Color Handling

Printer Profile

Rendering Intent

Specifies how colors are translated from the image’s source color space when certain colors are not available in the print space.

Scale an image in the Print dialog box

Scaling an image in the Print dialog box changes the size and resolution of the printed image (the file size of the image doesn’t change).

  1. Choose File > Print. Click More Options in the Print dialog box. Select Custom Print Size option and do one of the following:

    • Select Scale To Fit Media to scale the image to fit on the page.

    • Specify the units of measurement from the Units menu and enter values for Height and Width to rescale the image numerically. The dimensions are constrained, meaning that changing one dimension proportionately changes the other dimension.

If your image (PSD or TIFF) is multi-layered, use the Layers panel to temporarily hide the layers from view and prevent them from printing.

  1. In Expert mode, open a multilayer image.
  2. In the Layers panel, click the Eye icon  to make a layer invisible.
  3. When only the layers you want to print are visible, select File > Print. The Print dialog box opens with only the visible layers showing in the thumbnail preview.
  4. Set your printing options and click Print.
