Printing images


To print any type of image, you first select general printing options and then specify settings for a particular image type. You can preview how the image and selected options will appear on the printed page and adjust the position and scale of the image.

Photoshop Elements provides three printing-related dialog boxes: Print Preview, Page Setup, and Print. Some printing options may appear in multiple dialog boxes depending on your printer, the print drivers, and your computer's operating system. For example, you may be able to access output options in both the Print Preview and Page Setup dialog boxes.

To print an image with its current print options:

Do one of the following:
  • Choose File > Print, or click the Print button () in the shortcuts bar. Then click Print or OK.
  • Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and choose File > Print One.

    • Note: By default, Photoshop Elements prints a composite of all visible layers. To print an individual layer, make it the only visible layer in the Layers palette before choosing the Print command. (See Viewing layers.)

    To select print options:

    1 Choose File > Page Setup, and select an installed printer from the pop-up menu at the top of the dialog box. (You can also select an installed printer in the Print dialog box.)

    2 Select a paper size and orientation, and click OK.

    3 Choose File > Print Preview, or click the Print Preview button () in the shortcuts bar, to do the following:
  • Adjust the position and scale of the image in relation to the selected paper size and orientation. (See Positioning and scaling images.)
  • Set output options. (See Setting output options.)
  • Set other printing options. (See Printing part of an image and Choosing a print encoding method.)
  • Set color management options. (See Using color management when printing.)

    • 4 Click OK to save the print options for the image, or click Print to print the image. Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click Print One to print the image without displaying the Print dialog box.
