In Photoshop, you can print a complete image, selected area of an image, or even one or more layers. <p>To print a complete image, select File --> Print from the main menu (or press Ctrl + P). <p>Ensure that the All radio button is selected. You can also set the print resolution by selecting it from the Print Quality drop-down. After making the desired print settings click OK to print. <p>To print a selected area, make a selection in the image using the Rectangular Marquee tool and select File >Print. Select the Selection option button in the Print dialog box and click OK. <p>Note that by default, Photoshop prints all visible layers and channels. If you want to print just certain layers or channels, make them the only ones that are visible and then print. <p>You can also choose to print the filename, along with crop marks, registration marks and a caption along with the image. To set such options, select File >Page Setup in Photoshop 6. <p>You can select the checkboxes if you want to include the corresponding options in the printed image: Caption: Selecting this checkbox will print a caption with the image. This caption can be set in the File Info dialog box. To open the File Info dialog box select File > File Info, and choose Caption from the Section drop-down list. Type a caption in the Caption text area and click OK . Calibration Bars: Select this checkbox to print the calibration and color bars for your image. A calibration bar is a row of 11 gray squares of different values. A color bar is a row of 11 colors. These bars can be helpful when trying to calibrate to a specific printer. This option is available only for a PostScript printer. Registration Marks: Select this checkbox to print a registration mark such as bull's eyes around the image. These marks can be helpful for aligning color separations. Corner Crop Marks: Select this checkbox to view horizontal and vertical lines around the corners of the image, defining where the image should be trimmed. Center Crop Marks: Select this checkbox to view the exact center of the image defined by two crossed lines. Labels: Select this checkbox to print the file name next to the image. You can also print the name of the appropriate color channel if you are using color separations. Negative: Select this checkbox to print an image that appears like a negative of the original image. With this option selected, the colors are reversed. Emulsion Down: Select this checkbox to print the image as a horizontal mirror image of the original image. Interpolation: Interpolation refers to a printer's ability to resample an image as they print it to improve its resolution. This option is useful in case of low-resolution images. <p>The buttons on the left side also present some useful options such as printing a border around the image and printing a background with the image.
