To resize the file, since it isn’t sized the way I want it already, I’ll head up to the Image > Image Size menu item and click. Basically, I’m at the point of output, so editing things isn’t even a question anymore. This is assuming that I’ve already gone ahead and completed any edits I’d like to make to it.

The first and probably most important thing I’m going to do is properly size the photo for printing. It has a default size of 6.4 inches by 4.267 inches and a resolution of 300dpi.įor the purposes of this post, I’d like to print the image with a size of 6 inches by 4 inches. I’m not sure if it’s important that I share exactly what the subject of the photo I’ll be using for this demonstration is, but I will anyway. While there are many more options during this process that I won’t discuss, what I do cover should point you in the right direction and should assist you with printing out files in a straightforward manner. I’ll focus on the things that matter, such as image sizing, paper selection and printer selection, along with a few other important details. In today’s post, I’ll work through the process of printing a photo via Adobe Photoshop, from start to finish. It’s that path I intend to share with you today.

While there are a lot of options and while they can seem overwhelming, there is a basic path to follow that’s much less complex. It’s understandable why we do this as the print setup process can be somewhat convoluted.

We spend all sorts of time editing our photos and graphics, but when it comes time to output them to paper or another medium, so many of us play a guessing game. One of the most oddly confusing tasks many of us undertake when working in Adobe Photoshop has to do with printing.
