I had a similar problem when I tried to use one of the existing templates on a
larger paper format (say A0 on pdf printer). It was hard to understand why for
most templates not all of the available page area was used. I then found that
"(4 photos)" in the template description means 4 photos PER page, no matter how
large the page but was still puzzled why the album templates still did not use
the whole page. Finally, I found out about custom templates.

A common scenario is to fill a printed page with a given number of photos. I
found templates like this following useful:

 <paper name="any" width="0" height="0" unit="" >

    <template name="grid_2x2_nodpi" dpi="0" autorotate="false">
      <photogrid pageWidth="0" pageHeight="0" rows="2" columns="2" />

    <template name="grid_2x3_nodpi" dpi="0" autorotate="false">
      <photogrid pageWidth="0" pageHeight="0" rows="2" columns="3" />

    <template name="grid_3x2_nodpi" dpi="0" autorotate="false">
      <photogrid pageWidth="0" pageHeight="0" rows="3" columns="2" />

    <template name="grid_8x4_nodpi" dpi="0" autorotate="false">
      <photogrid pageWidth="0" pageHeight="0" rows="8" columns="4" />
    </template>

    <template name="grid_4x8_nodpi" dpi="0" autorotate="false">
      <photogrid pageWidth="0" pageHeight="0" rows="4" columns="8" />
    </template>

    </template>

  </paper>

Please consider adding these.

I am not sure if there is way to define a template which just specifies the
photo size (say 4" x 6") and then fits as many photos as possible on a
arbitrary page size.
