Sending, printing, and presenting in Sketchbook Pro for desktop

Once you've created an image, you might want to send it to a client, print it for sale, or present it in a meeting. Here are instructions to help you do that:

Emailing a sketch

Not available in the Mac version.

Email a sketch to someone by selecting File > Send Mail, a file format, then Send Mail.

If you want to know the size of the image, use Calculate File Sizes.

Send Email dialogue

Troubleshooting

If you get a message that you cannot email the image, check that:

Your your email program is open. Some email programs (for example, Microsoft Outlook) must be open before using this feature.
You have selected a default email application and you can launch your default email program from outside of Sketchbook Pro. Try the following:
- From the Windows Start menu, choose Run.
- Type the “mailto:” command.
- Click OK.

If a new empty message window does not appear, then there is a problem with the configuration of your email application and/or account.

Printing images

Make printouts of your sketches by selecting File > Print. See Setting the maximum canvas size for printing‍ for information on setting canvas size and dpi for print.

Presenting images: flipping through your sketches

You can navigate the files in a folder from the Lagoon. Using this process, Sketchbook Pro will open any image files in the folder, not only TIFF and PSD files.

To open the next image file in the current folder, tap , then flick toward . Files will be displayed in increasing order by file name.

For example, HOUSE1, HOUSE2, HOUSE3.

To move to the previous image file in the current folder, tap , then flick toward . Files are displayed in decreasing order by file name.

For example, HOUSE3, HOUSE2, HOUSE1.

NOTE: If you mark up the files, a prompt to save your changes when you go to the previous or next image appears. To preserve the original image, save the marked-up image under a different file name.

Changing the behavior of Page Up and Page Down

Some machines use the Page Up and Page Down keys differently for browsing to previous or next files. Tap the General tab, in the Page Up section, tap one of the following setting to set up the program behavior that works best for your system.
