ptg 386 Chapter 16 The Print command is probably the most used of all Photoshop's print options. In addition to normal printing functions, such as Copies and Pages, the Print command gives you other menus that let you control specific printing functions, such as output ink and color management. Understand that the options available for the Print command will be partially determined by your default printer. For example, if your default printer uses more than one paper tray, you will see options for select- ing a specific tray for the current print job. In spite of the differences, there are some universal options for all print jobs, and these are cov- ered here. Printing a Document in Macintosh Print a Document in Macintosh Open a document.

There's no hassle; you just get a printed copy of the image, using Photoshop's default print settings unless you already have them set and saved. When you save a document, any unique print set- tings are saved along with it (New!). The Print One Copy command does not open a dialog box, so when the option is selected, the printing process starts and an attempt is made to print the document. If you try to print an image that is larger than the paper's printable area, an alert dia- log box appears. If this happens, you have the option of continuing the printing process, or canceling. Otherwise, the Print One Copy command is a one-click way to get a fast printed copy of your active document. Printing One Copy Print One Copy of a Document Open a document. Click the File menu, and then click Print One Copy. Photoshop prints a single copy of the image without a dialog box.

When this happens, you have the choice of continuing or can- celing. If you choose to continue, the image will be clipped. In most cases it's best to cancel the Print command, and then adjust the image size to match the printable area of the image.
