# Print Preview options

Print Size
  Specifies the size of the printed image:
  Actual Size
    Scales the image based on its document size. To find out the document size, choose Image > Resize > Image Size.
  Preset Sizes
    Scales the print depending on the size you choose from the Print Size menu (5.3 x 7.1, 8.9 x 12.7, and so on).
  Fit On Page
    Scales the image to fill the printable area of your paper.
  Custom Size
    Uses the actual size as a basis from which you can start. You can specify new sizes in Scaled Print Size.
Scaled Print Size
  Enter the values you want in the Scale, Height, and Width text boxes. You don’t have to choose Custom Size before entering the values.
Position
  By default, Center Image is selected, which centers the image in the printable area of your paper. To reposition an image, deselect Center Image and enter values in the Top and Left text boxes. You can also drag the preview image to a different position when the Center Image option is deselected.
Crop To Fit Print Proportions
  Ensures that a photo prints at the size chosen from the Print Size menu. If you choose a size that doesn’t match the photo perfectly, the photo is scaled and cropped to fit. In some cases, objects around the edge of the photo are cut off. It’s important to look at the preview image to make sure nothing important is lost with the selected layout (simply choose a larger size from the Print Size menu if you’re not happy with the look of the photo).

Show Bounding Box
  Shows a bounding box with corner handles around the preview image. You can use the corner handles to scale the image manually.
Border
  Prints a border around an image. Specify the width of the border by entering a number and choosing inches, millimeters (mm), or points. To choose a color for the border, click the Choose Border Color box. The border appears only in the printed image. The image file on your computer is not altered.
  Select Choose Border Color to select a border color.
Filename
  Prints the filename above the photo.
Caption
  Prints any caption text embedded in the image’s file information. Captions are always printed in 9‑point Helvetica plain type.
Color Management
  Displays the color profile of the image. To change the profile for printing, choose from the following options:
  Color Handling
    You can choose to have either your printer or Photoshop Elements manage colors, or you can choose no color management.
  Printer Profile
    Sets a custom printer profile to convert image colors to the printer’s color space, or turns off color conversion. If you have an ICC profile for your printer and paper combination, choose it from the menu. Make sure that you turn off the printer driver’s color management.
  Rendering Intent
    Specifies how colors are translated from the image’s source color space when certain colors are not available in the print space.
Background
  Prints a background around an image. To choose a color for the background, click the Choose A Color For The Background box. The background appears only in the printed image. The image file on your computer is not altered.
Print Crop Marks
  Prints crop marks (guide lines on all four edges of the photo) to make it easier to see where to trim a photo.
Transfer Printing (Flip Image)
  Prints the image flipped horizontally. This option is useful for making T‑shirt transfers. Select Invert Image to select the Transfer Printing option. If your printer’s driver has its own control for inverting images, you can select it or Invert Image, but do not select them both at the same time, or you’ll horizontally flip your image twice.
