6x4 photographs - I'm so confused!!
Hi.
I'm banging my head in trying to understand how to best print out my photographs. I've read numerous threads and through various websites but unfortunately I'm still faily clueless on this subject. Equipment: Canon EOS 300D. Photos always taken on maximum resolution. Image size is 3072x2048 pixels. Canon i865 printer. Always printed out on maximum quality. Horizontal colour printing resolution 4800 dpi Vertical colour printing resolution 1200dpi I like borderless photos. The problem is that using either Photoshop or the Canon supplied application, I have to severely trim/crop the photos to fit on the 6x4 window. Which often leads to a lot of the subject being taken out! In summary, I want to be able to print out my photographs as I've taken them without cropping *with* maximum quality. How do I do this please? It's driving me nuts! I don't want to print out cropped photographs. Thank you. Al. |

How do I do this please? It's driving me nuts! I don't want to print out cropped photographs. You need to downsample your photos to an appropriate print resolution. Usually that's around 300 dpi or so. [Forget about the 4800 or 1200 dpi quoted on the printer specs.] In your case, 3072 x 2048, printed at 4x6" would give 512 dpi. Which is overkill, but will probably work just fine anyway. [3072 pixels / 6" = 2048 / 4 = 512 dpi] You don't need to crop at all, because the aspect ratio is exactly right for printing at 4x6". There's probably also a way to do all of this "automatically" in the Canon print driver. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |

"Prometheus" wrote in message ... In article .com, writes Equipment: Canon EOS 300D. Photos always taken on maximum resolution. Image size is 3072x2048 pixels. Presumably you are using a 4:3 P&S camera, therefore just use Photoshop's mask tool to give you 6x4 with white boarders either side; or get 3:2 camera. Umm, why "presume" anything? The OP told you exactly what camera was used and the pixel dimensions. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |

Hi Dave.
Thanks for the *clear* instructions. Worked a treat. My only issue now is that it seems the Canon printer driver will slightly crop the image anyway when trying to do borderless printing. But I can live with that. Is there a way to automate the Image Size option so I don't have to do manually it for every photograph? I'm happy that this thing is finally working (after lots of wasted photographic paper and ink!). Thanks. Al. |
