Printing a smaller picture on larger paper

I'm using Lightroom on an iMac.  I have not been able to easily resize a picture, say to 8x12, and then print it on a larger piece of paper, like half a sheet of 13x19 paper. 
In Photoshop Elements, I can easily resize the picture by typing the dimension into the aspect ratio boxes, and then use the crop tool to resize the pic.  When I print from Elements, when I choose a larger paper size, Elements will print an 8x12 in the center of the larger paper.
I haven't found a similar picture resize tool in Lightroom, and Lightroom likes to just fit the picture to whatever size paper you use, rather than the size of the picture, as adjusted.
So two questions: Can I create an aspect ratio for a picture, then crop a picture to that size, in Lightroom?  And once that picture is cropped (however that's done), how can I get Lightroom to print the actual ratio I've set, on a larger piece of paper?
Thanks for the help,
John

Yes, you can do both. 8 x 12 is, of course, the original ratio of DSLRs, and you can choose among several crop presets, as well as make up to five of your own custom ratios.
Now, in the Print Module, if there's not a template that fills the bill for you, simply make one by clicking the + sign next to Templates, and set margins, sizes, etc. in the right hand panel.

  • Trying to print very small picture on HP C7280

    Hi,
    I am trying to print a picture of my son to go into a tiny frame mounted on a ring.  The problem is, the finished product needs to be about .6" x .75" and I don't see where I can go (if I can) to get the dimensions to print this small.  I have edited the photo so that it appears this small on my computer, but the smallest option I can get the printer to print is 3x 4.92, which is obviously way to large.  Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    How you enable double-sided printing can depend on the applications from whick you wish to print. Example: if I print to my HP PhotoSmart  from Safari, I get this print dialog box:
    (Edit: OOPS! Note that I forgot to switch printers when i took the scene-shots, so ignore the "Brother" reference. It's should look the same for your HP.
    Note the selection labled "Safari" near the bottom. If I change that form "safari to "Layout: I get this:
    Note the option for two-sided printing appears for your selection. If I print from Word, the box is different:
    The "Copies & Pages" option can be changed to "Layout" when you click it, again allowing the selection of two-sided printing.
    If you tell us what applciaiton is vexing you, we may be able to give better-focused information.

  • Printing a small picture without 3rd party software

    Girlfriend bought a new mac (I convinced her), and wanted to test her new printer. I pressed appleshift4 to make a small picture clipping.
    Normally, I would drag the image into Microsoft Word for Mac, and reshape, position, and resize the image there. But since her computer is new, this was not an option. Also, there was no Pages Trial version on her computer either for some reason.
    Preview seems to be useless, but I may be wrong. When I print in Preview, it automatically makes the tiny image as big as it can get without going off of the paper. I couldn't find any other way to change the size of the image. I tried iPhoto and it seemed to me that it had limited ability in the resizing and positioning and such.
    I'm probably missing something obvious, but is there a way to freely choose position and size of the printed picture on the page without downloading more software?

    Kappy, How do you do it with iPhoto?
    CMCSK, For some reason, against my expectations, iWorks or Pages was nowhere to be found. I "spotlighted" them after failing to find them in the applications folder. I did not think to look for Microsoft Word Trial Version on the Mac. I doubted it would be there because Apple has Pages and Numbers. I'll check later, but I guess I also want to know how to do it without trial software.
    Kenichi Watanabe, Scaling only allows me to change the size, but not the position of the image. Halfway there!
    RothRock, After clicking the arrow, I get many options, including scaling, but I can't find any positioning option (other than just the Centre option).
    Does anybody know how to scale and position? I'm going to try iPhoto some more. Something as simple as positioning for printing shouldn't be this hard to find.

  • How do i print out my picture after scanning it. it comes out way to small

    after scanning my picture i print it out and it comes out way to small

    If you print the scans and they come out too small, it may be that you have a setting off when you scan it in.  To resolve this problem completely, you could simply make a copy instead.  But in order to assist you with this, I will need to know a lot more information.
    1.  What kind of printer do you have (Officejet 8600, Photosmart C6380, etc)?
    2.  What kind of computer do you have (Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS 10.8, etc)?
    3.  What software/program are you using to scan (HP Scan, HP Solution Center, Paint, etc)?
    4.  What program are you using to print the scans (Windows Picture Viewer, Photoshop, etc)?
    5.  What is the file type of the scan (.pdf or .tiff)?
    Make sure your scan size is equivelant to the page you are scanning, resolution is set to at least 600 dpi, the item type is set appropriately such as to document since photo will make the image smaller, and go to advanced settings to check file size is not set to "Smallest."
    I hope that helps.   If not, I will need to you to answer the questions above please or I will not be able to help you.  However, I have provided all the necessary information above regarding an HP printer on a Windows PC using the HP Scan.  
    Let me know if I can be of any more assistance. I'm happy to help!
     I have the same problem. I have a HP Photosmart 7525 printer and work with Windows 7. I just want to copy a photo and it keeps coming out much smaller. I just put the photo on the scanner plate in the corner, choose the copy icon, and out comes a small picture in the corner of my photo paper,.There must be a setting somewhere but I can't find it. Can anyone help me?

  • 8750 printer will only print a small part of a photo what ever size paper I use and prferences

    Is there a solution to printing as when I try to print a photo either in 6x4 or even A4 it still only prints a small section of the photo in one corner of the paper and after all preferences checked it still remains the same.

    Hi there john2boy,
    With the jam and print missing ink lets try downloading and running the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility located here:

    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Prints too small on HP Inkjet 2800, prints too large on Adobe PDF Printer

    I have been having this problem with all Macs in my network:
    Whenever I need to print anything on my HP Inket 2800 printer, from either InDesign or Illutrator, it will print really small, even though "fit to page" is unchecked, size is at 100% and page sizes are correctly chosen. It will even ignore the Position settings (if I choose centered, it will print on upper left). If I export the PDF it shows fine and I can print perfectly through Acrobat.
    If I choose to print over Adobe PDF, I get the opposite: InDesign will enlarge everything a lot and maintain the paper size for some reason. This way, I can't use Print Booklet to generate PDF files.
    I have tried reinstalling the HP printer drivers, without success.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Just got off the phone with Adobe and found a cure.
    Open print dialog box.
    Go to Set up
    the paper size: scroll to top and select defined by driver.
    It worked for both the HP 8150 and Xerox Phaser 7700
    I'm running CS3 on Mac Intel G5 OS X 10.5.5.

  • Problems printing to large paper size

    Hi,
    Using Acrobat 9
    In my work, I use different programs for floorplans and renderings. I send to my Customers the documents as PDF file , and usually the scaled floorplans are in  large paper size (22x34 or up)
    With one of the CAD programs, all works fine with paper size up to size C,  but if I choose, for example, Ansi D, I see a screen "Creating Adobe PDF" but nothing happens, the bar doesn't move and the file is not printed / saved
    I'd appreciate any idea to solve this issue
    TIA

    There are a couple of things you can try; 1.) see if you have enough system memory to process the page ( it could be running out of system memory ); 2.) set an invisible holding line to the page / document and lock it ( no stroke, no fill @ 13 x 19 ); 3.)  Use the Page tool ( if you haven't already ) and set it to the document, edge-to-edge.  Also, check you ink supplies, there may be an empty cartridge preventing you from printing the entire file.  Hope this helps.

  • Printing the same picture several time on the same paper

    I use to be able to print the same photo on 1 paper , often to create ID photos but i cannot succeed anymore with the latest version of my i photo !!!! any help is welcome

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Once you choose your photo, paper size and print size you'll get this window. Now click on the Customize button and in the next window click on the Setting button and select the option seen in this screenshot.
    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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How may I print out a picture from paper and not the photo tray?

    How may I print out a picture from paper and not the photo tray?

    From paper?  Do you have a digital image of it on your iPhone?
    "Photo tray"?  What do you mean here?  The iPhone does not have a photo tray.  Printers have trays.

  • Prints to large paper (Super B, 11x17) aren't formatted properly

    I have been struggling with a problem related to printing Super B and 11 x 17 sized paper. Using a PDF document with dimensions of 10x18, my print jobs always come off the printer as though the paper stock is 8.5 x 11". I have tried printing from Acrobat, Photoshop, Preview and the output is the same: the full sized image cropped to 8.5 x 11. The rest of the paper is left blank. To save paper I've been troubleshooting by printing to a PostScript file in the print dialog. The resulting PS file, opened in Preview, is an 8.5 x 11 document with only that same portion of my image printed on it.
    I have tried changing the page setup window numerous times, telling it to format for "Any Printer", my own Epson R1800, and Acrobat versions 7 through 9. In Page Setup I have tried numerous page sizes, including defining a custom page size as well. No effect. The only clue I have to this is if I define the page setup as "Tabloid" then the print job will go to the printer formatted for an 11x17 page. This is a workaround for that size but is no help with Super B.
    I believe this to be an Operating System issue because it persists with an Apple-only workflow: open PDF in Preview, set page size to Super B in the print dialog, and tell it to output a PostScript file. The file is formatted to 8.5x11. Is this somehow due to a setting in the Print Driver that I'm missing? If so, can I create a generic print driver that is not married to the Letter paper size? Thanks in advance!!

    Have you tried uninstalling the driver, repairing the disk permissions, then reinstalling the driver?
    If that doesn't work, Here is what I did when I had problems with custom page sizes on my R1800. After changing the size in Page Setup (which you have done you said), I hit Print. When the first print menu comes up I make sure "Scale to Media" is unchecked, then I hit "Print". When the second print menu comes up I choose "Paper Handling" under the drop down menu. I check "Scale to fit paper size" and "Scale down only" then I select the paper size I want to use. After doing that, it seemed to print the way I wanted to. I mainly ran into this problem when trying to use 13X19 paper.
    Hopefully this works for you.

  • No Plain Paper print option when printing on small size papers

    Hi,
    I am using an Officejet 100 and an Officejet 6500 on a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.5.8. HP Printer Driver version is 12.4.
    I need to print on plain paper using paper sizes A6 or 4"x6". The print window of the driver does not give a plain paper option (it is greyed).
    Hence, I have to use some photo paper setting even though printing on plain paper.
    That is just too slow!
    Is there any way to get the printer driver to allow the plain paper setting on A4 or 4"x6"?
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hello @bdosfan1 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing driver issues.  I would like to help!
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver - Mac OS X 10.5.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

    Hello lotfi070,
    You may try downloading the HP ePrint home & biz app from the App Store. It provides a few more options when trying to print photos from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. You should be able to specify paper size, paper type, picture size, and color options.
    Hope this helps.

  • Any recommendations for A3 colour  printer for small studio?

    Need a printer to do A3 or A3+ printouts for client mockups in small studio.
    Can anyone recommend one? Needs to be networked with 3 people using it.

    Formally, your question belongs on the Apple ColorSync Users list and not here, but Pages is the place where photography and typography come together, so here goes.
    1. Stay away from toner-based printing devices. They tend to have a tiny gamut, too small for the RGB colour space in which you capture and correct your photographs, and too small for proofing.
    2. Stay away from printing devices intended for the office imaging market. These devices tend to have a small hardwired RGB colour space, that is, sRGB.
    You may not be able to work around the cap on the colour gamut in an ICC characterisation of the colour device, so you can't get at its full colour gamut.
    3. For presentation printing and proof printing, a graphic arts CcMmYK inkjet with bright and neutral white substrate produces a colour gamut you can use in two ways.
    a. For presentation printing you can address the whole gamut of the inks+substrate, reproducing as much as possible of the colour space within which you capture and correct photographs. Use the smart 3D gamut comparison in the ColorSync Utility to see what you could be loosing.
    b. For proof printing you can clip the large gamut to the size and shape of the gamut of the intended printing condition, adding paper white simulation for D50 visual matching and matching by colour measuring instrument for contract proofing using a control strip.
    There are contract quality presentation-printing and proof-printing RIPs for Mac OS X Server. BEST/EFI Colorproof by a group of people in Germany is one such. They have a forum where you can work out questions on configuring rendering intents, or you can ask on the Apple ColorSync list.
