 |
|
I have a number of 10 megapixel photos I am trying to print at a size of 4 x 6 inches at Walgreen's store. The photos are coming out cropped in a bad way.
I then figured I would reduce them in size in Photoshop.
Most of the photos are 10 megapixels that comes out to 50.667 inches in width and 38 inches in height with a resolution of 72.
I then click the resample box and type in 6 inches for the width
and the height automatically comes out to 4.5 inches. I don't want to change only the height to 4 or the photo would not come out proportional.
All the photos are reducing the same and that means a
half inch would be cropped out of the Walgreen's machine.
Another 10 megapixel photo I wanted to print on the Walgreen's Kiosk cropped out everything from the knee down from the image of the person.
Although you could move the crop frame around you could not expand it to include the whole figure.
The 10 megapixel photo I cropped says in Photoshop it is
7.083 inches in width and
17.028 inches in height
I changed the width to 4 inches and
the height came out to 9.616 inches
at a resolution of 72
That would cut off a great deal of the photo in the Wall Greens Kiosk.
Again, I don't want to change one figure different than
the other because it won't come out proportional.
So how in the world am I ever going to get these photos to come out uncropped on a 4 x 6 inch sheet?
What is the solution? |

First of all if you are going to resize the image turn off re-sample. Otherwise the resolution will remain at 72, which is not adequate for printing.
Resize it to the 6X4.5 size, then use the crop tool set to 4X6 and decide what you are willing to sacrifice. |
