Printing 4x6 photo in iPhoto Problem

When trying to print a 4x6 in iPhoto, the print image is enlarged and cuts out the outer part of the photo. How can I get it to print the real size?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • 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.

  • When I print out photo thru iPhoto, the result is too dark.

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with printing a photo via iPhoto recently.
    I remember when I used iPhoto 9 to print out some of my photos but at that moment the result was pretty OK to me.
    However, I don't know exatly when but I guess it could be since I upgraded to iPhoto 10...
    Everytime I tried to print out some of my photos from my iPhoto library, the result is way too dark than its original color.
    I am using HP Photosmart device(C410ㅁ) with fuji photo papers.
    I tried to change several options like color sync or printing quality but NO use!!
    Strange thing is that if I use airprint with my iPhone or iPad, color level seems to be OK.
    But again, iPhone airprint doesn't give any options to manage printing quality level, it couldn't mitigate my problem, either.
    Is there anyone out there who has the same or similar problem just like me?
    Please share your knowledge to solve this issues.
    Thanks in advance
    Luke.

    What is the color profile of the photo?

  • I cannot print 4x6 photos only 8.5x11

    When I try to print a 4x6 photo it looks like it has a red haze to it. When I try to print the same picture on 8.5x11 it prints perfectly. How do I get the printer to print 4x6 photos. I am using HP paper. Can you help?

  • When I print 4x6 photos they are crooked on the paper

    Can anyone tell me why, when I print 4x6 photos the photo is crooked on the paper?

    Hello ncurto,
    Sorry that the photos are coming out crooked.  There actually could be a number of reasons why this could be happening.  I would like to request a little information from you.
    1.  The model number of the printer.  (c309, a909, d110)
    2.  What type of paper are you using?  (brand and size)
    3.  Have you done any type of troubleshooting since the issue has begun?  (Cleaning rollers, power cycling)
    4.  How long has this issue been a problem and did it ever print correct?
    5.  Does this error occur when you print out of the one application or all applications?
    The answers you provide will allow me to better diagnose the issue.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I select the photo, click print and the preview shows there is a lot of the photo cut off.  It also prints this way.  How can I print the whole picture?

    When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I click print and the preview shows a lot of the photo cut off.  It also prints this way.  How can I print the whole photo?

    After selecting File > Print, a pop-up window should appear. Select "Customize" and this should take you back into a panel within iPhoto. Towards the bottom, you should see an option for "Layout". Select this option and choose the correct photo orientation.
    Hope this helps!

    What is a good printer to get accurate color printing a photo in iphoto?

    If you need really accurate color, you will probably need to create your own profiles and use aperture for more control over the printing process.  Ctein is starting a series of posts on digital printing which you might find helpful:

  • Trying to print 4x6 photos on 7520, always gives no paper in tray message

    I am trying to print 4x6 photos from my laptop.  I have changed the preferences for the printer to "photo tray" and 4x6 photo paper.  I keep getting the message "no paper in tray".  The main tray is empty and I have 4x6 photo paper in the photo tray.  What next?

    the settings are correct.  if I put paper in the main tray it prints the picture on paper, not photo paper.  I printed a test page last night and it printed on the photo paper.  I still get the same message when trying to print the photo.  Thanks

    JimHess~  Many thanks.  In my short history with LR, it's amazing how many people I've seen ask this question.  I'm nearly embarrassed at how simple the fix was, but grateful that you didn't dismiss such a basic question.  You made my week.  And my friend's photo album...

  • How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

    How does one print single photos using iPhoto. I keep getting an error message:No Available Themes

    You need to reinstall iPhoto. To reinstall iPhoto delete the current application and, on all Macs with Snow Leopard or earlier installed, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
    HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
    or from the /var/db/receipts/  folder (10.6) .
    Deleting receipts is not necessary if your Mac came with Lion or later preinstalled.
    Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

  • 6515 won't print 4x6 photos defaults to 8x10. This happens on two different hp computers

    Hp 6515 will not print 4x6 photos defaults to 8x10 paper tray. This happens on two different model HP computers.

    Hello Cal31,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand when you try to print a 4x6 photo, it defaults to 8x10 paper. What is your operating system on your computer(s)? Windows or Mac?
    I would recommend following this HP document on An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the e-All-in-One Does Not Pick Up Paper ... Make sure you change the "Print Settings" to the correct paper size and the "Media Tab" is set on "Photo Tray".
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • 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???

  • I want to print a photo from Iphoto

    I want to print a photo from Iphoto and I keep getting a msg about a theme, what is that all about and how do I do it.  For something so simple why is this such a pain?

    Sure - easiest way is to make an album for photos you want to order and drag photos to it - when it is complete open the album, select all and order
