When I have my photos printed, the borders are getting cut off. Whats the problem? Does anybody else have this problem. Not just borders, but other processing additions as well.
My sister n law just graduated, and I took her photos. I did really good, but I am trying to add her initials to the bottom, and I don't want them being cut off. <---thats the latest problem.
Somebody else has had this problem I know, or am I really the biggest dummy ever?
Thank you kindly for any suggestions or comments. |

Are you choosing "no border?" in the printing options? If you are, then on most printers, the edge of each photo will be cut off somewhat.
edit:
I will usually crop to the size of my "paper". If 4x6 then I will crop 4x6. However, if you choose "no border" then some of the image will be cut.

| Are you preparing them at the proper aspect ratio for the print size you're choosing? |

| No, no! I don't print. I am talking about the standard 4x6 that printing stations print. Like say Wal-Mart, or Walgreens, or any of the other chain printing. I personally use Shutterfly and can see what I print first, but when I give C.D's with photos on them to people and they take them to wal-mart, they come back saying that they are off. |

| If your border is white, some printers won't recognize your border and will crop to the first color it sees. |

| There is information near the bottom of this page at Dry Creek Photo which will likely explain your problem. |

Wal-mart took me a while to figure outâ€Â¦lol
I resize images that I want at 4x6 to 600x900 before printing and it works out fine. I do this all the time with my proofs @ wal-mart and they have a white border.

The only problem I am having with that Connie is I can only change one or the other when I re-size. After changing the one, the other is automatic.
I feel like such a dummy especially bringing this to you guys. I am sure there is something simple right under my nose that I have missed. I am on my way now to Photoshop > Help > Aspect ratio, and see if there is something there. |
