Sharpen a photo for print
Print Sharpening lets you sharpen the image before it’s sent to the printer. Print sharpening is performed in addition
to any sharpening that you apply in the Develop module. The amount of print sharpening that is automatically applied
is based on the file’s output resolution and the output media. When Draft Mode Printing is enabled, Print Sharpening
is disabled. In most cases, you can leave Print Sharpening set to its default option, Standard.
❖
In the Print Job panel of the Print module, do one of the following:
•
(Optional) Select Print Sharpening and specify Low, Standard, or High sharpening using the pop-up menu on the
right. Then, specify whether you are printing to Matte or Glossy media. Matte includes watercolor, canvas, and
other nonshiny types of paper. Glossy includes luster, semigloss, photo gloss, and other shiny types of paper.
Note:
The paper type specified in the Print Job panel is used to calculate print sharpening. Some printer drivers may also
include a paper type option in the Print dialog box that must be specified separately.
•
Deselect Print Sharpening if you don’t want any sharpening applied in the Print module. This option is useful when
the sharpening you have applied in the Develop module produces the desired results.
