Add Multiple Images to a Spread
Drop a whole selection at once and let Spreadu build the layout.
Placing photos one at a time is the slow way. Select the images you want in the photo library, drag the whole set onto the spread, and Spreadu solves a layout around them. From there you rearrange until the story reads right.
This is the fastest route from a full gallery to a finished spread, and it is usually a couple of minutes rather than an afternoon.
