Re: photo problem

If you have a dslr the standard format is 3x2 so to get the full image you would need an 8x12 print so the 8x10 has 2" chopped off.

Same with a 7x5 print which is still a very common size, it should be 7x51/2 for the full image which again is 3x2 format.

Re: photo problem

yes Mick i use a nikon d40 dslr
instead of using their machine at jessops i shall ask to have it printed to 8x12
or 7x51/2, just printed it out on my picturemate 6x4, same result, i have to say, i see the difference in quality from the nikon as against the little point & shoots i had previously,,,, john

John, when you say you printed at ''6x4, same result'' do you mean part of the image is still missing or it's ok because at 6x4 you should have the full image.

Have you cropped or resized it then in Photoshop or similar?

Re: photo problem

There's your answer then.

You have cropped it at a different ratio equal to 8x10.

Are you using Photoshop?
