I've watched the video "teststrip" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yby04h2K-zo several times and I must be missing something. In that video, Fred is able to get two separate images on one sheet of paper at the desired image size.

I thought I have followed the video step-by-step, but I have not been successful. Here's what I've done:

Paper orientation is portrait, both images are portrait.

Under Printers and Settings I set the paper size to 8.5 x 11. I add my two images by clicking on the plus sign on the thumbnails and have chosen Fit to Page and Crop Scissors on.

Then I go to the Full Page Editor and click the Test Strip icon until the image size is 5.12 x 6.84 and repeat for the second image but only one image appears on the page. It's not until I make them 3.28 x 4.38 do they both appear at the same time (side-by-side).

If I could get them to rotate they would both fit on the paper at 5.12 wide. I have tried setting the paper to Landscape but when I do so, the images rotate also - which leaves me with the same issue, except in the other direction. I have tried this with auto rotate on and off.

I would be grateful if someone could point out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

It wasn't your fault. That video was made using a version that had not had the various placement options installed yet.
Your question was good for everyone.

It can't rotate unless there's enough room, Simple example. 
First screen snap 079 is showing an image, crop scissor on. with Qimage told to make an 8 x 10.
Next  screen snap 080, is showing crop scissor off, and I used a square image for effect, could be any image with less than a 5:4 aspect ratio. OU will present with its native aspect ratio. In the example: 4.75 x 4.75.

So in screen snap 081, now that there's room, the image will rotate.

Fred and Mike, thank you both for your help - I appreciate it.
