(Mac OS) In the Print dialog box, choose a printer and then specify printer settings. Use the pop-up menu below
the Presets menu to choose the options to set.
Note:
(Mac OS) Before clicking Save, choose Save As from the Presets menu if you want to save your printer settings as
a preset. You can have multiple presets for a printer.
Print in draft mode
You can use Draft Mode Printing to print contact sheets and quick drafts of a photo. In this mode, Lightroom uses
cached photo previews when printing. If you select photos that haven’t been fully cached and print them using Draft
Mode Printing, Lightroom sends their thumbnail data to the printer, and the print quality of those photos might not
be what you expect. Sharpening and color management controls aren’t available using Draft Mode Printing.
❖
In the Print Job panel of the Print module, select Draft Mode Printing.

About print templates
Templates contain layouts for printing your photos, including any text overlays and print job settings. Lightroom has
a Template Browser with premade templates to use for common tasks, such as making prints and contact sheets.
Templates have image cells for containing photos and margin information. If you specify overlay options, a template
can also contain text areas. A template’s image cells and margins scale to accommodate the paper size you specify.
Your selected photos appear in the work area in the center of the Print module in the template you choose. The
preview updates when you choose a different template or specify different print options, such as text overlays or how
the photos fill the image cells.
Print job settings, including the paper size and printer, are also saved in a print template.
You can create new templates by modifying the settings of existing templates. Select a template, and then use the
controls in the right panels of the Print module, specify the paper size and printer settings in the toolbar, and then
add a custom template to a folder. You can also modify a template’s image cells by dragging the margin guides or cell
boundaries. Layout setting modifications, overlays, and print job specifications can be saved as a custom template.
Choose a printing template
The Template Browser of the Print module has several premade templates to accommodate the most common
photographic printing needs. It also lists custom templates you have saved. Moving the pointer over a name in the
Template Browser displays its page layout in the Preview panel at the top of the left column. Clicking a template name
displays a preview of selected photos in the work area.
❖
In the Template Browser of the Print module, select a template.
The preset templates appear under the Lightroom Templates folder, but you can add new folders and custom
templates. Click the arrow next to a folder to expand or collapse it.
