Hi all:
I’m about ready to FINALLY get some of my many digital and scanned images printed.
I’ve noticed that if I use the crop tool and set the width and height to a size that I would get the image printed as (such as 4X6), that part of the image will be cut off.
I’ve also noticed that if I use the resizing option under Help, that I can’t select a size that I would want (the width or height is always off that what I want).
If I use the image sizing option under images, it lowers the picture quality (pixel count).
There has to be a way that I can get the whole image in the size (such as 4X6, 5X7, 8X10, etc) that I want, without affection the quality of the image as I mentioned above. I know that there probably will be some image distortion (stretching or shrinking) with this method.
The manual, Photoshop books and the program "help" isn’t giving me a clue if what I want is possible.
So is this possible, and if so, how?
I am running Photoshop 7.01 (on Windows XP). Cameras-Olympus D-40 and C-50. Scanned slide images.
Thanks for any suggestions.
