Adobe Photoshop/Printing document info

Question
I'm wondering if there is an option inside Photoshop CS3 for automatically
printing out a document's size, DPI, and color space, similar to how you can
print out registration, crop marks and file name? If not, do you know of any
plug-ins that would help? This option would come in hand when proofing a
printed document without having to open the file to check the size and color
space.

Answer
Hi Ken,

I don't know of a way to do this in Photoshop, but if you drop a folder of images on Bridge you can set it to show metadata. In the Bridge preferences set it to show color mode, dimensions and dimensions (inches) and this will quickly give you the information you need.

Hope this helps,
