Changing Page Setup and Printing

When you ve got an image ready for printing, check the page setup, preview the picture, and then print it. You can perform these operations easily with keyboard shortcuts. You can also print an image quickly without using the Print dialog box.

Tip

In many of Photoshop s dialog boxes, you can press [Alt] (in Windows) or [Option] (on the Mac) to change the Cancel button to a Reset button for resetting the dialog box. The [Alt] or [Option] keypress may also change other buttons in the dialog box: for example, in the version of the Print dialog box that includes a preview of the image, pressing [Alt] or [Option] changes the Print button to a Print One button, the Cancel button to a Reset button, and the Done button to a Remember button. Similarly, in a dialog box such as the Filter Galley dialog box, pressing [Ctrl] (in Windows) or [ z ] (on the Mac) changes the Cancel button to a Default button.
