Printing photos

Last updated 11/30/2015

Note: The printer’s color space will generally be smaller then the image’s color space, often resulting in colors that can’t

be reproduced. The rendering intent you choose attempts to compensate for these out-of-gamut colors.

3 (Optional) To achieve colors in print that more closely resemble the bright and saturated look of onscreen colors in

Lightroom, select Print Adjustment. Then, drag the Brightness and Contrast sliders.

Note: Dragging the Brightness and Contrast sliders produces tone curve adjustments. These adjustments do not preview

onscreen. It may take some experimentation to determine what settings work best for your individual photos and your

specific printer.

Save print settings as a print collection

When you save print settings as a print collection, you can add new photos to the collection and they automatically

include the print settings. This is different from custom templates, which include the output options but no photos. A

print collection applies the print settings to the photos in the collection.

1 In the Library module, select the photos you want to print.

2 In the Print module, select a template and specify the settings you want in the panels on the right side of the module.

3 In the Filmstrip, select the photos to include them in output creation.

4 Click the Plus icon (+) in the Collections panel and choose Create Print.

5 Type a name for your print collection in the Create Print dialog box. Choose a collection set from the Set pop-up

menu to add the collection to an existing set, or choose None.

6 Under Print Options, select Include Selected Photos (contact sheet) or Include Referenced Photos (packages).

Select Make New Virtual Copies if you want the output creation to include virtual copies instead of the original

photos.

7 Click Create.

Lightroom adds the print collection to the Collections panel and gives it a page layout icon .
