have a say in color management, but that almost always mucks things up. The good news is
that Elements does its best to keep you from double-managing color, and it tries to make
managing the color in your prints as painless as possible.
In the More Options dialog box, you have four main color-management choices to make:
▪
Color Handling
. Here's where you decide who's going to be in charge: your printer
(Printer Manages Colors) or Elements (Photoshop Elements Manages Colors). The
choice you make here determines your options in the rest of these settings. Elements also
gives you some hints about your printer settings, as you can see in
Figure 16-7
.
Figure 16-7. When you choose Printer Manages Colors, Elements reminds you to turn on your
printer's color-management feature. In Windows, click Printer Preferences as shown here to
adjust your printer's settings. (Macs don't have this button, since you change these settings in
the OS X Print dialog box [page 538], although the text in the Elements Print window also
refers to “Printer Preferences” for Macs.)
▪
Image Space
. This setting shows you which, if any, color space your file is tagged with
(for example, sRGB or Adobe RGB). You don't actually choose anything here—this line
is purely informative. (See
Choosing a Color Space
for more about color spaces.)
