Print individual photos
To print photos, you begin by selecting the photo or photos you want to print in the Browser.
You can print:
•
Individual photos, one photo per page
•
An individual photo multiple times on the same page
To print individual photos, choose the Standard preset or one of the presets in the Custom
Presets area of the Print dialog. You then choose the Aperture print options you want and finally
use the OS X print dialog to start printing.
Print individual photos, one photo per page
1 In the Browser, select the photo or photos that you want to print.
2 Choose File > Print Image (or press Command-P).
3 In the Print dialog, select either the Standard preset or a preset in the Custom Presets area.
4 In the default print options area, specify the following settings:
•
Choose a printer from the Printer pop-up menu.
•
If necessary, choose a print profile from the Color Profile pop-up menu.
Note: Printer Managed, the default setting, is the appropriate choice in most cases. If you are
outputting to a specific device profile or if you have color calibrated your printer, you should
choose an appropriate profile from this pop-up menu.
•
Choose a paper size from the available items in the Paper Size pop-up menu.
•
In the Orientation pop-up menu, choose whether you want the image printed in Landscape
mode or Portrait mode.
•
Choose the size of the printed photo from the Image Size pop-up menu, by doing one of
the following:
•
To fit the image on the page in its original aspect ratio: Choose Maximum to Fit. If you’ve
chosen a borderless printing option, Aperture fits the entire photo on the page; margins
appear on two sides of the photo where the dimensions don’t match.
•
To crop the image so that it fills the entire page: Choose Maximum to Fit, and select the Crop
Image to Fill checkbox below the Image Size pop-up menu. If you’ve chosen a borderless
printing option, the photo covers the entire page; parts of the photo are cropped if the
dimensions don’t match.
•
To use a standard print size: Choose a standard dimension, such as 5 x 7, from the
pop-up menu.
•
To use a custom print size: Choose Custom from the pop-up menu, then enter the dimensions
in the Height and Width fields that appear below.
5 After you’ve verified that the settings in the Print dialog are correct, click Print.
The OS X Print dialog appears.
To print multiple copies of the selected photos, one copy per page, click the disclosure button
to reveal additional print controls. Next, enter the number of copies that you want in the Copies
field. For example, if you want two copies of each selected photo, enter 2.
