How to control print scaling in Photos in iPadOS 17? In the Photos app in iPadOS 17, we've noticed that portions of images are cut off when we print out to a sheet of paper on our local printer. So far we are not finding a way to change the scaling of the image, or the position of the image on a page. Is there a trick to this? Or is there another simple app that can be used to accomplish this?

Color -> Greyscale This thread began with a simple question: "How does one convert a color image to greyscale", but then devolved into a discussion of ICC stuff and vehicle ignition switches. I would like to ask the question again, with some specifics: I have a large number of digital color images that will be pasted into a Pages book manuscript and, later, printed and hard-bound. Many of the images were scanned using the standard printer-scanner settings that default to color, and others were photographs taken with color cameras. Some of these images would best be shown in the book as greyscale pictures. But when I send snippets of the manuscript to the publisher, they tell me that--even though I've used a "quartz filter" to create a picture that "looks" like greyscale on the screen and prints as a greyscale, those images have 'color components' in them and therefore the price I pay for the printing will increase. The publisher never gives me specifics about what constitutes 'color components' nor how to eliminate them. So, without telling me to undertake a technical education in color management and fancy graphics software, please tell me if there any simple way for a novice without a lot of money for fancy software to convert these color images to the old-time black and white photograph-like images?

Hello mehri19,

Thanks for reaching out to us for support. We would love to help you. While we’re unable to tell you the best way to scan art work, what we can tell you is that you can use your iOS device to scan things.

How to scan documents on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Once you’ve scanned your art work, you can use the Photos app to edit the image by applying a Mono/grayscale filter, then print it from your home printer or send the image to a 3rd party to have it printed.
