Printing a Light Table Arrangement

You can print an arrangement of images in the Light Table.

To print a Light Table arrangement:

1

Select a Light Table album in the Projects inspector.

The Light Table appears above the Browser.

2

Do one of the following:

 To print selected images: Select the images you want to print in the Light Table.
 To print the entire Light Table arrangement: Deselect all images in the Light Table by

clicking the background.

3

Choose File > Print Light Table (or press Command-Option-P).

4

In the Print dialog, specify the following settings:

 Select a Light Table preset in the Preset Name list.
 Make sure the settings in the Printer Selection area are correct, such as paper size

and ColorSync profile.

5

After you’ve verified that all the settings in the Print dialog are correct, click Print.

Your Light Table arrangement is printed.

Creating and Modifying Print Presets

After examining a selected preset’s print settings, you may want to change certain
settings. You can do this by modifying an existing print preset, creating a new, undefined
print preset, or duplicating an existing print preset and making changes to it.

Creating a New Print Preset

In almost all situations, it’s better to create a new print preset than to modify an existing
one. You can easily create a new print preset based on any existing print preset. Creating
a new print preset does not modify or delete any existing print preset settings.

To create a new print preset:

1

Choose File > Print Images (or press Command-P).

The Print dialog appears.

2

Choose a print preset category from the Print Preset Action pop-up menu at the
bottom-left side of the dialog.

A new preset appears in the Preset Name list.

3

Enter a new name for the preset.

4

Change the print settings as required, then click OK.

You can now select this preset whenever you need to use these print settings.
