Maybe someone could clue me in here...
Aspect ratio 3x2 is the same as 6x4 is the same as 12x8.
Yet I just went and had half a dozen 8x12 prints made and I had to crop every single one of my (according to Photoshop) 3x2 aspect ratio images.
I was pretty irritated as the shots were composed exactly how I wanted them. What are the exact dimensions I should be cropping to?
Btw, I also told them (Wolf aka Ritz) I'd be happy if they would just leave the photos at the height/width they were and added border around to make up the size if needed. They said they couldn't. |

| Some printers are set to enlarge the image slightly to avoid any white edges. Check way at the bottom of this page at Dry Creek Photo for a table of exact pixel sizes for various printers/resolutions. |

Sounds strange - can you give an example of the dimensions of one of your images eg 2000x3000 pixels....
Are you sure they were printing 8x12 and not 8x10?
Most software I have seen will allow the "borders and no crop" feature - the common Kodak & Agfa stuff does anyway... sounds like it might be worh finding a better printer. I know a few good ones but they are all in Australia ;-)

These were all cropped in photoshop using fixed aspect ratio 3x2 (or 2x3 as the case may be)
3504x2336
3444x2296
2556x1704
3456x2304
2174x3261
2390x1593
Interesting link GeneralE. So 8x12 isn't always 8x12 after all. |
