Printing is not WYSIWYG; photo is being cropped

When my wife prints from iPhoto with the desired target of a 4X6 print, she finds that iPhoto is cropping the photo around the entire perimeter. She showed me: (1) the photo in iPhoto; (2) the preview of the print (which crops it some); (3) and then the final print (which crops it even more).
She is printing borderless. So the resolution of the print is actually larger than would be if no cropping were taking place.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this or where I can get help? (I've considered purchasing Aperture, but it seems to be an expensive printing solution. I'm not sure whether it would fix the issue.)
Thank you.

<your Kodak cameras most likely takes photos in a 4x3 ratio and to print that photo in a 4x6 ratio something is going to cropped - it is not Mac vs PC, iPhoto vs some other program ->
HI LN,
Thanks for your reply.
(Please understand as I explain further I am not making this a battle of which is better: pc or Mac. I love my new MacBook and happy to be learning the Apply way!!)
I trust you are right about the ratio--it is not something of which I am knowledgeable. What I do know is that with my Sony, Kodak and Canon digital cameras, I take pics at either the highest or 2nd highest resolution, download to my pc computer and then use either Picasa, the Windows print function or Adobe Elements. All 3 of these allow me simply to print my picture as a 4x6 without losing the tops of the picture (which matters mostly on close ups). As I mentioned earlier even on the pc, if I chose the borderless option I do lose some of the tops of the picture. With iPhoto though when I try to print a 4x6 I lose quite a bit more of the top of the picture. I lose the same amount whether I chose borderless or with a border on my Mac.
With Mac being known for being more user friendly than pc's, it seems odd to me that I am having difficulty with this common printing task.

Since downloading iCloud, I am now receiving emails twice and also notes and photos are being doubled up. Any ideas?

Since downloading iCloud, I am now receiving emails twice and also notes and photos are being doubled up on my phone. Any ideas?

iCloud is not downloaded, it is a part of iOS5.
Do you possibly have iCloud and a MobileMe account set up on the device? If so, remove the MobileMe account.

Why are my notes and photos no being shared anymore?

I have an iphone and ipad which were synched just fine until now. I just added a Mac Mini and changed my Apple ID password and now nothing is synched anymore. My notes are now different on all devices and no photo stream. I have reset my new Apple ID password in all places, but that doesn't help. When I attempt to but a check in the boxes next to notes and photos in the icloud settings, I am prompted to create a me.com address, even though I use the Apple ID address for icloud. Even if I attempt to enter my me.com addres, it tells me that that one is already taken.
Please help. I need to be able to synch and share photos and notes on all devices.

Whilst you've changed details on your devices, have you changed them with Apple.

TS3989 Not all photos are being pushed to my photo stream folder on computer?

So this was working right for a while and now its not doing so well. Some pictures are being uploaded but now they arent uploading.. HELP!!!

Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

Not all photos are being published to Smugmug

LR5 will not publish all of my photos to Smugmug. I get a message that LR failed to export some files. Can anyone help?

Would it be possible to furnish some more info?
e.g. versions of OS, Lr, and which SmugMug plugin & version.
Anything that would help shed light, e.g. have you tried exporting the same photos and/or a larger set of photos to hard disk? what about using ftp plugin, or another smugmug plugin...
I mean, lots of people export their photos to smugmug without issue, so to know what's going on in your case, it would help to define your "case".
Screenshot of error dialog?
Always the same photos? random? percent failed?
etc.
I mean, maybe somebody will come along with a magic bullet you can use, and you won't have to go through any of that, but in the mean time... - it might help.

I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original. I do not use referenced files. I can't make any adjustments like cropping etc. What can I do to print any of these photos?

I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original.
Have you checked inside your Aperture library, if the original files are still there?
Try to find out, when the images in those projects have been originally imported, then open the Aperture library by ctrl-clicking it and using the command "Show package contents" from the pop-up menu. In the window that will open, select the folder "Masters" and browse the contents. You need to find the subfolder with the year you imported the images, then the folders with the month and the day.
Are your original files still there?
If yes, copy them to a folder on your desktop for safe-keeping, and then try, if repairing the permissions and the other Furst Aid tools will help Aperture to connect to these missing files again - see this link: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
If the First Aid Tools don't help, then check, if Aperture has moved the missing images to a "recovered folder". If not, reimport the images, you saved to your Desktop and use the Lift&Stamp tool to transfer any adjustment and captions to your reimported images.

Printer will not make 4x6 size photos

I just bought an HP Photosmart 8250 printer and I cannot print the 4x6 size photos. The printer instead pulls paper from the letter size tray. I believe it is a problem with the computer because I was able to print a 4x6 photo with just the memory card in the printer and all hook-ups to the computer detached. As far as I know, I have selected the right size paper wherever given the choice. In Mac System Preferences however, I cannot change the "Default Paper Size in Page Setup" to a 4x6 size. Is this the root of my problem? If not, what is?

Hi,
I think I might know how to fix the probem you are having. I too, just purchased an HP 8250 printer. I found that I had to go into the Advanced menu on the Print dialog box. Pick "Paper Type/Quality" and choose the Photo tray. The default is the "Main Tray" which typically holds your 8 1/2 by 11 paper.
That should have the printer pull from the proper paper tray (4x6 photo tray).
I am using the 4x6 Borderless photo paper that has a removable tab. (didn't now that until I bought it.) However, I'm still having problems getting the printer to print a true borderless print. The only way it will without giving me a white border on the left and right "landscape" or 4" edges is if I pick "Zoom and Crop" which then will do that to the picture.
If you are having that problem or if you know how to fix it, would you let me know. the one thing I am finding with this HP printer and my Mac, is that there are way too many steps when wanting to print a photo from your computer. It's a bit frustrating. I have yet to try printing from a memory card as I have always just printed directly from iPhoto. (previously used an Epson 1280)
good luck!

HT4356 Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed. Sorry.
You do have some options at this point.
If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option. However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.

Retina 5K w iPhoto 9.6 will not send photo to Epson XP-810 Series printer

Retina 5K w iPhoto 9.6 will not send photo to Epson XP-810 Series printer. Eternal/Infernal Beachball starts immediately and the system is frozen. Requires hard shutdown to clear and regain control of computer operation. I can export photos to my Desktop and print out of the Preview App, but that isn't really satisfactory.
I also have had an intermittent problem of not being able to send an email with pictures attached from within the iPhoto - this problem extends back to Mountain Lion days.
I have checked for Epson XP-810 Series s/w downloads both on the Epson site and the Apple App Store, and I appear to have the most current version.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

How can I send multiple pictures to the Kodak link (under file & then order prints)? if the photos are not sequential can it be done?

Does the order matter here?Because the photos will be sent for printing. If there is any other reason, can you please cite example.

How can I print from my ipad to the plain paper tray not the photo tray?

I have a new
HP Photosmart Plus All-in-One Printer - B209a
and an ipad on my showroom floor.
I let my customers use the ipad to browse through photos of items that are not on display, then print some of the photos. Right now the print job always goes to the photo tray - but I want it to print on plain letter size paper. If there is no photo paper in the tray, the print job fails with an out of paper error.
Is there a way to get this printer to print photos from the ipad photos app onto the standard paper tray?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can give me.
Richard

Photos will always print from the photo tray, if the printer has one. This cannot be configured by the user currently.

Is there a way to not have photo stream photos save to my iphone? i have many shared photo streams hoping to not bog down my iphone space. but alas the photos are are being saved on my iphone.
For example. When I share a photo stream with my dad and brother and mother all the photos they are putting in the shared photo stream are taking up space on my iphone! I'll be out of space in no time at this rate.

hi, this thread already deals with the issue:
How can I prevent getting calls from number that are not in my address book?
