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.

Photos are cropped after being shared from Photos App

So, I wanted to share Photos from my Photos App using iCloud shared albums. I have iCloud Photo Library enabled.
All the photos I want to share are perfectly uploaded to iCloud, as I checked them on my iPhone.
But when I created the shared album, some of the photos are cropped! The lower part is just plain white.
Some of them are missing 30%, others are missing 90%. Some are even all white. This is the case for every device I access the shared album from.
But the originals are still complete and not cropped (When I access them via "Moments" for example). That is on every device!
No matter where I access
I noticed, that when I shared the photos, the Hard drive of my iMac began to show heavy activity.
I imagine there should be no HD activity, since all my photos are in the cloud already. So when I want to share photos from my iCloud photo library, all the Photos App has to do is send the list of those photos I want to share to the iCloud servers. Not the entire (or corpped) photo.
Anyone else experiencing this?

HT201317 So if photos are deleted after 30 day from icloud

If photos are deleted after 30 days from icloud, why doesn't my available storage increase if I have had "backup device" turned off for more than 30 days.

That refers to photo stream photos, which don't count against your iCloud storage. They also aren't contained in the iCloud backup; only camera roll photos are, which are not deleted after 30 days. They stay on your device until you delete them.

I don't know where my photos are going after I take a picture

I don't know where my photos are going after I take a picture

Most likely they are not going anywhere. What is the reason behind such a generic question?
Do you suspect they are being uploaded somewhere?
Do they not show in the Camera Roll after being taken?

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 are not being printed as expected (from Mac OS)

I have a Canon PIXMA MX410, running Mac OS 10.6.
So far, regular printing has been fine, but I recently started printing photos onto 4x6 photo paper, and I'm having trouble. The two programs I'm using are Gimp (GNU image software) and Preview. Gimp is cropping the photo. As in, the outer ~5% of the photo is missing from the page after printing. This ninja-cropping is not seen in the print preview. I tried instead using Preview to print, and it prints the entire photo, but the colors are off. This is true whether or not I use ColorSync, or the Canon color profile.
Now, the reason I'm asking here, is because I borrowed a friends printer (an Epson XP-400) and it prints perfectly from both Gimp and from Preview. So I can only conclude that the issue is either the Canon printer, OR the print driver.
I am happy priting from either of these programs, but I need to solve one of these problems.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello dbe.
Please check to see if a borderless paper size has been selected before printing.
If borderless printing is enabled, you may experience a cut off on the outside areas of the image. This is the only way that an edge to edge bleed can be done.
To retain the entire image, the bordered option would have to be used for printing.

Vertical Photos are cropped

I am trying to prepare my first digital presentation using Keynote and I have sized the photos to 1000 pixels on the long side. When reviewing my slides, the horizontal images look great, but the vertical are cropped at the top and bottom (almost a square) How do I fit the verticals into the presentation?
Thanks in advance!
J. Paul

Hi J-Paul,
click on the image and see if it is masked, even if you did not apply the mask yourself if it is a place holder it is a mask of sorts. When clicking on the image if the image is masked a little semi-transparent menu appears on or near the image that controls the size of the image you can also move the photo around in the mask.
I hope that is it because there is no other vertical control as you describe in the other application.
You may also try to add a slide with a vertical photo already planned in and move your picture there, arrange it the way you want and see if it works. A cut and past would quickly solve the problem.

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.

My new iPad photos are blurry after import

After I import new photos into my new iPad 3, all the photos are low res, blurry, and somewhat pixelated. All the images are coming from iPhoto and a very very high resolution JPEGs. Is there a setting off somewhere? Thank you!

Two options - Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!
If this does not sort it deselect the photos and do a sync, then reselect them and do another sync!

Photos are blurry after editing

Some of my pics are blurry after I edit them in Lr. I need advice, please:(

We'd probably need to see a screen capture of the blurry photo in order to advise further.
Were the photos blurry before you did the Lightroom edit?

Events mixed up and deleted photos are back after database rebuild

Hello
My father has got an iPhoto library with rougly 6200 pictures in it. One day I decided, as the old iMac he uses grew more sluggish, to rebuild the database, in an attempt to get a performance boost out of it.
So I opened iPhoto holding the cmd and the alt keys on the keyboard. There I got four options out of which at first I chose "repair database" and after that I restarted iPhoto and selected "rebuild database".
After that my father got shocked and I myself, too, since I couldn't explain him what happened:
It seems as if every picture from over 1000 photos that he put into the trash (AND we emptied the trash!) are back and strewn randomly across dozens of events. Thus if he had like six pictures of the same motiv out of which he picked one to keep, in that case all six are back!
Furthermore many many pictures are at complete wrong events now. Some pictures from one event are now at some completely unrelated other ones.
Thus the whole library is mixed up.
My father also fears that some pictures might be missing, but this is one of the only things I'm confident about, that there should be at least all pictures somewhere.
Now what did I do?
1. I fired up Time Machine and restored from a three days old backup. What happened now is: NOTHING. There were two new pictures which he added in that three days thus these two picutres were gone. But the whole problem was still there. Unchanged. How? It was a bloody restore.
2. I restored from an older backup. Same.
3. I repaired the database. No change.
4. I rebuild the database. No change.
I can't tell my father to sit down and reorder 6000 pictures by hand, which he has done for several years, all over again. What are my options? What can I do? Please help!
Thank you

Are you saying that the photos are appearing in the wrong albums, or that the photos are in their correct albums but are displayed in the different order within them ? If they are in the wrong albums then try deleting the photo cache from your computer and re-try the sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the photos are displayed in the wrong order in the albums, then they will be displayed by capture date order unless you are syncing via iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac. To get them in a different order you will need to manipulate their capture dates : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221

Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
Please help.

They are scaled down.

Photos are blurry after import

I just downloaded Aperture. All photos have been imported from iPhoto and looked fine. I closed Aperture, re-opened and now the photos are blurry (the thumbnails are clear). I can't make photo adjustments because it says offline. What am I doing wrong here? Why did it work prior to closing and re-opening the program?

How did you import from iPhoto?
The correct way would be as outlined here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=4%26section=10
Also check to see what your Preview size and quality are set to in Aperture Preferences (using Quality '8' and the resolution of your monitor - marked with an asterisk - should work well).

IF you don't have a backup of your phone either thru icloud or iTunes, where do you expect to restore your pictures from?
No backup no recovery your pics are gone.

Photos Are Cropped

I am attempting to print very old photos which I scanned. When I attempt to print the photo, Iphoto is cropping the photo regardless of the paper size or photo size selected. A few of the photos were taken in the late 1800s and contain interesting information at the bottom of the photo which I don't want to lose. But iphoto crops the photo and I lose the information. In other cases where the photo is rectangular iphoto is deleting portions and I am losing "individuals". I'm not computer savey so I would really appreciate assistance with this issue. Did I not scan the photo properly or is this an iphoto printing issue. Thank you.

Although right-clicking on a photo when customizing does let you fit to frame, you'd have to do it to each photo individually. My solution is to create a custom print size to better fit the 4:3 ratio that point and shoot cameras use. In your case you'd have to see what ratio fits your pictures.
Here are the steps:
- Select the photos to print
- Select Print from the File menu
- Next to Print Size select Custom
- In the Custom Print Size dialog box enter 5.33 for the width and 4 for the height (in case you're printing to 4x6 sheets).
This will automatically add the white space to each photo so it prints completely.
