If you want to move beyond printer issue and get the work done, add .5” to the top margin in Photoshop. Then create custom “13x19 Centered” template (or whatever you choose to call it) for use in the future.

I was premature in writing that I would start a new post “Adobe Web and App Services”. I should have written it first and THEN replied to your comment regarding uploading Collections. As I was writing it I started to bury myself in words (as I am doing now), so I abandoned it. My reason for asking about jpeg file size in this thread was BECAUSE I am syncing Collections with Adobe’s web based Lightroom and Adobe Portfolio. I have, however, discovered the following. When syncing a Lightroom Collection with Adobe Portfolio, raw or dng files are automatically exported as jpegs during upload. I don’t have to concern myself with file size. When Lightroom Collections are synchronized with the web based Lightroom, they obviously remain as raw/dng. In my case, with my micro four thirds, 16 megapixel camera, the dng image is 4592 x 3488, a 15.1 MB file. Those images can be shared on the web. If downloaded, they are automatically exported to jpegs, 2048 x 1537, 868.3 KB in size. Not bad!

Correct. I have more to share about uploading Lightroom Collections, but I want to start a new thread, "Adobe Web Apps & Services."

Thanks for the link!

This question is not about exporting images for social media. It is about exporting images to provide to friends and family, who may send them to Shutterfly, Walgreens or such to get prints or make a booklet. Do you send them full burn jpegs? Uncropped, mine hover around 12 mb for 240 psi. The same image exported at 75% hovers around 3 mb.

Calculators are a good measure of technological advancement. In 1974 I received a TI SR-50 calculator. I thought I had died and gone to tech heaven. It cost $174.00.

Problem with photo.net is that it’s hard to detect an hyperlink in posts. I was about to duplicate your link. I missed that article in my NYT digital subscription. Thanks! The Times does an amazing job providing photojournalism stories on a weekly basis. Here’s another interesting article: The Two Artist Couples Who Helped Start American Modernism

Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents. Wikipedia

I sometimes worry about getting bitten by a snake or contracting poison ivy. I have spent time picking small stickers out of thick wool socks. Oh, and then there are the alligators at Brazos State Park in Ft. Bend County, TX!

There are ways to get around the rules if necessary, but I am not guilty of it. I do not want to see someone post numerous photos consecutively in one thread, less it become the “davidrosen” show, or somebody else’s show. On the other hand most of my photos are the result of what’s around me. And so, they may be similar in subject matter. There have been instances where I wanted to post an image but I already posted on in that thread, so I refrain from posting it. I love the rule that asks for thread titles to allow others to participate.

I'm thinking it was her dog to begin with. Notice the similar bags in her right hand.

Taking a walk this morning, I came upon the bag at the base of this rusted post. I thought, Someone left a poop bag on the sidewalk! At least it was in a bag. On my way back, a lady passed me walking her dog. I turned around to see that the bag at the foot of the post was gone! Is this a story that did not require an explaination for someone to understand this polyptych?

Still researching. According to a document I found on Epson website, they do not recommend setting output to grayscale on my P400 because the printer keeps the heads clean by using a small amount of each ink. Some of my cartridges are low on ink and that may be the cause of the slight color tonal range I experienced when printing a b&w image. I stumbled on the Piezography website which does have products for the P400 that would render it a pure b&w printer, but I cannot afford to designate a printer to only printing b&w images. I found this YouTube episode of Jose Rodriguez, a YouTube-based inkjet printer guru: Pure Monochrome Photo Printer Do we really need one?. It is a sixteen minute video definitely worth watching. It does not answer all my questions, but I have time and I also have www.photo.net!

Exactly. Why is it we never know the breadth or limitations of our equipment until AFTER the investment?

I could spend the rest of my life to achieve the correct printer settings for my prints. I am venturing into b&w. B&W screen images are great but it all starts to fall apart printing a 'hardcopy" of the photo. I have read several postings of special inks and modified printer cartridges, printers that take several black ink mixes and so on. I just have an Epson SuperColor P400 printer, an eight cartridge system which includes Matte Black and Photo Black. I made a print utilizing an ICC profile for the paper, print and Ink (SC400, OEM ink and Red River Polar Matte) by turning the driver "mode" off. I could see faint color in the output. HOWEVER, when I tweaked the printer driver, changing from color to grayscale, the output was pure b&w. The same ICC profile was utilized. Interestingly, when I did another test with the exact settings, but with a color photo, the photo printed in color! To retest the grayscale setting for the printer driver when printing a b&w image, I printed the b&w print with the Mode set to color and, sure enough, there was a little color in the output. Set back to grayscale and the print was true b&w. Go figure.
