DO MORE WITH YOUR PHOTOS
2
Choose your output
Enter the Expert editing mode and click the Create
tab. In the Photo Prints panel, you can print a group
of opened photos as a contact sheet. If you don’t possess a
printer, you can click the Order Prints button to get a third-
party company to print your photos and post them to you.1
Set up the colour space
Open ty_elements07.jpg. Go to Edit>Color Settings.
If you plan to share your images online, tick Always
Optimize Colors for Computer Screens. If you plan to print
your images, choose Always Optimize for Printing. This helps
to ensure that the colours of your images are printable.4
Choose a size
To print directly from your computer to a printer,
click the Local printer option on the Photo Prints
tab. A Print dialog will appear. Choose your printer from the
Select Printer menu, set the Select Paper menu to A4, set the
print size you want to use, and tick the Crop to Fit box.3
Set measurement preferences
Photoshop Elements offers print sizes in centimetres
and millimetres. If you prefer to measure your print
sizes in inches, go to Preferences>Units & Rulers and set
the Print Sizes menu to Inches. This enables you to set your
printer to resize a shot to typical print sizes such as 4”x6”.6
Make a greetings card
You can combine shots together in more creative ways
to produce personalised printed calendars or greetings
cards. Close ty_elements07.jpg and open our other flower
images – ty_elements05.jpg and ty_elements06.jpg. Go to
the Create tab and choose Greeting Card.5
Set up your printer
Click the Page Set Up button, choose the Quality &
Media option, and set Media Type to suit the paper
you’re using (such as Glossy Photo Paper). Set the Print
Quality to High. These settings will make the printer take
longer to print the image, but the results will be worth it.
