382 CHAPTER 14 Printing (Photoshop) Printing part of an image You can use the Print Selected Area option to print a specific part of an image. To print part of an image: 1 Use the rectangle marquee tool to select the part of an image you want to print. 2 Choose File > Print Options, select Print Selected Area, and click Print. Choosing a print encoding method By default, the printer driver transfers binary information to printers; however, you can choose to transfer image data using JPEG or ASCII encoding. For more information, see "Choosing a print encoding method" in online Help. Printing vector graphics If an image includes vector graphics, such as shapes and type, Photoshop can send the vector data to a PostScript printer. When you choose to include vector data, Photoshop sends the printer a separate image for each type layer and each vector shape layer. These additional images are printed on top of the base image, and clipped using their vector outline. Consequently, the edges of vector graphics print at the printer's full resolution, even though the content of each layer is limited to the resolution of your image file. Keep in mind that including vector data likely increases the size of your print job, especially if the vector objects overlap and use transparency. To print vector data: Choose File > Print Options, and select Include Vector Data. Using color management when printing Different devices operate within different color spaces-for example, your monitor operates in a different color space than your printer, and different printers have different color spaces. The color management options in the Print Options dialog box let you change the color space of an image while printing, to get a more accurate color printout. (Depending on the designated printer and print drivers on your computer, these options may also appear in the Print dialog box.) To use color management when printing, you first specify the source color space containing the colors you want to send to your printer. This space may be the document's current color profile (if you want the printout to match how the document appears on-screen), or it may be the current proof profile (if you want the printout to match your current soft proof). Second, you specify the color space of the printer to which you are sending the document. Specifying the printer space ensures that Photoshop has enough information to interpret and reproduce the source colors accurately on the printer.
