 |
|
Hi There Everybody-
I have two photos that I took and due to the size of the photo, I can not print an 8X10 correctly. I will give you the original sizes so you know what I'm dealing with. If you can advise me on how to re-size this to print on 8 X 10 or, to re-size and maybe place it on a black background and then print the photo with a black border, that would be great. I do not know how to do this so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Pixel Dimension- X=3814
Y= 2553
Document Print Size- X= 3814
Y= 2553
Please fell free to contact me with any questions.
Thanks in advance for all your help !!!
Sincerely- Douglas |

hi,
i wish i knew exactly what you meant by printing correctly but i am assumming that the picture either looks stretched or leave excessive amount of empty space on the 2 sides of the image..
generally this is a issue of where the 8x11 has a difference ration than the pictures....
with most software the only thing you can do is cut part of the picture to get it be the same ratio as the paper or you clone in additonal pixels again to bring the image and paper to the same ratio ...
however if you have a pscs4 or cs5 there a feature they have , content aware rescale, it really neat you can stretch one side if not too much of a stretch..and you can't tell it been stretch ...
if you have content aware, in your case i would make a new blank file sized for your 8x11 and then bring in the image and resize to most fit and then use your content aware rescale to fill in empty space.. |

You can use the crop tool to resize it - just set it to 8 inches by 10 inches. You can use this to choose the sections you want to keep.
You can also use the crop tool to 'enlarge'. First resize your image window small enough so that you can see the background mat (you need to have room to drag outwards). Then use the crop to select as much of the document as you can, drag outwards in the direction you want to enlarge and hit enter when you're done. It will automatically add more space around your image (you might need to set what background you want to fill).
Hope this helps. |
