4000 x2248 photo is cropped when printed

With my new 12 megapixel photo/ 4000x2248, I cannot print the whole picture on a 13" x 9" paper. There is no way to scale the photo with IPhoto contrary to the possibility we have with a simple document. Please, help because my photo is beautiful but I want all of it on the paper. Thanks.
IPhoto 11
Epson printer R1800

The reason you can't get the photo to fit the paper is that the two are different size ratios. For a 13x9 paper size you will have to use a custom size of 12" x 6.744" in order to get the entire photo to print.
If you printer supports borderless 13 x 9 prints then you can use a custom size of 13 x 7.306. You still won't get a total borderless print but will get the full image on the page.
For a 13 x 9 paper size this is what you'll get:
Since my printer doesn't support 13 x 9 borderless this is the best I can do with that size paper and image.

Photos get cropped when printed

I have some images that I am sending to my local Walmart for printing.
Walmart uses Fuji equipment.
When I get the prints back I've noticed that some of the prints have been 'cropped'. A portion of the top or bottom is missing. This is most noticeable because I have added text to the bottom of these photos and it is easy to see where the text gets cut. I've checked my images in Photoshop. The image size says exactly 4 x 6. I then upload the jpg using an ActiveX tool that gets run from the Walmart photo site. I've even checked some of my photos with the 'Print Preview' function. The preview looks fine. Just like my image on my pc. Any suggestions? I've also used Kodak's services. They provide a 'Cut and Trim' option that can be turned on or off. Turning it off provides a print that is exactly what was sent. Even if there is extra white space around the image. But everyone tells me there is no such option with Fuji.
Thanks for any help!

Randy,
1. I have had the same experience with the machine at CVS. I cropped them precisely @ 4x6" landscape at home, but their equipment went further.
2. Most recently I tried out Winkflash. They will give you 50 free prints, just pay $0.99 for postage. I did not perceive additional cropping. Try them. www.winkflash.com
3. Walter Mossberg, the WSJ computer guru, wrote a glowing report about the Kodak service. I have not tried this service.
4. Printing at home is OK for a few prints, but it tedious to do a bunch of snapshots, and also expensive when one factors in ink and paper.

Images cropped when printing

In Photoshop Elements 10, when I attempt to print 5X7 images on an 8.5X11 sheet in landscape mode, it reduces the image size to 3.5X4 and crops the image. The image appears correct in the print preview, but reduces and crops when printed. I have printed on both my Epson and my HP with the same results. If I open the image in Photoshop 7, it prints fine. Can anyone help?

Can you post a screen shot of your Print dialog from Photoshop Elements, it sounds like a setting might be off.

Photos are cropped when going to print

Photos display properly when viewing but when any sort of print routine is initiated the image is seriously cropped, usually left and right sides. Trying to set print parameters, no border, etc., images are still always cropped.

Make sure the aspect ration (length to breadth) of the photo matches the aspect ratio you've chosen for printing.
In other words, if you're printing 5 x 7 make sure that the photo is cropped to that ratio, not 4:3 like many digital cameras produce.

Photos not centered when printed

Every time I print a photo with iPhoto either the top (in Portrait mode) or the left side (in Landscape mode) is shortened. I cannot find an adjustment to correct the lack of centration. Can anybody help me with this?

Yes! ...all the obviuos things I've ruled out. These include drivers and options/settings. I even made sure to try and isolate the problem by removing the shared driver on the server and installing the latest drivers on just one computer to compare but got no differing result..all the computers sharing the driver on the server produced the same results as the islotated computer with direct access to the printer with the newest driver. So it's not the software nor the drivers that causes this problem. The problem is more noticable when printing on SRA3 (450 x 320mm) with 250gsm - 300gsm.
You are right about what the tech would say +/- 1 - 2mm tolerance. There is no problem when copying straight from hardcopy on the machine ...all tests conclude prefect registration.
I'm corrently using PCL drivers because they are better at handling graphics...I'm wondering if Postscript drivers would sort the problem out?
Other that that the only wa7y I can see to work arund this issue is to offest the spread/page in the software environment ....it's only when I want to print 2 sides ...as the tray won't print 2 sides on greater than 120gsm I use the bypass tray to print then work & turn to print the other side...if I didn't offset the page in the software/application, side 2 would be out of registration by upto 4mm.
Let me know if can think of any other way I can resolve this issue...I'm sure that the registration was pretty good previuosly ...may have been 1-1.5mm difference but now it's almost 3-4mm!

Repositioning photo in frame when printing small image to A4 paper

I'm trying to print a passport sized photograph onto a sheet of A4 photo paper, but when I resize the image, the program places it in the centre of the frame when I view it in print preview.
I would like to reposition the image, to the top left corner of the page for example, in order to save photo paper. I can't find a way to do this in iPhoto 9.5.1 or in any of the other photo apps I've downloaded form the App Store, and don't really want to shell out on Adobe Photoshop. I'm using Mavericks if that makes any difference.
Any ideas or advice would be gratefully received. Thak you in advance.

You'll need a 3rd party image editor that supports layers or you can use Pages. Open pages to a blank, letter sized page.
Drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the Pages window, resize as necessary and drag to the upper left hand corner of the page. then Print. If you have Word you can do essentially the same thing.
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
GraphicConverter - $40
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free

Auto crop when printing 8 X 10 photos

When I print 8 X 10 iPhoto automatically crops the photo. All other sizes print the photo without the crop. How do i stop this?

The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of the photo's width to its length. For an 10 x 8 it would be 1.25:1. A 6 x 4 would be 1.5:1
You can select the aspect ratio in the Crop portion of iPhoto's Edit mode to whatever print size you want:

Photo size changes when printing

This is my problem. When I view a photo in my event, I am happy with the image. When I go to print, I find that parts of my image are cut off. It looks like the image zoomed in a little. How can I print the image exactly like it is displayed in the event? Also, this doesn't seem to change when I print different sizes, parts of the original image are always missing on the print.

Crop the photo to 11 x 14 before printing. That will insure that what you see in the cropped image will end up in the printed 11 x 14 image.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can find photo tray option when printing

I bought a HP Photosmart 6521 today, part of the 652x family. I set it up via USB cable to my old Mac which is running 10.7 Leopard. The printer software automatically downloaded and the printer set up like a dream. Set-up wifi link to my Wifi network. Could print from my new toptop running OSX10.9 no problem. Problem is I can find a print option on the laptop computer that alows me to select the phototray. I looked at both Mac and HP support forums, I downloaded and installed the software for the HP Photosmart 6520 ,no problems with installation. Still can't see an option on my computer for printing from the phototray. Any ideas is this likely to be an HP issue or a Mac issue.

Photos are cropped after printed

Hello - my question is concerning sending pictures to be printed at a photo place (Wallgreens, CVS, Target etc.). I want to print 4x6 pictures, and I realize now that the aspect ratios are different from what I took the pictures in.
Therefore what is the fix for this? What is happening is the photo place automatically crops the top (and bottom?) and is cutting off the tops of heads.
So should I crop all my photos first? If so, do I crop them to 4x6 or 4x3? I'm slightly confused.
Please help - I just ordered iPhoto 6, so if there is an easier way in that program, you can let me know too.
Thank you

Must crop all pictures, or choose to print with borders.

Laserjet 4000 runs words/characters together when printing.

What causes my Laserjet 4000 to run words together and overlaps characters. The same document prints fine on a Laserjet 4100.

Thanks everyone for their input. As far as the memory shortage, I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. I can create a document in Pagemaker of only 200KB that prints fine and the convert the same document to ID and it fails to print.
I think Dov is right about the 4000 because I remember when the printer was new, there were some incompatibility issues with Pagemaker that I had to work around. The Adobe people told me back then that Pagemaker and HP postscript printers didn't get along very well.
I'll check with HP again (I've already written to them twice with no response) and see if the firmware upgrade Dov mentioned is still available, however, even though this 4000 has been very durable and a real workhorse for me, it may be time to put it out to pasture and invest in a new Postscript laserjet.
Any recommendations?
Thanks again for everyone's help.

Stop automatic cropping when printing

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to print the whole picture in iphoto without cropping. For example printing a sqaure picture on 6x4 media, iphoto crops the picture to fit the paper. I would like the whole photo even with blank areas.
Thanks

select the photo and click print, select the printer, print size (use a custom size of 4x4 if you want a 4x4 photo), paper size etc and print
Or select the photo etc and click customize and right click (control click) on the photo in the preview window and select fit to frame

Printing with different aspect ratio (or, How not to crop when print?)

Hi all,
I'm trying to print 3:2 aspect ratio pictures on 8 1/2 X 11 (US Letter page).
Obviously, it's not the same aspect ratio, so normally fitting such 3:2 image in, -say- photoshop would require me to either CROP the picture or have white BORDERS around it, on either side.
Now, printing in iPhoto will only offer croping, which is definetly not what I want. I can and will live with 2 white bars on my picture; I do own cutting table just for that. But I'm not used to iPhoto.
Quickly, in Aperture I can print as I want it, 2 white bars, whole picture fitting IN the paper (there's also a mode called 'Fill Page'; which is exactly and only what iPhoto is doing).
*The question:*
Am I missing something out on how to print while fitting the whole image on paper (also called 'Fit Entire Image' in Aperture), while adding white paper bars?
Also, I readed this thread, mostly about it:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1417869
I knew the maths part.
So what I'm doing as a long workaroung (see below for shorter workaround):
I calculate using the custom Print size (see this screenshot, from user Old Toad, which is exactly what I'm telling about: http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/iP7customprint.png ) manually, so I get as Paper Size : US Letter and as Print size: Custom with these custom settings:
Width: 11.00 in
Height: 7.30 in
It's all fine, the print was perfect. But I don't feel like messing each time with these numbers only to print one page.
Quicker solution: import into Aperture (and even there, if you are using RAW in iPhoto, the imported in Aperture is the JPEG based off the RAW ((apparently Aperture cannot understand iPhoto's way of working with RAW, but this is another topic)) ).
Thanks! Sorry, it was quite long for nothing, I'm just really missing the 'Fit entire image' on iPhoto... (that is, if it's non-existing, not if I only just didn't found it yet..)

Numbers:
Camera resolution:
roughly 3008X2000 (Nikon D50)
Paper printed on: good old fasioned 8 1/2 X 11 US Letter sized
Ratio of picture: roughly 1.5 (one size is 1.5 time the other)
Ratio of paper: around 1.29 (one size is 1.29 time the other)
The picture overflows in lenght of the paper (iPhoto take the picture's width and places it 8.5 in wide, so technically the paper size should be 12.75 to perfectly fit the ratio. But I only have 8 1/2 X 11 and I do love to cut paper.)
