• Color Management
Printing Choices Enables you to specify the following settings:
• Photo Details You can print the date, caption, and filename by selecting the following options:
• Show Date
• Show Caption
• Show File Name
• Border You can specify the following details for the border:
• Thickness in inches, mm, or points.
• Color of the border
• Background color
• Iron-on Transfer Select Flip Image to use image for T-shirt transfers.
Note: Some printers have the inverting images option. If so, ensure that you use either your printer driver settings or the
Invert image option to invert images. Selecting both the options horizontally flips the image twice.
• Trim Guidelines Select Print Crop Marks (guide lines on all four edges of the photo) to make it easier to trim a
photo.
Custom Print Size Enables you to specify the following settings:
• Print Size You can specify the width and height in inches, centimeters, millimeters, points, and picas. Select Scale
To Fit Media to scale the image to fit on the page.
Color Management Displays the color profile of the photo. Image Space shows the color space embedded in your
photo file. (The print preview in the Print dialog box is not color managed and doesn’t update as you choose a profile.)
You can change the profile for printing from the following options:
• Color Handling You can choose to have either your printer or Photoshop Elements manage colors, or you can
choose no color management.
• Printer Profile Enables a custom printer profile to convert image colors to the printer’s color space, or turns off
color conversion. If you have an ICC profile for your printer and paper combination, choose it from the menu. Make
sure that you turn off the printer driver’s color management.
• Rendering Intent Specifies how colors are translated from the image’s source color space when certain colors are
not available in the print space.
Scale an image in the Print dialog box
Scaling an image in the Print dialog box changes the size and resolution of the printed image (the file size of the image
doesn’t change).
❖ Select File > Print. Click More Options in the Print dialog box. Select Custom Print Size option and do one of the
following:
• Select Scale To Fit Media to scale the image to fit on the page.
• Specify the units of measurement from the Units menu and enter values for Height and Width to rescale the image
numerically. The dimensions are constrained, meaning that changing one dimension proportionately changes the
other dimension.
