■ Special Effects. Special filters such as “illustration look,” monochrome
effects, and color replacement.
■ Borderless Printing. Select the width of the margin of the image. Similar

by selecting N-Up in this dialog box.
■ Summary. Information about your image.

Always preview your image by clicking on Preview in the Print dialog box (see
Figure 9.24). You will save precious photo paper and can easily cancel and return to
your image.

Resizing an Image Step by Step
The title of this section is somewhat of a joke. Resizing in iPhoto is about as simple
as missing that “Kodak moment” by half a second. iPhoto includes a one-click solu-
tion to changing the resolution of images. This feature, called Constrain, includes
the most popular sizes that amateurs like to print, such as 8×10, 4×6, and 5×7 (see
Figure 9.25). This is a simple resizing choice for quick crops.
