Edge bleeding can result from using an uncoated porous paper.
Edge bleeding
Edges of the print appear fuzzy and shadow areas are clogged and too dark. This usually oc-
curs when using an uncoated paper. Use the corrective steps detailed in 'puddling' above, as
well as choosing a media or paper type such as 'Plain Paper' or 'Backlit Film'. These mea-
sures will change the amount of ink being applied, and the spacing of the ink droplets, to
account for the absorbency of the paper.
In designing Elements, Adobe realized that the web plays, and will continue to play, a large
role in the life of most digital image makers. The inclusion of a web-based Printing option in
the package shows just how far online technology has developed.
Although many images you make, or enhance, with Elements will be printed right at your
desktop, occasionally you might want the option to output some prints on traditional photo-
graphic paper. The Order Prints option, located in the File menu, and in the Create tab after
clicking the Photo Prints button, provides just this utility.

,
Elements users can upload copies of their favorite
images to the company's site and have them photographically printed in a range of sizes.
The finished prints will then be mailed back to you. This service provides the convenience
of printing from your desktop with the image and archival qualities of having your digital
pictures output using a photographic, rather than inkjet, process.
Making your first online prints
In earlier versions of Elements you needed to access the Online Services feature before
uploading your pictures to print, but from Photoshop Elements 9.0 the process was stream-
lined by allowing you to upload directly from the Editor or Organizer workspace. The first
time you use the feature you will need to register for the service but from that time onwards
the feature works seamlessly from inside the Elements package.
