An Overview of Printing
Aperture allows you to print your photos as high-resolution single images and
multi-image contact sheets. You can also print books and Light Table arrangements
created in Aperture. Aperture offers a variety of printing options, including using a
standard or custom paper size and assigning a specific ColorSync profile.
The easiest way to print images is to use one of the Aperture print presets. Print
presets, or groups of print settings, allow you to easily print your images without
having to repeatedly change your settings. If the preconfigured presets don’t meet
your needs, you can create your own.
For example, if you regularly print both 8-by-10-inch and 11-by-14-inch photographs,
you can create a print preset for each of these paper sizes. For photographers with
multiple printers, such as a standard and wide-format inkjet printer, you can create
print presets for each printer. Give the presets a name you’ll remember, and next time
you need to print, simply select the print preset that corresponds to your paper size or
your printer type.
You can modify existing print presets, create new print presets, and delete print presets
you no longer use. When changing your print presets, remember that modifying an
existing preset deletes its original settings; creating a new preset, on the other hand,
does not delete any existing settings.
Before you print your images, you can proof them onscreen using the onscreen
proofing feature. For more information about onscreen proofing, see “
