It is simple to crop any image to whatever size and then print it on paper to match that dimension. There's some overprinting to get the borderless setting correct.Īnyways, maybe someone else who has their Mac in front of them can correct any mistakes above.īefore questioning the abilities of computer software programmers, has it ever occurred to you that you may be at fault? At least with my HP, when I select borderless, the crop you see on screen isn't exactly what will print. I'm assuming that you're using a borderless printer. Just type in 4 for both the height and width. A new window will come up to allow you to choose the exact size you want. in this case, you'll be presented with: borderless, 3x5, 2x3, custom, etc. In this new window, you should see several drop-down menus in the bottom right corner. In the dialog box that appears, there should be a box for "Customize". If you crop your photos to a specific ratio (in this example, let's say you crop it as a square) prior to printing, it should go like this.ģ. I'm going on memory here, so I could have some of the details confused. The advantage is that the photo isn't edited, so if you use that photo in some other project, say a slide show or photo book, then those projects aren't affected.Īnyways, getting back to your original question, I would play around with the different settings in iPhoto and just have fun. If you don't crop it and choose the size from the Print Window, you still get a chance to 'move' the photo around within the print border, but the crop points aren't saved, so if you want to print that exact photo again, you're SOL. This way, every time you print that photo, it's going to be the same. The advantage of cropping prior to printing is that you can set the photo to crop out whatever you want. For example, you can't print a 5x7 photo if you're printing to 4圆 paper. If you don't crop your photos, you can constrain the print size to be whatever you want, but it has to be within the boundaries of the paper. Next, choose print and go through the settings for paper and such. iPhoto allows you to constrain the ratio to the typical ratios (i.e. I can't comment on the other apps since I dont' use them.Īnyway, the first thing you can do is to crop the photo to the specific shape you're looking for. All printers are a little different, so test the settings out before printing, perhaps on a regular sheet of paper.Īnyways, it's pretty easy to print whatever size photo you want using iPhoto (BTW, which version of iPhoto do you have? Apple keeps changing the print dialog boxes).
