Modifying an Existing Print Preset
Any existing print preset can be changed, either temporarily or permanently. If you
change a preset’s settings without saving it, the preset will revert to its original settings
after the print job is processed. If you save the modified settings, the preset will retain
the setting changes.
To modify an existing print preset:
1 Choose File > Print Images (or press Command-P).
The Print dialog appears.
2 Select a print preset, then modify it as appropriate.
Changing an existing preset’s settings activates the Save button.
3 When you’re ready to save the preset, click Save.
The print preset is saved with its new settings.
Duplicating a Print Preset
If you frequently use the majority of a specific print preset’s settings, changing one or
two items such as the type of printer or the paper size, it’s more convenient to
duplicate the preset with the print settings you need than to create a new one. For
example, if you plan to frequently print 8-by-10-inch and 11-by-14-inch prints on the
same printer, you can create a preset for 8-by-10-inch prints with the appropriate
settings, duplicate the preset with its settings, and then change the paper size. Then
name one preset 8 x 10 and the other 11 x 14. After that, you simply select the preset for
the image size you plan to print, and click Print.
To copy a new print preset:
1 Choose File > Print Images (or press Command-P).
The Print dialog appears.
2 Select a print preset to duplicate, then choose Duplicate from the Print Preset Action
pop-up menu at the bottom-left side of the dialog.
A new duplicate preset, based on the currently selected print preset, appears in the
Preset Name list.
3 Enter a new name for the preset.
4 Change the print settings as required, then click OK.
You can now select this preset whenever you need to use these print settings.
