dialog.
To print a single image
1 In the Browser, select an image.
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

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.
