling you to do is. Prepare the file as it needs to be printed with all the layers turned on and print it again on a fresh sheet of paper.
Regardless of the application you are using, you absolutely cannot print anything over an already printed image and not expect the underlying image not to show through. It doesn’t matter if it’s Photoshop or a word processor.
It would ONLY work if you were printing the small image over a BLANK space on your print. This is what might have happened with your word processing image,
Okay, this means that I must toss out 25 printed copes where I forgot the inset. I did a check and found that the rest of the copies will be okay when the inset is in place before I print it.
Too bad! I guess I’ll have to proof more carefully next time before I start printing. The trouble occurred when I decided to do the page on PS for better quality color reproduction. When I recreated the page in PS I forgot to include the inset photo. (It had originally been created as an Appleworks Draw document.)
Thanks for your help.
Maybe I can print multiple copies of the tiny picture and attach it to the page with a bit of rubber cement!
