how do you change from landscape to portrait when printing in Photos?


I am printing to a Epson wf-7610 and when you go to preview printing in Photos, it shows the print(and prints it) in landscape. This is literally a portrait of the person so needs to be in portrait Mode. How do you change from landscape to portrait in photos?

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Hi thanks for your reply.

I would have assumed that this would have been automatic. On the photo page in the top right-hand corner it shows the print in portrait. However when you press the print button the print preview is only in landscape and there is no way to change it portrait. Normally there is a landscape/portrait button on this page. The printer prints this in landscape and cuts the top and bottom of the picture off. I would think there must be a way to select portrait or landscape but it does not show. Maybe I have to select this in the printer software?


I am using yosemite which does has a strange characteristics.

It is strangely hidden - in the print size pane click custom and her the bottom where the current size is shown for the aspect ratio click the double arrows to reverse the numbers (3x5 changes to 5x3) and the print changes from landscape to Portrait (or the other way depending on the starting place)
