Printing in Phocus
Options for Printing
Phocus has some options for controlling print output
directly from the software. Full size images can be printed
as well as Contact Sheets.
The Contact Sheet option has the benefit of a very high
speed output.

Printing or saving a Contact Sheet as a PDF file is easily
achieved in Phocus.
1. Start by selecting the thumbnails in the thumbnail
browser that need to show on the
contact sheet. There is no need to do so if all
images are to be printed. See Fig. 1
