Printing images

To print any type of image, you first select general
printing options and then specify settings for a
particular image type. You can preview how the
image and selected options will appear on the
printed page and adjust the position and scale of
the image.
Photoshop provides three printing-related dialog
boxes: Print Options, Page Setup, and Print.
Some printing options may appear in multiple
dialog boxes depending on your printer, print
drivers, and operating system. For example,
you may be able to access output options in both
the Print Options and Page Setup dialog boxes.
Note: You cannot print images directly from
ImageReady. If you have an image open in
ImageReady and need to print it, use the Jump To
command to open the image in Photoshop. Keep in
mind that ImageReady images open at screen
resolution (72 ppi); this resolution may not be high
enough to produce a high-quality print.
To print an image with its current print options:
Do one of the following:
• Choose File > Print, and click Print or OK.
Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS)
•
and choose File > Print One.
Note: By default, Adobe Photoshop prints a
composite of all visible layers and channels. To print
an individual layer or channel, make it the only
visible layer or channel before choosing the Print
command.
To select print options:
Choose File > Page Setup, and select an installed
1
printer from the pop-up list at the top of the dialog
box. (You can also select an installed printer in the
Print dialog box.)
Select a paper size and orientation in the Page
2
Attributes section of the Page Setup dialog box.
Choose File > Print Options to do
3
the following:
Adjust the position and scale of the image in
•
relation to the selected paper size and orientation.
(See "Positioning and scaling images" on
page 377.)
Set output options. (See "Setting output
•
options" on page 378.)
Select halftone screen attributes. (See "Selecting
•
halftone screen attributes" on page 379.)
Set other printing options. (See "Printing part of
•
an image" on page 382, "Choosing a print
encoding method" on page 382, and "Printing
vector graphics" on page 382.)
Set color management options. (See "Using
•
color management when printing" on page 382.)
Click OK to save the print options for the
4
image, or click Print to print the image. Hold
down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and
click Print One to print the image without
displaying the Print dialog box.
