In-Depth Information
After you click the Print button in Elements' Print window, you see
OS X's
Print dia-
log box, where you make your final print setting choices—like paper profile (more on
that in a minute) and color management.
Figure 16-5
explains how it works.
First, choose the printer you want to use from the dialog box's Printer menu. Next,
click Show Details to expand the dialog box (see
Figure 16-5
), and then choose paper
and color options from the unlabeled pull-down menu that starts out set to Layout (it's
the one that's open in
Figure 16-5
, bottom).
Your paper and color options vary depending on the kind of printer you have. Select-
ing a paper profile may sound complicated, but it's usually as simple as selecting the
kind of paper you plan to use (Photo Paper Plus Glossy, say) from a list of choices.
Setting color options can be as easy as choosing “high-quality photo” from a list of
quality settings, and usually you'll have someplace to specify Printer Color Manage-
ment, although probably not in the same menu item. (There's a bit more about color
management when printing on
Color Management
.
)
When everything is set, click Print and Elements prints your photo(s).
