FREE Photoshop plugin for making prints!

[@bkc1965]

Very informative video as usual. Just a quick correction/clarification: In the sharpen portion of the plugin, the Small, Medium, Large buttons are for sharpening optimized for small prints (up to 12 inches/30 cm), medium prints (prints up to 24 inches/60 cm), and large prints (prints up to 45 inches/114 cm). Tip: if you hold down the alt key on Windows (option on Mac) and mouse over a button in the plugin, a description of the function of that button will pop up. Thanks again for sharing this video!

Wow this is awesome

Todd...Thanks for putting this tutorial together...Looking forward to utilizing the TK Print Panel...Two thumbs up!

[@jimrookphotos]

Appreciated your review on this plugin. I have downloaded it but have held off experimenting with it until I have some more time. I'll be bring this video back up as well as the instructional video from Sean Bagshaw and review them again for tips once I'm back in the office. As always, thanks for your thorough and helpful videos.

Thank you, very informative, I will definitely be adding this to my print workflow.

[@paulmoore721]

Thanks! Why would I use this over the Print Module in Adobe Lightoom?

[@PaulTimlett]

Really informative, thank you. I was interested to hear that you use the Canon Professional Print and Layout software, as do I. If you were to use this panel how would you then use the Canon PPL software for the final print stage? Would you save the output from the panel to your hard drive then open up PPL stand alone? Or would you open Canon PPL from Photoshop (or indeed Lightroom)? I’m just not clear on the workflow once you’ve finished in the panel. Thanks.

now I wish you did have a deal with Tony, we could use your breakdown of the TK9 panel, this video guide is perfect, thanks

Great video, thanks for alerting me to this, I've installed it but I have a few questions, I also run Canon Print Studio , it would be good to see how to use this after using this TK plug-in , do you need to select the paper type again as I would have thought this would double the "impact" of however the print is prepared , also in the TK plugin how do you accomodate borders on your prints ? And select the paper size ?

[@dominey]

Yes, you definitely need to select paper type in the Canon software. The paper selection in the TK plugin simply creates an on-screen proof/preview of what the image should look like when printed. It only affects what you see on screen. You print as you normally would in Canon's Print Studio thereafter.

Terrific - thanks for introducing me to this plugin - I'm off to check all TK's offerings out (except for Luminosity Masking as I'm already a satisfied Lumenzia customer). You should really have an affiliate link here. 😉

Is this tool designed for those who print at home using an inkjet? I'm happy with my sharpening workflow for online images but need to sharpen some images for lab prints. With Nik Sharpener pro you would use the contone option. How does this tool compare to Nik for sharpening for lab prints.

[@dominey]

Yes, you can absolutely use it with Inkjet printers. That's what I use. The sharpening this plugin uses is simply Photoshops built-in Smart Sharpen filter. Nothing different, unlike Nik, Topaz, etc.

[@chromagraphphotoart]

It would have been useful to see a comparison between a print processed this way with a regular print, just using PS own tools and/orPrint Layout software (I use Epson Print Layout)

[@f.kieranfinney457]

When I let PS manage color via ICC profiles I get horrid results. Letting my Epson Surecolor manage via ColorSync works well. I’d love it if this worked.

For those who have Canon Pro printers (Pro 100/200, 10, 1,1000, etc) Canon still has their Print Studio Pro which integrates nicely with PS and makes printer directly from PS very easy (unfortunately it only work with PS, and not LR, but I've found it easy to use and it's free but only works for certain Canon printers).

[@RonnieJacksonPhotography]

Canon Print Studio Pro does work with LR. Been using it for years with LR and my Pro-100. To use Print Studio Pro with Lightroom, you can do the following: Open the image you want to print in Lightroom Select File Select Plug-in Extras Select Canon Print Studio Pro

[@BENJCOTE]

I like the idea of the plugin but I'm not jumping through all the hoops on his site to get it. Giving an email address to mail a verification link to a download I can live with but the rest NO. Free is Free no strings attached.

[@MandM_IMO]

Agree!
