Printing, how?

Postby Kris on Sun Feb 25, 2007 2:47 pm

Hi Guys

Just wondering whats the best way to print? I have a stack of images and I know that they need to be resized or similar to fit 6x4,a4 or a3. Whats the best way of doing this? at the moment the printer is chopping half of the image off :(

Cheers
Kris

Check your crop before you print, to avoid the printer cutting it up on you :)

Where are you printing?

Normally you dont really need to resize them unless you taking them to pro-labs. As they do all the colour managing and print the size as file says.

If you are taking them to your corner pharmacy or shopping centre photo lab, all you need is to check if you square cropped or cropped out from the originals, if not then all should be good if you print standard sizes (6x4 or 12x8 etc) these are standard 3:2 ratio as in DSLR sensors.

Separate them into the sizes you want, diff folders

Batch resize them via PS

and send for printing.
