Printing Photos from a Commercial Lab

[murtyjr]

<p>When uploaded photos are selected for printing at Costco from a given list of size options, and when I select a size, I am forced to resize or crop the photos. If I do not want do either, what other options do I have when editing photos using Photoshop CC editor.</p>

<p>You could expand the canvas size in Photoshop to one of the stock Costco sizes and trim the prints when you get them back. You will find Canvas Size under the Image pull down menu in Photoshop CC.</p>

Some labs have the option of printing using a "Letter Box" option, which would print the photo without cropping,

but would result in a white border around your image if the aspect ratio of your photo was different than the

print size you ordered. So if you have an image cropped to a "4 x"5" aspect ratio and printed it on "4" x "6"

paper using the "Letter Box" option, the resulting photo would have white borders on the long ends of the print

but would not result in any additional cropping or re-sizing of your image. I always have this option set when I

send prints to AdoramaPix, and I know that other labs have a similar feature.
