Chapter 16: Printing Your Photos 419
Printing at Home (The
Organizer)
NOTE If your camera takes photos in sRGB and you’ve been editing them in No Color Manage-
ment or “Always Optimize Colors for Computer Screens,” then don’t alter your workflow by choos-
ing Adobe RGB for the printer profile. Your colors may shift drastically. If for some reason you
want to change the color space for the printer, first go to Image
Convert Color Profile, and then
apply the Adobe RGB profile to your photo. If you aren’t absolutely sure that your printer under-
stands Adobe RGB (many inkjets don’t), and you don’t have a compelling reason for changing,
then it’s best to leave things alone.
There are limitless variations on how you can use the color settings in Elements,
and you may need to experiment a bit to find what works best for you. See the box
“Economical Print Experiments for advice on how to cheaply test out a bunch of
different print settings. If you go looking around for more information, you’ll find
that this is a very controversial subject. Everyone has a different approach that’s
the “right” one. In fact, you have many options that can lead to good results.
Printing at Home (The Organizer)
Elements also lets you print from the Organizer, which gives you many more out-
put options than the Editor, including the ability to print several photos on one
page. You can create contact sheets of thumbnails,
