The process of printing an image in Photoshop is slightly different in the Windows and Mac OS operating systems. The chief differences are in the Page Setup step, in which you select a printer and choose orientation, paper size, and other parameters. The next few sections take a closer look at Page Setup in the two operating systems.
Using professional printing services
Even if you own a photo-quality printer, you may want to take advantage of professional services from time to time. For example, you may own a dye-sublimation printer that cranks out snapshots with aplomb but can’t give you a 5-x-7-inch or 8-x-10-inch print.
Hop in the car and jaunt over to a retailer in your area equipped with one of those stand-alone kiosks, such as the Kodak Picture Maker. These devices accept images in many formats. You can use your digital camera’s memory cards, Kodak Photo CDs, or diskettes to supply fodder for the kiosk. Most include scanners that can capture your original prints, slides, and negatives.
They even offer Photoshop-like picture-fixing capabilities. You can adjust color, repair red-eye problems, crop or enlarge your images, and add text.
Many photofinishers or service bureaus can make prints from your Photoshop-edited images if you burn them to a CD, save them to a Zip disk, or upload them to an FTP site over the Internet. You can often purchase greeting cards, T-shirts, mouse pads, and other printed output that is difficult to duplicate at home. Large-format prints, posters, and murals are other cool options.
Online service providers are also becoming increasingly popular. Adobe has partnered with shutterfly.com and MyPublisher.com to offer prints of all sizes, calendars, and professionally printed and bound photo books.
