Off center 4x6 photos

Is it my printer or something else? Printing 4x6 photos with an HP L7590 AIO from iPhoto and the right margin or the top margin is but a sliver depending on whether it's horizontal or vertical. Contacted Hp support and their suggestion was to use HP Photosmart Studio for printing. The margins are more equal with that option but it's a bit more time consuming than printing directly from iPhoto. There must be a setting somewhere for the margins. I thought that maybe by constraining the image to 4x6 would be the answer but the photos still come out off center. Even when printing borderless there is a narrow white margin on one side even with 5x7s. Haven't tried printing a 5x7 without checking borderless so I don't know what the results would be.
I would like to begin with solving the non-centered 4x6 photo printing first.

Thank you LN for your suggestions.
I deleted the .plist file, reset the personal preferences and printed a horizontal 4x6 photo that was previously constrained to 4x6 in iPhoto.
Unfortunately, the top margin on the horizontal print is about 1/16" and the bottom one is 3/16".
The left margin is almost 5/16" and the right side is closer to 1/2".
The paper is 4x6 hp advanced glossy Q7906A and the measurements above are after removing the tear off tab.
The iPhoto library has never been moved from its original location.

  • Can't center 4x6 photos

    I have tried what seems like everything, but still can't get a 4x6 photo to print properly in PSE9 with HP Photosmart 7510 printer.  Have installed latest drivers, tried border and borderless, tried 4x6 and 4x6 tab paper selections.  Three sides have a normal border, but 1 side has a larger border.  I have no problem when printing 5x7 photos.  Borders are perfect.

    I cannot print photos. I have 4x6 Kodak Ultra Premium paper. I have a new HP Photosmart C5280 printer with a photo tray. The tray seems only accessible from a camera memory card and my photos are on my computer. In Adobe or the HP Photo programs the same menu comes up and I have gone through all the choices. None will print. Error message keeps repeating "wrong paper size."

  • Camera photos look off-center but aren't really

    Does anyone have this problem? You take a pic with the iPhone camera and every one looks off-center? I tried taking a few today for the first time and they were all a little to the left. So I trashed them then tried again and same thing. Then I turned the iPhone landscape and voila the pic was centerd correctly. I turned the iPhone back straight up and again it stayed centered.
    But if I go back to the home screen, choose Photos, and select the same one, it's off-center again, until I turn it landscape and back, and then it's fine again.
    I post this to find out if this is happening to others or whether it's just a glitch in my iPhone. It's worth mentioning I figure since it may cause you to mistakenly think you took a bad picture and then trash it.

    Yes, I have this problem and searched forum and found your message. Thank you for the solution of rotating to landscape. It was driving me nuts. I don't know what is causing this behavior but am very surprised you have not received a response. This seems a very noticeable problem, but not so bad now that I have found out from you the image is actually ok. thanks, ralph

  • How to change a 4x6 photo to a 8x10 photo in elements 11

    how do you change a 4x6 photo to a 5x10 photo in elements 11

    You can't without severe distortion, since the aspect ratios of these dimensions (4x6 & 8x10) are at variance.
    Depending on the picture, you may be able to crop the 4x6 to 4x5 without losing important information, utilizing the crop tool.
    If this works for you, then go to Image>Resize>Image size, and enter w=10, h=8, check constrain proportions and resample image.
    Depending on the resolution of the image, you may see pixellation with this degree of magnification. For printing, it is desirable to have the resolution in the 240-300px/in range; for web work 72px/in is ok.
    An alternative is to open a new, blank file with dimensions 8x10 and with the same resolution value as that of the 4x6 picture file, then copy/paste the 4x6 on the blank file. It will not be a symmetrical fit, but you can position it with the move tool off center and perhaps add something else (?text) to minimize the distraction.

  • Printing 4x6 photos on HP Laserjet 4630. photo paper tray not working?

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos on glossy paper.  My printer has a photo paper tray in addition to a standard letter tray.  When I specify 4x6 borderless glossy paper in the print parameters, the printer keeps pulling from the standard paper tray instead of the photo tray on top of the printer.  This has worked for me in the past, but I haven't used it in a long time.  What must I be doing wrong?

    Hey. I'm a photographer with the C4280.
    This printer takes care of 8.5 x 11's pretty much perfectly. But 4 x 6 not for me on iPhoto or Photoshop.
    So what I did was I set up a pages document with a blank template, set at 4 x 6 inches.
    I dragged rulers about .25inches in and threw in the photo set at 4 x 6 ratio. So... most photos are 4 x 6, just resize it to fit in the rulers.
    I've noticed in most occasions it cuts off the top of the photo document when laid out in portrait.
    What I do is a hit command p, select the printer but choose under the drop box that says "layout" i hit borderless printing, and a selectable box will show up saying "print borderless" and i just clicked it.
    on the document though you might want to make the opacity 10% to save ink. you have to trouble shoot the exact place to set and drag up or down the photo. but once you get it, its reliable the duration the document is open and the printer is on.
    i know its kind of pointless for one, but i had a shoot with live printing on the spot with this printer and its great. you can add texts boxes and put those perfectly where you want (once you set the picture so its set) and throw in another picture and really customize the 4 x 6.
    i printed a postcard with the writing already in it. just had to mail it no writing involved.
    you also need iwork 08 or 09. i have 08 but im sure 09 works. so if you save the pages doc as a template you can just drag in the image file into where the old image is and print that way.
    command p, choose borderless printing in the drop box and click print borderless. it should work.
    email me for a copy of my pages document. [email protected]
    i promise though, with canon or epson 4 x 6 print paper, its pretty amazing. almost comparable to my prints from my printer.
    or you can fit 12 3.5 x 2inch (business card sized) pics on an 8.5 x 11.

  • Lightroom printing is off center

    Hello all,  I just replaced my home computer after it got fried from an electrical surge.  While I was at it, I moved from a PC with XP to a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard.  I had to transfer my Adobe License for Photoshop too and moved to CS5.  The move has been great so far,  but when I print out of Lightroom 2.7 with my Epson 3800 my prints are either off center or off the page.  Printing with my previous PC setup was perfect and now I am totally baffled.  I am in a bit of a time crunch too,  as I need to get a photo shoot printed and delivered to a client.  I even thought about dowloading the Lightroom 3 Beta to see if this would give me a temporary solution.  Any one have any ideas?  I have been searching the web for a few days looking  for a solution and my tech person is baffled too.
    Many Thanks,
    J. Paul

    Make sure to visit the Page Setup dialog and select your printer model (3800) from the "Format For" popup menu, and the page size from the "Paper Size" popup menu:

  • Photosmart 8750 4x6 photo printing skewed

    I am using a Photosmart 8750 on a home network with 4 computers, one with XP-Pro SP3, one with XP-Home SP3, one with Win98-SE, and I've just done a clean install on the 4th machine of Vista-Ultimate 64-bit SP-1. The three older machines can print a 4x6 photo on 4x6 paper flawlessly, with or without borders. The new Vista machine prints with no border at the top and 1/2-inch border down the right side. The bottom and left borders look to be about 1/8-inch. If I switch to "borderless 4x6" The same thing happens--a 1/2-inch border on the right, the top of the photo is cut off, and a small border on the left and bottom. The application I'm using on the Vista machine is the Windows Photo Gallery, but I have the same problem if I print from Photoshop elements.
    This can't be caused by the media or the printer since three machines can print perfectly using the same photo file on the same printer. I have tried every setting in Printer Preferences to no avail. I noticed someone else with a different model printer had the same problem but didn't say what OS was running. Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a reliable fix?
    Letters on 8.5x11 in Word or Excel print perfectly.

    Still having the same issues (messed up 4x6 printing and bottom line cut off of text) and add another one. Today I attempted to print an 8x10 photo from Photoshop Elements v6.0 and got the message "program has stopped responding." After several attempts I decided to try printing from Windows "Photo Gallery" but nothing happens. The printer makes a noise as if it is about to print but then nothing happens.
    I can print over my network to my older Laser Jet printer and I can go to another computer running XP-Pro with SP3 and print beautifully on the Photosmart 8750, but from 64-bit Vista, nothing happens when attempting to print an 8x10 on 8.5x11 photo paper. I've tried loading drivers for a different model printer but that was unsuccessful. Anyone have a solution to these problems?

  • FaceTime camera appears off-center

    I noticed today that on my iPhone 6 the FaceTime camera on the front appears way off-center. I've attached a photo, but it's a little hard to see. It doesn't seem to interfere with the camera, but I don't really know that without a comparison and I haven't seen any other iPhone 6 in person to compare how it looks. Should I
    take this in to have looked at?

    Here's a clearer photo. The lens does not appear to match up with the cut out or something beneath the glass seems to have slid over. I guess I can always just pop into an Apple store and ask them about it, but I was wondering if anyone else's looked like this.

  • I have an I pad, hooked to a wireless printer , I need to print my bank statements. I know you have to snapshot it first, but it is printing on 4x6 photo paper is all. I need it to print on regular 8x10 paper so it will print the whole page and

    How can I print off my I pad for bank statements on reg paper not 4x6 photo paper?

    How nice of you to wait three whole minutes for an answer.
    I don't know what you mean by "I have to snapshot it first". Can you explain what you mean? If you're making a screenshot and printing from your photo application, you're going about things in a very odd way. You should be using the Share - Print icon from whatever app (Safari?) your bank statement is in.

  • HT4505 can you scan 4x6 photos using Image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo. I have to crop the photo once it is scanned

    Can you scan multiple 4x6 photos using image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo? I seem to have to crop each photo once it is scanned.

    How long is a string?
    The answer depends on a large number of variables
    Cropping removes the area cropped off so the pixel size of a cropped photos is smaller than an upcropped one
    With iPhoto you can always revert ot the original so if the new quality is not enough for your use you can go back to the uncropped original
    size - many meanings
    DPI - simple - Dots Per Inch - the number of dots (pixels) in a dimension divided by the number of inches of the display(print) - very simple math
    Pixels and dots are the same for this discussion
    so if a photo is shot in a 3:2 ratio (6x4 is also a 3:2 ratio) then the photo is the shape of a 4x6 photo with no cropping - is a photo shot in a 4:3 ratio is cropped to a 4:6 ratio (which is also a 3:2 ratio) then some information is going to be removed - assuming that you set the cropping frame as large as possible in one direction and only crop two sides then you lose the minimum amount of information
    Most iPhoto uses of photos are designed aroung 4:3 photos so in general I would only recommend cropping 4:3 photos if you want to print them in standard print sizes
    iPhoto slide shows will work best with 4:3 photos so cropping to 4:6 would be a mistake

  • PSD CS4 - Cursor is off center, help!

    When I am using any tool (Smudge, Brush, Pen, etc.) in PSD CS4 (Mac 10.5.8) my tool is off center.
    Here is an example: I have a blank white page and a brush tool (200 pixels, 100% hardness) with the color black assigned to it and I click in the center of the page to create a round dot. The dot is not on the spot where I clicked, instead it shows up below the point where I clicked, about 10 pixels off center. It's always 10 pixels off center no matter how big the brush.
    It's impossible to work this way. I am at a total loss as to how to fix this problem. I've Googled and searched the Adobe Forums and can't find a solution.
    Photo of my problem is attached.
    Thank you from desperate, aka Dimitry

  • My ipad 2 camera is off center is every ipad 2 like that?

    My front facing camera is terribly off center. My face isn't big at all and is on the small side even, but if I hold the ipad in landscape mode in a comfortable position half of my face gets cutoff. I have to stretch my arms all the way to get all of my face in and it's centered on the right-hand side of the screen. Are all ipads like this or can I trade it in for a more centered camera?

    I'm not near an Apple Store, so I called Applecare and told them about it.(had to call back b/c of a system being down). They said they will ship me a new one this week. I know it has to be a design flaw because, my other ipad 2 does NOT have this problem at all! I have the photos to prove it to them, and offered to send them to them, but the declined.
    Later this afternoon after I posted here, I went to BestBuy and played around with the ipad 2 that was on display. And guess what? the front facing camera was fine. I also hit PC Richards and tested their display model, and again, no problem with front facing camera! 
    I just hope the one they send me works like my other one. For the money we pay for these things, they should work correctly. Having to angle your arm all the way to the right would only serve as a recipe for disaster, that when taking a photo, it only would serve to make it easier to drop the ipad altogether.
    Thanks for your reply. Maybe you should contact apple again and make them aware of it. Tell them you know people who have ipads that do NOT have the problem. They have to replace it!
    Being that you're covered, they will send one out to you (so you can use the one you have until you get the replacement). Then, you just have to put the one you have in the box and peel off the label, and have Fedex pick it up and send it back to them. But make sure your replacement works before you do . The first thing I'm going to do is test the replacement camera immediately.
    Good luck and give it a shot. Spending $good money on these things, they should work!

    4x6 Photos printing off center

    Hello Matteo321,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the photos not being centered.
    Please remove the rear access panel of the printer and make sure that the little wheels on the panel spin freely and that we do not have any little bits of paper caught in the rollers.
    When reconnecting the rear access panel, please make sure that both sides click into place.  If one side is not closed, the prints will go through the printer crooked.
    Also, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Write me back at any time if you have any other questions or concerns.

  • L7680 Won't print 4x6 photo-Erro​r Code B842F086

    Prints letter size OK. Test page and alignment pages good.  When I try to print 4x6 photos, printer locks up and I get an immediate error message “Turn power off then on again”, then error code B842F086.  Later, the message “….Improper shut down”

    Yes, it has always printed 4x6 just fine. I am talking about 'borderless'  4x6.  Just as an experiment, I tried 4x6 with border and one other 4x6 format (don't remember), no joy.  They I retried 4x6 bordrless and it worked fine.  Printed several sets of photos. 
    Go figure???

  • Isight seems off center

    Hey, I recently purchased a macbook, and Ive noticed that the isight camera built into it seems slightly off center to the left (the lens inside of the "square". I don't know if this is a huge issue, but I am wondering if this is normal or could possible affect the computer, as I've heard that in some cases the camera can interfere with the microphone.
    Thanks!

    You can easily test whether your microphone is being effected by recording a few seconds of video while you talk in a normal voice. (This test will also let you verify that your iSight is working.)
    Either iMovie or Photo Booth can be used to perform this test. If one does not work correctly, be sure to try again using the other app.
    If the sound plays back with decent quality in either app, your mic is working fine.
    If playback sound is poor or non-existent, take your MacBook back to your retailer ASAP for repair or replacement while your MacBook is still under warranty.
