I am attempting to fit as many prints onto an A4 sheet as possble and am puzzled by the following result.

I have cropped a photograph so that it shows the following dimensions when viewed on the monitor 4 x 5.5 inches

I then select NEW and bring up an A.4 blank page ( this is in PS 7 )

Using CTRL + A,C& D and then with the blank A4 image selected , CTRL+V the image which is now transferred to the A4 image has changed its dimensions to 5 x 7 inches !!

Why has this change of size happened after these operations ?

Because the resolution of the original image is higher than the resolution of the new A4 image.

Why don’t you use the "Picture Package" function in the "Automate" menu?

Thanks- I’ll have a look at that – I didn’t notice it before.

However , I would still like to know why the dimensions change after the operation I previously described as a matter of curiosity .

regards,

I answered that in a seperate message. Most likely, the resolution of the original image is higher than the resolution of the new A4 size image.

this is not an answer…but rather a work around. rather than mess with all the photoshop settings…i sometimes just insert my photo into quark, pagemaker or even powerpoint and resize there for printing. Thats is just a quick fix in case you or whoever is lazy and doesnt want to really understand the program.

But if you want to really understand….look under image/image size…and take off constrain image size….

Are you referring here to the previous responders suggestion to use "Picture Package"?

Is that what you mean by a " work around " and " not an answer " ?

rather than mess with all
the photoshop settings…i sometimes just insert my photo into quark, pagemaker or even powerpoint and resize there for printing. Thats is just a quick fix in case you or whoever is lazy and doesnt want to really understand the program.

I would really like understand the program – hence my original question.
But if you want to really understand….look under image/image size…and take off constrain image size….

I think I have worked out most of the problem in that I didn’t notice that the A4 page had a different resolution to the photo image !!

Thanks for the help everyone .
