When I make prints in Photoshop I normally go to Image, Image Size and then change the Width and Length to fit the size of my photo paper (4 X 6, or 5 X
7). Because the proportion of my images are different then the photo paper,
the full image does not use all of the photo paper (it uses all of the width OR all of the length but NOT all of the width and all of length). When I take photos, I normally leave lots of extra space around the subject matter anyway as I did when taking 35 mm film photos. I knew that the developer would use all of the photo paper resulting in cropping off some of the width or length from the negative image. How can I do the same thing….using ALL of the photo paper (which I know will consequently result in a cropping of the length or width from the original image)? Thanks for any suggestions.

I bring the image into PhotoShop and set up my printer for the paper I am using then I use the crop tool. Set the size of your paper in the tool bar for the crop tool. Do a File->Print with preview. The issue of using all the paper depends on the printer and paper, my printer is not borderless unless I’m using special papers with the tear off borders.

Unless you have a printer which allows full bleed (i.e. printing across the whole paper size) you can’t.
