Using Aperture's Print Dialog
After you finish soft proofing and adjusting your images, select them, and choose File
Print.
You'll see a print dialog like the one in Figure 7.5. There are three key parts to the Print dialog. On
the top left, you'll find all the different print style presets, including contact sheets and custom
preset layouts (which we cover shortly). On the bottom left are all the print options (which we also
cover shortly), but by default Aperture only shows a limited set. Click More Options to see the
complete set of options as already done in Figure 7.5 (note that the button changes to read Fewer
Options.). The right side of the dialog contains a preview of your print.

Configuring a Standard Print
Typically, when photographers talk about wanting to make a print, they want to print one image
per sheet of paper at a specific size. Aperture calls this type of print a
standard
print. Select
Standard from the presets area to begin. Notice how the preview on the right displays your image
as filling the page as much as possible. Next, you set a variety of options to control how Aperture
places the image on the page and prints it.
