print an image according to percentage scale

Question

Hello, i am working in Photoshop elements 2024, using the "advanced" tab/mode. I'm trying to print out an image at 77%.  There is no scale option in the Print Dialogue box. How do i do this? Surely there must be an easy way? thank you

You have ro resize prior to sending it to the printer.

Go to Image>resize>image size and you will see % scale in the drop-down. This process is contingent on resampling. Be sure that "constrain proportions" is checked.

The alternative is to crop the picture to desired specs.

It sounds like the print dialog may be forcing the output to the selected paper/photo size, which is why the image still prints as 8x10 even after resizing.

I would resize the image first under Image > Resize > Image Size, make sure Constrain Proportions is enabled, and use the percentage option there. Then in the print settings, check that options like Scale to Fit Media, Fit to Page, or any fixed 8x10 print size are turned off. Otherwise the printer dialog can override the resized dimensions and stretch it back to the selected print size.

Canvas size changes the working area around the image, while image size changes the actual image dimensions.
