5. Working with PhotoLine

PhotoLine offers a very powerful printing feature. To adjust the settings, you have to select the function File/Print Options.

Now you can choose between:

Size contains controls to adjust the size of the printed picture. The Zoom combo box is editable and allows to define a scaling. Another way is to edit Width and Height. Both are unit fields and allow to enter the size directly.

In order to rotate the printing by 90 degrees, you have to select Print Rotated.

The modes Normal and Poster allow you to set the position of the printed picture on the page. You have the choice to align it to the left, right, top, bottom or in the center, too.

If you are using the mode Label, you have to define the top and the left edge of the labels on your sheet. Additionally you have to adjust the distance between the rows and between the columns.

CD-Label allows you the choice between 2 and 3 labels on one sheet.

On the right side of the print options dialog, there is a preview. This is showing, how the printing will look like.

In the mode Normal you can move and scale the picture in the preview in order to change its position and size.

In the mode Poster you can change the position and size, too. Additionally it is possible to drag the picture over the right or bottom edge. In this case new pages will be automatically created ensuring that the whole picture is visible.

The modes Label and CD-Label are showing the outline of the labels in the preview with a green line. You can’t move the picture in these modes but you can scale it.

If the active document has more than one page, there is additional the mode Pages. Pages has several submodes:

All changes you make in this dialog are saved to disk, if you are using the PLD file format. This way you don’t have to adjust your settings over and over again on printing.

By using Extended... the function Print Markers (see chapter 7.4.86) can be called.
