Single image or contact sheet

The Print module (1) allows us to prepare photos for printing.
We start in the category of “Layout Style” (2) and select the photo (s) (3) in the film strip, which we wish to print.

I will begin with the first option, the printing of a picture (4) or the printing of a contact sheet.
Select this option and click the “Page Setup” (5).
This opens the dialog “Print Setup” (6).

In the dialog box, select the printer you want to print. For most of us, there will only be one, so you have little choice here.
You choose the format and you choose an orientation.

This picture will not print, you just mention the specific printer settings.
The next settings we determine are the “Image Settings”. Pretty self explanatory.

What I can tell is the difference between “Rotate To Fit” in the “Image Settings” and the “Landscape” in the “Printer Settings” dialog above, is that we see the display on your screen. Nothing more nothing less.
The “Stroke Border” places a border around the photo. You can choose a width and color.

In the “Layout” you determine the “Margins”, the “Page Grid” to the “Cell Spacing” and “Cell Size”.
Self explanatory, but I will just explain more.
With the “Margins”, you determine the space between the pictures and the edge of the page.
The “Grid Page”, when you print multiple photos on one page. We call it a “contact sheet”.
Here you specify the number of rows and / or the number of columns in which you want to place the various photos.
The “Cell Spacing” is only available when you print multiple photos on one page.
The “cell size” option lets you determine the size of a cell in the photo.
Select the “Keep Square”, then the cells will appear in the form of a square.

In the “Guides”, you determine whether you want to show or hide the guides for “Rulers”, “Page Bleed”, “Margins and Gutter” and “Image cells”.

The options in the “Page” seem clear to me.
Maybe just this.
Select the checkbox “Photo Info”, then you have the options like file name, date and more of such information to add to each picture.

And the options in the “Print Job” seem obvious to me.
If you choose “Draft Mode Printing”, then the colors are automatically managed by the printer.
And you have no options such as “Resolution” and “Print Sharpening”.

Click the “Print One” or “Print” button when you’re done.
