Position and scale images
You can adjust the position and scale of an image using options in the Print dialog box. The shaded border at the edge of the paper represents
the margins of the selected paper; the printable area is white.
The base output size of an image is determined by the document size settings in the Image Size dialog box. Scaling an image in the Print dialog
box changes the size and resolution of the printed image only. For example, if you scale a 72
- ppi image to 50% in the Print dialog box, the image
will print at 144 ppi; however, the document size settings in the Image Size dialog box will not change. The Print Resolution field below the Scaled
Print Size area shows the print resolution at the current scaling setting.
Many third-party printer drivers provide a scaling option in the Print Settings dialog box. This scaling affects everything on the page, including the
size of all page marks, such as crop marks and captions, whereas the scaling percentage provided by the Print command affects only the size of
the printed image (and not the size of page marks).
