Scale the print size of an image
❖ Choose File > Print, and do one of the following:
• To fit the image within the printable area of the selected paper, click Scale To Fit Media.
• To rescale the image numerically, deselect Scale To Fit Media, then enter values for Height and Width.
• To achieve the desired scale, select Show Bounding Box, and drag a bounding box handle in the preview area.
Print part of an image
1 Use the Rectangle Marquee tool to select the part of an image you want to print.
2 Choose File > Print, select Print Selected Area, and click Print.
Note: If you get a warning that your image is larger than the printable area of the paper, click Cancel, choose File > Print,
and select the Scale To Fit Media box. To make changes to your paper size and layout, click Page Setup, and attempt to
print the file again.
Print vector data
If an image includes vector graphics, such as shapes and type, Photoshop can send the vector data to a PostScript
printer. When you choose to include vector data, Photoshop sends the printer a separate image for each type layer
and each vector shape layer. These additional images are printed on top of the base image, and clipped using their
vector outline. Consequently, the edges of vector graphics print at the printer’s full resolution, even though the
content of each layer is limited to the resolution of your image file.
1 Choose File > Print.
2 Choose Output from the pop-up menu.
3 Select the Include Vector Data option.
If necessary, you can select an encoding algorithm (ASCII, ASCII85, Binary, or JPEG) from the Encoding pop-up
menu. This allows you to choose the way the data is saved and how much disk space it requires. If Include Vector
Data is dimmed, your image doesn’t contain vector data.
4 Click Print.
Note: If you get a warning that your image is larger than the printable area of the paper, click Cancel, choose File > Print,
and select the Scale To Fit Media box. To make changes to your paper size and layout, click Page Setup, and attempt to
print the file again.
Printing with color management
Let printer determine printed colors
If you don’t have a custom profile for your printer and paper type, you can let the printer driver handle the color
conversion. See “Letting the printer determine colors when printing” on page 139.
1 Choose File > Print.
2 Choose Color Management from the pop-up menu.
