Chapter 12: Printing Photos

Turning on color management

Check your printer’s manual to see if it offers color manage- ment. Color manage- ment can help your printer to produce colors that match the ones on your monitor. If your printer offers color management, click Change picture settings while perform- ing the Print task. Your printer’s dialog box will open, and you can adjust the settings for color management.

Selecting Print Quality

Most desktop printers are capable of printing in a range of qualities, from a low-quality draft mode to a high-quality setting that requires more time and uses more ink. Printer settings for quality and color vary, but you may be able to specify your paper type, ink type, dots per inch required, and color manage- ment preferences. Some printers have simplified printing options such as “Good,” “Better,” and “Best.” Make sure to read your printer’s manual to find out how to take advantage of these different settings.

To select print quality for your printer:

1On the File menu, click Print.

2Click Change printer settings. Your printer’s dialog box opens.

3Adjust your printer’s quality settings, and then click OK.

Selecting a Print Size

The quality of photo prints is directly related to the number of pixels in the photo. A high-resolution photo contains a lot of detailed visual information, and can be printed at larger sizes. For example, a photo whose dimensions are 2048 x 1536 pixels (3.1-megapixel) would look good even when printed as large as 8” x 10” on most printers.

A low-resolution photo has less detailed visual information, and therefore cannot be printed in larger sizes. A photo with pixel dimensions of 1280 x 960, for example, lacks the detail needed to fill an 8” x 10” print. The result would be a grainy, pixilated image. But printing this photo at a smaller size, such as 4” x 6”, would give you a sharp, detailed print.

Determining a photo’s pixel dimensions

How do you determine the number pixels in a photo? If you haven’t cropped the photo since you’ve taken it, you may know the pixel dimensions that you had set on your camera for that photo. But if you don’t remember how you set the camera or if you have cropped the image, you can check to see a photo’s pixel dimensions before you print it.
