photoshop prints
I need some help with Photoshop, when I want to make an 8x10 or 5x7 etc, I sent it out and then when I get the image back it is cropped were I don’t want it to be, is there any actions or anything to see what it might look like when I receive the image Jul 07 13 02:37 pm Link BlueWolf Photography wrote: Most dSLRs have an 8x12 aspect so an 8x10 print will cut off 2 inches.

Each size will have a different crop factor. Always keep your crop in mind when shooting and leave space for it. IMO the best labs use software like ROEs where the photographer doesn't have to resize and can line up the crop online before sending to print. Labs like WHCC use ROEs Ordering with software kinda looks like this and allows you to set your crop  Jul 07 13 02:44 pm Link BlueWolf Photography wrote: If I'm not mistaking, you'll either have to use the 8x10 and/or 5x7 crop tool to see what the print will look like or crop as you want it to be and print an 8x12 instead of 8x10.

Everything is at the aspect you wanted. Jul 07 13 03:33 pm Link This is just my workflow for images of different sizes, first, I want to ensure that my image is full size for other purposes. So, in LR after finishing the photo I make a virtual copy, and crop to the size I want printed and send that photo out to the printer. Sometime I shoot an image too tight and if I crop it, say to 5X7 it cuts off something essential to the photo. I will send the photo to photoshop, increase the canvas size and use content aware to fill in the extra canvas and then crop to the size I need.
