In-Depth Information
Okay, so at this point, you've set Photoshop to the proper color space for the type
of photo you're going to be printing (RAW, JPEG, TIFF, etc., see page 356), you've
hardware calibrated your monitor (see page 361), and you've even downloaded a
printer profile for the exact printer model and style of paper you're printing on.
In short—you're there. Luckily, you only have to do all that stuff once—now we can
just sit back and print. Well, pretty much. Also, in CS6, Adobe added some nice
new tweaks to the Photoshop Print Settings dialog, which we'll cover here.
Making the Print
(Finally, It All
Comes Together)
Step One:
Go under Photoshop's File menu and
choose Print (as shown here) or just
press Command-P (PC: Ctrl-P) .
Step Two:
When the Photoshop Print Settings dia-
log appears, let's choose your printer first.
At the top right, choose the printer you
want to print to from the Printer pop-up
menu (here, I'm going to be printing to my
Epson Stylus Pro 3880). You can choose
your page orientation by clicking on the
portrait and landscape Layout icons at the
bottom of the Printer Setup section (as
shown here). By the way, if you've used
this dialog before in previous versions of
Photoshop, you'll be happy to know that
now, in Photoshop CS6, you can actually
resize the dialog to any size you'd like by
clicking on the bottom-right corner and
dragging it out. Here I dragged it out
to the right, so I could see my preview
much larger, and it was at that moment
that I realized that I wasn't seeing the
full image (it's not cropped that tight to
the top of her head).
