Printing a Contact Sheet or Series of Contact Sheets

All you have to do is specify the number of pages or columns; Aperture adjusts the size of the
photos based on your layout and margin settings.

2 Choose File > Print Images (or press Command-P).

If necessary, choose a color prole from the Color Prole pop-up menu.
Note: Printer Managed, the default setting, is the appropriate choice in most cases. If you are
outputting to a specic device prole or if you have color calibrated your printer, you should
choose an appropriate prole from this pop-up menu.
