I recognize what's happening Mike, and it has to do with resizing and resolution. Earlier this morning I posted a step by step for someone else who had started out having trouble printing multiple pictures. Somewhere along the line we realized he had more preliminary work to do before he could even get to that point, so I did a "tutorial" that took him from downloading his images from the camera to the computer to printing two 5 X 7s. If you go to the thread below and look at my post #12, I think you'll pick up some clues on how to manage your digital images. The numbers I was working with in the other thread are different from the ones you'll be working with, but the concepts apply equally. You'll just want to increase your resolution numbers, because you're working with a 5mp camera, and his wasn't that large. Some of it is stuff you're probably already doing, but if you can make your way through it, I know you'll solve the problem of getting to the size you want. I, however, can't help you with the borderless printing of 4 X 6 images because I don't do any.

You'll really enjoy your S50. I'm jealous! I have the S30 but can't do an upgrade yet. :)

Come back to this thread if you've got more questions. That'll probably be easier than tagging on to the one above. Good luck!

Edit: I forgot to say that you will have to do a small amount of cropping. There isn't a camera made (I don't think) that captures an image with the same aspect ratio as our commonly used print sizes, and that's what was causing your distortion - you were trying to get something to become 4 X 6 or 5 X7 that just wasn't going to fit. You can usually minimize the amount of cropping, though, by manipulating the resolution of your image. Using my S30, I always have to take off roughly 1/2 an inch in height and just a teensy smidge in width (or maybe vice versa!) in order to get a perfect 4 X 6 at 330ppi.
