ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 377 User Guide To preview the current image position and options: Position the pointer over the file information box (at the bottom of the application window in Windows or the document window in Mac OS) and hold down the mouse button. Positioning and scaling images You can adjust the position and scale of an image in the Print Options dialog box and preview how the image will be printed on the selected paper. The shaded border at the edge of the paper represents the margins of the selected paper; the printable area is white. The base output size of an image is determined by the document size settings in the Image Size dialog box. (See "Changing the print dimensions and resolution of an image (Photoshop)" on page 97.) Scaling an image in the Print Options dialog box changes the size and resolution of the printed image only. For example, if you scale a 72 ppi image to 50% in the Print Options dialog box, the image will print at 144 ppi; however, the document size settings in the Image Size dialog box will not change. Many printer drivers, such as AdobePS and LaserWriter, provide a scaling option in the Page Setup dialog box. This scaling affects the size of all page marks, such as crop marks and captions, whereas the scaling percentage in the Print Options dialog box affects only the size of the printed image (and not the size of page marks). Important: The Print Options dialog box may not reflect accurate values for Scale, Height, and Width if you set a scaling percentage in the Page Setup dialog box. To avoid inaccurate scaling, specify scaling in the Print Options dialog box rather than the Page Setup dialog box; do not enter a scaling percentage in both dialog boxes. To reposition an image on the paper in the Print Options dialog box: Do one of the following: • Click Center Image to center the image in the printable area. • Enter values for Top and Left to position the image numerically. • Drag the image in the preview area. To scale the print size of an image in the Print Options dialog box: Do one of the following: • Click Scale to Fit Media to fit the image within the printable area of the selected paper. • Enter values for Height and Width to rescale the image numerically. • Select Show Bounding Box, and drag a bounding box handle in the preview area to achieve the desired scale.
