Question re: prints from a digital image Hello, I have a question about creating prints from a digital image. I have a digital image that I want to have all of the picture area included when I send in for a 8X10 print. Isn't there companies that can print a full digital image w/o cropping? thx,

Your image has an Aspect Ratio of 2:3. The 8X10 print you seek has an Aspect Ratio of 4:5. Something's gotts give. You can ask for an 8X12 print. Kodak introduced Jumbo 4X6 prints to solve the Aspect Ratio Problem and allow 8X12s. Today, you can get 10X15s and 12X18s. Don't get hung up on the 8X10 size - but, if you are, there MUST be something cropped.

(You don't mean the company crops the top AND bottom, do you? Also, MPIX has lots of print size options you would probably be interested in.) If you print on your own printer, you have more control. So do you want the picture to be resized? This would make it so the print would be like 6.7 by 10. If this is what you want, you can always add white boarders to both sides of the picture until the on-screen ratio of the entire image is 8x10. Or do you want to stretch the short size to fill up all 8 inches? You can do this probably in photoshop or gimp, I know you can do it in Helicon Filter.

I do appreciate all the replies. For now, I did some modifications with Photoshop and used my home printer. Thanks!

Order 8X12 and you will not get any cropping. If you need 8X10. Make sure you do the cropping before you send it in, that way there will be no surprises. You can tell most image editing software to crop at an 8X10 ratio, then you can move around the crop so that nothing important is cut off.
