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!!!!

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?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

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

Thumbnail Size when Browsing in PS

I am a brand new Mac user and have just converted over my Photoshop from Windows to Mac. I am trying to increase the thumbnail size when I am browsing my images to open directly from Photoshop without going through Bridge first. I have increase the size of the thumbnails using the Apple preferences but this does not seem to effect the thumbnails when viewing files directly from Photoshop. Can someone tell me if I can do this and how?

In column view I only get one thumbnail at a time and only after I click on the image name. This defeats the purpose of the thumbnails for me as I want to see the thumbnails in order to select the image and not view the thumbnails after I select the image. The problem with the matrix view thumbnails is they are too small to make that selection with as I can't see any differences if the images are similar at all. What I'm hoping for is that the thumbnails can be made larger in the matrix view but I can't seem to find any setting in Photoshop that change the default settings.

How can I increase the thumbnail size when using Safari to upload an image to a website?

I upload many images to multiple websites and when using Safari to upload these images, the thumbnails are so small I can barely make out what the image is. I can easily figure out how to increase the thumbnail size when viewing them in Finder and set the default to my liking, but I cannot seem to find a way to do this in Safari. The last topic I saw on this was form 2013 and have not seen any update. Is there a way to do this?

Delete all unused, invisible layers.
Sometimes zip compression is better than jpg compression (in the pdf output settings). Zip is lossless, and works better with non gradient colour or no images.
Flattening the image before you save it to pdf can reduce the file size if you are using jpg compression.
Post a preview of your pdf and we can comment further on how to reduce the file size.

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.

How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

I went to the link. I selected iPHONE. There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page. I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7. Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'. And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry. No iOS entries on an iphone page. Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.

Hope that helps.

Thumbnail size when uploading pics to Websites

Ok, I've asked this question on several sites with no luck and getting a little frustrated. When attempting to load photos from file on my local harddrive to facebook, 500px, flickr, email, etc. the the thumbnails are fixed in size. The option to enlarge or reduce them is not available in any viewing mode. This only happens when attempting to upload them to a third party website. I've also tried both Safari and Chrome, I've adjusted thumbnail size in "finder" and they simply revert back to the fixed size when you open the upload window. Does anyone know the fix for this? Yes, you could use cover flow, but thats a work around at best and does not solve my problem of not being able to adjust thumbnail size at all in the upload window. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

How can I use the bridge photos that are thumbnail size and place in Photoshop to edit, etc? The size is too small, - how to enlarge without blur?

When I use Bridge to transfer a photo into Photoshop, the size is thumbnail. It is too tiny to edit into Photoshop. How to enlarge without blur?

That is the actual size of your image file. 48 x 38 is very small.
That is not a Bridge or Photoshop problem.
It is a very small image and you cannot enlarge it more than x 1.5.
If you want a large photo you must ask for it from whoever gave it to you, or take a bigger photo if it is yours.

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

I can only see album pictures on Facebook in thumbnail size, when I open the picture it will not load. I can open these pictures on other computers but not mine.

I cant open album pictures on facebook on my computer, but i can on others. I can see pictures thumbnail size, so I can still see pictures, but when I go to open them to see them full size it will not load or show up.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar. 
A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info"). 
Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window. 
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key. 
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Can't adjust print size when printing from the internet on HP F4440 printer.

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.
