Creating and Modifying Print Presets
After examining a selected preset’s print settings, you may want to change certain settings. You
can do this by modifying an existing print preset and then saving it, or by duplicating an existing
print preset and making changes to it. You use the presets stored in the Custom Presets area of
the Print dialog to create and save your customized print presets.
Note: The settings modied in the Standard and Contact Sheets presets are reset to their default
values each time the Print dialog is closed.
To create a new print preset using the Duplicate Preset command
You create new print presets by duplicating existing print presets and then making modications
to them.
1 Select a photo, then choose File > Print Images (or press Command-P).
The Print dialog appears.
2 In the Print dialog, select a print preset under Custom Presets that you want to duplicate, then
choose Duplicate Preset from the Print Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon).
3 Enter a new name for the preset.
4 Modify the settings as appropriate, then choose Save Preset from the Print Action pop-up menu.
You can now select this preset whenever you need to use these print settings.
To modify an existing print preset
Any preset you created can be changed, either temporarily or permanently. If you change a
preset’s settings without saving it, the preset will revert to its original settings after the print job
is processed. If you save the modied settings, the preset will retain the setting changes.
1 Select a photo, then choose File > Print Image (or press Command-P).
The Print dialog appears.
2 In the Print dialog, select the print preset that you created and want to modify under Custom
Presets, then click the More Options button.
3 Modify the settings as appropriate.
4 When you’re ready to save the preset, choose Save Preset from the Print Action pop-up menu
(with a gear icon).
The print preset is saved with its new settings.
To delete a print preset
You can delete a print preset that you no longer use.
1 In the Custom Presets section of the Print dialog, select the preset you want to delete.
2 Choose Delete Preset from the Print Action pop-up menu (with a gear icon).
3 Conrm the deletion in the dialog that appears.
The preset is deleted from the Custom Presets list.
