Resizing a photo for printing

I am trying to resize a photo for printing to a 8x10 as it still crops off the top and bottom when printing. I took this with my D3100. How can I do this? I have tried printing several times.

Your image does not fit the 8x10 format - so it will always crop - probably not what you wanted to hear. But a couple of solutions for you:
Print the image on a larger paper so that it will fit, you will end up with a border - but will fit or
Resize the image in Photoshop - Image/Size to something like 9" high, that will automatically reduce the width of your image, but you will still end up with a border, but the whole image wil be there
Hope this helps, and maybe next time you can frame the image in camera to ensure your subject fits in a 4x5 ratio (leave a bunch of headroom at top and bottom)

  • LOADING PHOTOS FOR PRINTING

    Two questions in 1.
    When I try to load photos for printing to a commercial site (not Apple) I cannot find my albums in the menu.  When I click on the albums folder under database there is nothing there.  The only place I can find shows the photos in date order which is very laborious.
    If I do load photos individually from the main library only the IMG description loads not my own added details.  I have tried two separate suppliers but with the same result.  When I used to upload from a PC the details would appear and come back printed on the reverse of the photo.
    I cannot find any help menu item.

    In the upload window use the media browser. In the extreme lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • Arranging the placement and order of photos for print or web

    This is something I was expecting with the first Lightroom and it still seems to be clunky in 2.3...
    Basically, there doesn't seem to be a way we can simply click and drag photos we want to be together and have them in orders of our choosing. The closest I've been able to find is when in picture package mode in the Print section. What is frustrating is that when I select most other templates, I can't just move the photos I want grouped together to where I'd like them to be. On the flip side, when in the picture package mode and I populate the frames by dragging photos to them, unlike contact sheet/grid mode, one can't move the photo around within that frame...
    My understanding of Lightroom was that it made it easy for photographers to deal with their photos. For me, I like to be able to just move and group fluidly for print and web to see how pictures complement and flow regardless of tag, filename, or random selected order.
    I can't imagine I'm the only one with this frustration, is there a remedy?

    Thanks for that everyone you were right! I was being super-DUper sMart and Brilliant there and had only been trying to re-arrange within the layout window of the Print and Web areas. I think I was just assuming I was having the same trouble from Lightroom 1 and just stopped trying since it seemed the files either never moved or didn't stick (can't remember now). In any case, Thank you!

  • Trying to layout a photo for printing in iPhoto '09

    I'm fairly new to a Mac and iPhoto and have been trying to get a photo to print half-size on an A4 sheet of paper and can't seem to do it. I'm using A4 photo paper and just want to re-size and layout a photo so it only takes up half the A4 sheet (i.e. A5) and then put another beside it to take up the other half. Previously on a PC and with PaintShopPro I could just resize and rotate photos so they were laid out on a page just the way I wanted them. Is this possible in iPhoto '09 or do I need to buy Aperture, Photoshop elements or PaintShopPro in order to do this?
    Thanks

    You want to print two photos on an A4 page, right?
    1 - select the two photos and click on Print.
    2 - set Page size to A4 borderless
    3 - set Print size to Custom
    4 - enter a width of A4's width less .25" and length to A4/2 less .25".
    That should give you 2 photos per page with a minimal white border. If you try to set the width to exactly the width of the A4 page and exactly half the length it will revert to 1 photo per page. You can experiment with the .25" dimension a bit and might be able to get it a bit larger.

  • Resizing portrait photos for Premiere

    I am placing resized (1000x750) photos into Premiere 13 for a video/slide show. I understand resizing for landscape photos, but how do I resize portrait photos to import into Premiere?

    It's not  an issue as I can export to a new size correctly with iPhoto 9.4.3.
    Tried export size Large, as well as Custom with a Maximum Dimension of 1280. Same problem.
    That does not affect pixel dimensions. It only changes the amount of jpeg compression that is applied to the file which affects file size, not image size. 
    I suggest you update your system to 10.8.3 with the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo) updater and update your iPhoto to the latest, 9.4.3.  Then give it a try again.
    Also you can give this a try first: Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Best way to light photos for printing

    Hi All,
    I previously posted on the forum on what to do if my prints are too dark. After getting helpful feedback from other forum users and confirming with the pringint company, I made sure that my monitor is calibrated to 90 lumens. Now am wondering the best way to lighten the photos for export (as I can't see the impact of gamma like in the print dialog.)
    Backgound:
    I setup my macbook pro to get the correct color calibration to print correctly. (I am exporting to sRGB colorspace to send to the online printing company). After calibrating my laptop lcd, it is apparent (by sending a few test photos) that the prints still come out a little too dark. As I am working on a laptop, I am limited to how much the screen vs exported photos can be adjusted. Therefore, I am looking on the best way to retouch the photos for exporting. Also note that I am using apple aperture.
    Which is the best way to lighten up the photos (or a group of images that are taken under different lighting situations exposures, that would also keep my workflow streamlined?
    1. Adjust the images on export using a gamma adjustment. (easiest to implement but since aperture only shows gamma adjustments on printing and not exporting, setting this correctly will be a guess.)
    2. Use a curves adjustment to lighten the photo. (Might be the easiest to implement and see the results but need to create separate version for viewing on screen vs printing which isn't hard but adds a layer complexity).
    3. Use some of the exposure/brightness/showdow recovery sliders. (Unsure of the best sliders to use and each photo needs separate adjustments. In addition, like 2 above, separate versions would be need to display on screen vs printing).
    4. (Other ideas?).
    I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    The situation has changed a little, our original photos are in RAW format and some of them are slightly over saturated in the higher tones.
    I've read on other threads that it is a good idea to run the 'Enhance' tool on all photos before sending the iPhoto Book away.
    Since iPhoto's 'Enhance' tools seems to do a lot of helpful things like sharpen, adjust the levels, etc it also seems to notch the contrast up and this would prove destructive for the lighter and darker tones not captured by the camera's dynamic range.
    So as I've been advised it's best to use Apple's own tools before sending the iPhoto Book away, so I'm going to download the trial of Aperture.
    Does anyone have any more recommendations on which monitor colour profile setting to use etc. I've also read that iPhoto prints best from JPEGS so the RAW will obviously need changed. Will Aperture automatically save to Profile name: Camera RGB Profile after I've done some editing there?
    What would be the best way to prepare RAW images in aperture where some of them might need an Image Overlay in Photomatix then imported back to Aperture for printing an Apple/iPhoto style Book?
    Many thanks

  • Confused about color vs. b/w photos for printing...and more

    I reading confusing things about exporting a PDF for printing with both color and black and white images used in the same document.
    If I export to PDF and do a soft-proof and it looks okay, is that sufficient? If so, what's confusing about that, since this is my first print project, which Simulation Profile do I use? Is there a chart somewhere that compares U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 to let's say 80 lb Gloss book with Aqueous coating (C2S)?
    I don't know what any of this means. So, is there a good article on this site, elsewhere, or an online printer who can help a rookie like me ensure I end up with a decent product?
    UPrinting.com advertises a "Free Project Review" that includes the following:
    Our team will run your file through a 30-point inspection, covering technical issues including:
    Artwork dimensions
    Bleed setup
    Low resolution images

    Folding setup
    Page scaling
    Line weights
    Proper text spacing (compressed/expanded)
    Narrow borders that are at risk of being cut
    Compliance with USPS Mailing Guidelines
    Bindery setup for multi-page artwork
    What should I do? Is this trustworthy as long as I get a contract proof? Is there a "Go To" online printer that everyone loves (not sure you can recommend that here) or should I seek out a local printer?
    I'm using CS4 and have a file that's (maybe) ready to go but am looking at a learning curve of days if not weeks if I have to figure it all out myself.
    Thanks everyone.
    Paul

    InDesign puts grayscale and B&W (bitmap mode) art on the Black plate, where it belongs, so if you soft proof using the CMYK profile for your expected output conditions your preview will be accurate for the grayscale and B&W images as they will appear in print. presuming your monitor is calibrated and profiled so that you can trust what you see.
    Aqueous coating is applied AFTER the printing to protect, and possible enhance the glossiness of, the page (but not all coatings are glossy). This is not the same thing as printing on coated paper, which has a glossy surface and high ink holdout (and improves detail reproduction and usually will geive better color). You should be using whatever profile the printer has specified.

  • Resizing a photograph for print (aspect ratio)

    Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with something that seems like it should be very simple, but I can't seem to figure out.
    When I import my pictures from my DSLR into Bridge and then open in Photoshop the image size is varies, but typical size is 16"x22" and I want to be able to print the full image as an 8"x10" without cropping or loosing any parts of the image.  Is there a way to do this?  When I try to simply decrease the image size, the measurements never come out to 8"x10", sometimes it actually gets larger and not smaller.  I have even tried resizing the canvas and that makes it worse.
    Ideally once I get this figured out i would like to try to make it an action so that I can prepare multiple photographs at the same time.
    Thanks :-)

    Increase the ppi.
    Use this formula:
    inches X ppi = pixels
    Knowning any two of the above values will give you the third. 
    So 1200 px / 300 ppi = 4"
    1200 px / 72 ppi = 16.66"
    Luckily Photoshop will do the work for you.
    Image>Image Size  Unselecting the box for resampling will fix the pixels so they do not change therefore no adding or subtracting pixels.
    By editing the physical size the ppi will change - editing the ppi will change the physical size. Try it out, you will see they are tied together, one goes up the other must go down.

  • LR enlarging photo for print, what interpolation is it using?

    LR enlages photos to fit paper size, anyone knows what it is using to do so, same as PS CS? how is the quality of the enlarged photo compared to other interpolated enlargement?

    Yeah, I do the latter if it needs really high quality. If it doesn't need upscaling, which for me means smaller than about 12x18 I just go straight from LR. I do like LR's printing pane much better than the one in Photoshop. I don't print myself very much anymore though due to the large differential in cost with printing services that generally give results on par with (and in some respects better) the most expensive inkjets for far less money. You're just limited in types of paper and in gamut where inkjets beat the photographic processes.

  • Email Photo for Printing

    I want to email a photo that will be printed. What is the minimum resolution and size (pixel dimension or document size) that will produce a good home view quality; 4x6 print; 5x7 print; 8x10 print. Thanks

    No need to be frustrated at the Apple Support lacewing. However you should access 'Help' at the menu bar at the top of the screen on top of the Application window (window). I am very sorry that I am not very familiar at 'Photo Lab' but there must be some sort of place to upload them.
    Tip: Try looking for 'icc_profiles' related menu bars to access.
    If I still haven't helped you anymore than you already know, either email me more information on this software (I am checking 'Photo Lab' now) or just reply in a more detailed description.
    My email: [email protected]
    Trust me, it's worth a try if you really need this.

  • Resizing a photo for email attachment

    Hi
    Need some help as according to the help section on my Passport, I can reduce the size of the message by reducing the size of pitcure attachments by "on the image size screen, tap a size". When adding some photos as attachments, im not presented with any options for reducing the image sizes as in previous versions and therefore may be forced to send 3 images at a time which would be very basic. Have i inadvertently switched this function off somewhere and if so how do i address this issue.
    Many thanks as always in advance

  • How do I resize vertical photos for iMovie?

    The online support says "constrain to HD" but when I do that, it just cuts off the top and bottom of photo - how do I resize it to keep the whole photo, just "shrink" it?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Double-click on the photo in the iMovie project to open its settings, and check if Ken Burns is selected. Turn it off and make sure the size slider is set all the way to the left. iMovie should display the entire photo with black bars at the sides.
    Regards.

  • Elements 13 will not custom scale a photo for print.

    When I try to custom scale a photo, the sizes have no effect on the finished photo and leaves a vertical bar on either side in Elements 13.  Elements 12 worked much better.

  • Lightroom Resizing of Photos for PrE Pan and Zoom

    Not knowing better, I tried my first PrE slide show project with huge RAW stills.  It worked without crashing or stalling. 
    For a year I've been learning and practiceing with Lightroom and like it a lot.  It has a very convient risizing tool. 
    I'm confused on a setting.  Bill Hunt used Photoshop in the article linked by John Smith.  It does not mention "pixels per inch".  Also, I'm setting the "long edge" at 1.5 x the original's 1920 to make room for Pan and Zoom. 
    I don't know what to do with "pixel per inch" to match or optimize for a AVCHD 1080p project.  I'm guessing at 140.
    Screen shot of Lightroom export page:
    Do these setting look like they make sense?  Should the pixels per inch be different?
    Thanks. 
    Bill

    I posted the same question in the Lightroom forum and got the answer that "ppi" settings are meaningless here.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5811248#5811248
    While I was at it I tried several things.  One was to use dimensions greater than 1920x1080 to improve Pan&Zoom.  I could see no difference other than the files were bigger.

  • Resizing Screen Shots for Print

    Hello,
    I have been tasked with capturing screen shots in order to print them in a manual. I used PrtScr and saved them as a .TIFF. I know there are problems with this kind of printing, and I was hoping to learn the "right way" since I will have to do this quite often.
    I have read in profession book and magazine printing articles that they re-create the screen shot because screen shots just don't print well, so I am not expecting miracles. I just want to get a process in place so these screen shots can look the best they can without re-drawing them or something.
    So when I opened the screen shots in Photoshop they are 96dpi and the pixel dimensions are 1122x871. I would like to reduce the pixel dimensions by 1/3 as they are too large, and increase the resolution, but I am pretty sure that won't do much. Plus the screen shot looks blurry and unsharp mask doesn't fix it much.
    Any help with this process would be appreciated.

    To me it seems a screen shot at 1100+ pixels and printed in a small manual could end up with the user interface elements printing so small that they could be difficult to see in the final print.  As an example, consider how big the menu being shown will be a print at, say, 4.5" width of both of these screens:
    Some other things to consider:
    Along the same lines as the above, you might want to turn up the Windows display scale factor.  Windows 7 provides settings in the Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display dialog.  At 150% the characters and UI elements are made up of more pixels.
    Consider also turning off ClearType font smoothing as these will only make the letters in prints seem fringed with color - not normally a good visual.
