Adjusting border size when printing

I'm trying to print photos. Last time I did this, I could adjust the size of the image within the given paper size (4x6) with a simple slider control. This made the white border around the picture bigger or smaller accordingly. I'm not finding the slider this time. Has something changed, or have I forgotten how to do that?

You must have been using iPhoto 6 the last time as that's not available any more. There are themes now with different border options but no continuously adjustable border width.
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 or later), 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Trouble with Border Size when Printing

I am having a great deal of difficulty with border size using PSE 9 and an Epson R800. I have the latest driver for Windows 7, and still all of my photos come out with a .25" border (or greater if border is checked in the Adobe settings as well) when "borderless" is left unchecked. I have tried all possible permutations of borderless with an added border, changing print size to trick the program, but cannot get the 3mm (.125") border I am accustomed to. Can anyone figure out what I am doing wrong? Is a quarter of an inch on a 4x6 print the standard border?
Thanks in advance
Gregg

Print size does not default to form size when printing PDF form.

So, we have created an interactive new client form for our firm. The form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 and is set to legal size (8.5 x 14). After the form was completed and exported, it was filled out for testing and printed. During the printing process it was noticed that in the print dialog box, the dimentions for the form were wrong. It showed that the default document size was 8.5 x 11. Where and how is this changed in LC?
A new form was created (starting from scratch) with the document settings set to legal again, and inside of LC in the PDF preview panel, I tried to print and the same thing occured.
Please advise as how to set the document to its default size when printing without have to do it in the print dialog box.

The print dialog doesn't display the forms dimensions but those of the currently selected paper format of your printer.
If you change the page format in the printer driver the diemensions in the preview will change too.

CS5 & Manage Custom Sizes when printing.

Every time I try to “manage custom sizes” when printing, Photoshop “quits unexpectedly.” I am using Photoshop CS5, and Epson 7800, and Mac Yosemite. I’ve done all the updates, and reinstalled the driver. Any ideas on troubleshooting?

I am having the exact same problem with an Epson 3880. I chatted with Epson support earlier today and they suggested that I uninstall the drivers and support software and reinstall. I followed their instructions and the result was the same. I did save my image file to a TIFF format and then opened it under Preview and when I used file->print and selected "manage custom sizes" it brought up the custom size menu as expected. I also attempted this using Photoshop Elements 11 and the "manage custom sizes" menu appeared only in this case when I selected "Cancel" Elements crashed too.
It is not clear to me how to proceed with kglad's recommendation to "shutdown running processes in a logical manner". I don't know what a logical manner might be.
Anyway, I have just done a complete uninstall of Photoshop CS5 and I'm about to reinstall it from the distribution DVD. I think I'll test the "manage custom sizes" before I install the updates this time.
I'd sure appreciate it if you come up with anything, that you would post it here. Thanks
So, I uninstalled Photoshop 5, restarted my iMac, and reinstalled Photoshop CS5. When I attempted to Manage Custom Sizes, Photoshop CS5 blew up.
I find that I can add custom sizes and manage them from Preview and then use them in Photoshop. So, I guess that will have to suffice until someone comes up with a fix. Given that Photoshop CS5 is no longer supported that will probably be never.
Post here if something better comes along.

Change paper size when printing

How to change paper size when printing pdf? No option for paper size appear.

That is a feature of AirPrint. If you do a Google search on "AirPrint paper size" you'll find documentation from major printer manufacturers. For example, this is copied from some HP documentation:
What paper and media sizes are supported?
With AirPrint, paper and photo media sizes are automatically selected depending on the application you are using on your Apple device, your HP ePrint printer, and the region in which you are using AirPrint. You do not have the option to select different paper sizes.
For example, from Apple’s Photo application, if the HP ePrint printer has a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses 4 x 6 inch photo media as the default paper size. If the printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses letter-size paper. If you are printing from Apple’s Safaribrowser, letter-size paper is the default paper size in the US region, and A4 is the default paper size in Europe.
AirPrint supports the following paper and media sizes:
Letter
Legal
A4
4 x 6 in photo paper
A6 photo paper

When printing articles from the Internet the print is too small and I cannot adjust the size. How do I work around this?? I don't want to have to Cut & Paste to Word all the time.

Text Size When Printing Comments Different Than On-Screen

Hello. We are supporting an end-user with an unusual problem. They are able to make sticky comments fine and adjust the font size on screen. However, when this user goes to print either to a physical printer or a PDF, the font size of the comment is different (smaller) than what is shown on screen.
On-Screen Example:
Print To PDF Example:
Is there an option to match the text size of the printed version to that of the on-screen? Even if the printed text size can be bumped up just a bit, it'd be greatly appreciated. The font size when commenting on-screen is 18 Arial but it seems like the printed version is more like 10 Ariel.
Thank you.

Just tried the latest version of Adobe Reader and the same issue occurs. Making the on-screen font size 70 in the Commenting Preferences field makes NO CHANGE when printed (comes out at about 10 / 12 point font). Even the Print Preview doesn't show the larger font so there's some setting getting lost when you go to print.
Talking to our client, this problem likely coincides with Adobe updates that were pushed out. This is easily reproducible (anyone with an up-to-date version of Adobe Reader can do this) but doesn't seem to be a fix.
Any help out there?

Lightroom 2.5 Image Size When Printing

I have searched and tried several approaches, but cannot get LR to adjust an image size correctly when printing.
For example, I have a Lab Test Page tif image that has a document size of 23" W x 29" H and a resolution of 180 ppi.
I can use CSR 4 Image/Image Size to change this to 8" W x 10.5" H and a resolution of 320 ppi using resampling. The reduced image prints correctly in CSR 4 on 8.5" x 11" paper and results in .25" margins top and bottom. The same thing happens in LR 2.5 with the size reduced image.
However, if I try to print the original image using LR 2.5 to automatically resize the image it does not work correctly. I have tried all sorts of combinations of settings to get it to reduce the image (as is done in CSR 4) and print with .25" top/bottom margins without success. The image fails to resize correctly.
Is this a bug, a feature??, or operator error? Can anyone tell how to make LR 2.5 automatically resize so it prints correctly? I have tested this on other computers with the same results.
Thanks

Go to print module.
Select Print to jpg.
Set the resolution at 180 ppi.
Other output settings, sharpening, paper profile as required.
Set the margin sizes as required.
Set the cell size to the size of the image
Set the Custom File Dimensions to the size of the paper...29" x 23" in this case.
You can drag the Cell size and the various borders around until you get exactly the lay out on paper you require. Then when finished hit print to file, name the file and the job is done.
If you want to print a a different size, with a different resolution, on different sized paper, with different borders all this can be done in the print module and it is WYSIWYG so no guess work (or calculations) involved. Using LR rather than PS for this also has the advantage of using much better algorithms for upsizing images than PS and applying output sharpening for the specific media type you intend to print to, all using the RAW data

Photos convert to thumbnail size when printing

I am trying to print on an EPSON R300. When printing from iPhoto I select the size/layout that I want, but when I go to preview and/or print it doesn't not fill the page. Everything is getting downsized to "thumbnail" size. I've tried everything I can think of, including reinstalling the printing drivers, nothing is working. HELP!!!!

2Xclone:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just to be sure we're on the same page here's the workflow I use to get a borderless 4x6:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
<li crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto's edit window.</li>
in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and paper size, i.e. 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
click on the Print button.
Is that how you're going about it?
Do you Twango?

X6 Adjusting image size when using a picture as ph...

Hi All,
I set a photo as my background on my X6, but the image re-sizes itself so its bigger in the home screen and not all of the image appears on the screen, alot is cut off.
I cant quite figure out how to adjust the image so that it stays the same size when its used as my back ground, or how to re-adjust the image back! Its annoying because it means my pictures are limited as to what can be on my background, im having to chose really far away shots becaus they appear close up when used as a background!
Help for the thicko much appreicated!!

Transfer picture to computer and assuming you have windows, right click on it and select edit, when the screen opens in 'paint' select the re-size option , top left hand corner second section from the left when edit menu opens click the pixel option and type in the ratio of your phone screen (360x640), then close and save as jpeg, should then do exactly what you want
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

Font size when printing from Safari to HP Photosmart 6520 printer

I just bought a Macbook Pro 13 inch, running OSX 10.9.5. When I try to print something from within a Safari web page to my HP PhotoSmart 6520 printer, the font is huge. Does anyone know how to adjust the font size for use with Safari. The font size seems to be ok when I print from Pages, for example. So I m thinking the issue may be limited to printing from Safari.

No one has replied yet and HP has never played well with Apple, so the best I can do right now is to point out a site that has proven very helpful to many users wanting or needing to read up on color management and printing:

I am unable to select the correct paper size when printing photo's in iPhoto 11. When I select the paper size in the custom window for 4x6 prints the prints only appear on an 8 1/2x11 page. My Mac is a year old iMac running 10.8.2.

I am unable to print 4x6 photo's using iPhoto 11. When I do they only print out on lettter size paper even though I enter 4x6 in the custom window in the print size menu. My older Snow Leopard system using iPhoto 9 the paper size window offered a 4x6 paper size which worked well.

Selecting paper size in the first sreen tellis iPhoto what papery you are going to use - it does not tell the printer what paper to use - printer specific options on on the last (second or third if you customize the print) screen where you tell the print any specifics like paper source (typically printers need to you tell them where a specific paper is loaded - they do not really know the sizes in each paper tray)

Why is Acrobat 9.4.4 multiplying file size when printing?

When I print pdfs using Acrobat 9.4.4, the documents increase in size exponentially and take a long time to print. For example, a one page, 20kb file shows up in the printer queue as >1MB. The bigger files turn huge and stall the printer.
I have the problem printing to an HP LaserJet 5P and with the HP OfficeJet 4315. I am printing from a Dell Dimension 4300 running XP and plenty of RAM.
I have gone through all of Adobe's help topics. I've tried printing the file as an image. I still have the problem.
thanks,
Ken

How to set the paper size when printing to postscript...

I need help in setting the paper size in the PrintPreference when using either the Postcript File or Adobe PDF printer to generate ps files.
Here's what I am doing (in c++) and I seem to be getting only 8.5x11 no matter the document page size:
LPDISPATCH p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
p_Dispatch = Document.DocumentPreferences();
if(p_Dispatch)
DocPreference docPreference(p_Dispatch);
pgOrientation = (idPrintPageOrientation)docPreference.get_PageOrientation();
pageW = docPreference.get_PageWidth();
pageH = docPreference.get_PageHeight();
paperSize = docPreference.get_PageSize();
docPreference.ReleaseDispatch();
p_Dispatch = Document.PrintPreferences();
if (p_Dispatch)
{ PrintPreference printPreference(p_Dispatch)printPreference.SetPrinter(idPostscriptFile);
printPreference.PrintFile(outfile);
printPreference.SetPaperSize(paperSize ); /*I have also tried idCustom but it crashes with invalid parameter for the object type.*/
printPreference.SetPaperWidth(pageW);
printPreference.SetPaperHeight(pageH);
VARIANT vprinterPresetType;
vprinterPresetType.vt = VT_I4;
vprinterPresetType.lVal = CInDesignApplication::idCustom;
Document.PrintOut(FALSE, vprinterPresetType);....
So how do i pas the document paper size to the print preset or preference?
I appreciate your input.
