image. Then you can click and drag your image to control which specific part Aperture prints. We
recommend cropping your image beforehand when you have more control, and printing your full
image rather than using the Print dialog to crop into an image.
Pay close attention to the Crop Image to Fill check box. Deselect this option. If this is selected,
Aperture will crop your image to match the printable area's aspect ratio. For example, if you try to
print a panorama onto a square sheet of paper, it will crop the panorama into a square image.
While this is great for maximizing paper use, it's typically not what you want when printing
an image.
Image and color options
Aperture has three groups of options to con-
trol your image and color. They are the
Rendering, Image Adjustments, and Image
Options groups, as shown in Figure 7.7.
Rendering options
The Rendering options control the color pro-
files and conversions that Aperture uses for
your print, and these settings are crucial for
having color-accurate prints. The first pop-up
menu is to select whether you want Aperture
or your printer to handle the color manage-
ment. If you want your printer to manage
color, choose Printer Managed. Aperture also
displays a tip, reminding you to enable printer
color management in the System Print dialog
that appears when you click Print. If you
choose to let Aperture manage color, which
we recommend, select your printer and paper
combination's profile from the list. In this case,
Aperture displays a tip reminding you to dis-
able color management in the next System
Print dialog so that you don't accidentally
double-convert your print's color.

The Rendering, Image Adjustments, and
Image Options groups let you adjust your
image's color.
