Pixels are the "dots " of color that when viewed in total resolve into an image that you can distinguish with your eyes The typical camera sensor has a sensor with pixels that might be describes like this Canon 5D with 4,368 × 2,912 pixels which has an aspect ratio of 3:2 (or dividing the width by the height = 1.5) A 4X6 sheet of photo paper also has the same aspect ratio of 1.5. So all of the pixels on the long edge will exactly fill the long edge os the paper and the same for the short edge. However if you use photo paper that is 8.5 X11, the that paper has an aspect ration of 1.294 and the full image will either leave white space for the dimension that does not fit or some of the pixels will get cut off and your image will be arbitrarily cropped by the printer to force it to fit. This is why I asked you to supply the Printer settings, Lightroom's cropped settings in pixels and LR's Print module settings that produced the photo that you referencedIt's a canon pixma pro 100. Well yea I realize that getting the settings right in both LR and the printer driver are necessary that's what I'm trying to figure out. Not sure what the pixels have to do with it and I'm not sure what they are at the moment. It's fine I have a guy on twitter that is good with this stuff maybe he will know
The Canon t2i also has a 3:2 aspect ratio (5184 x 3456 (17.9 MP, 3:2)) So, without cropping you can print on 4X6, 8X12, 16X24 paper. Any other paper will need the image to be cropped to fit the aspect ratio of the paper if you want borderless prints.Sorry just trying to figure this out quick and using all means necessary to find out cause I have a bday party and this is one of my gifts. I shot raw with a canon t2i not sure if that's helps. Don't have the pixel info in front of me. THANKS THOUGH
Cletus , Let me first start off with saying thanks for putting up with my lack of information. It looks like my problem may be a simple one. For some strange reason the 8 x 10 's I thought I ordered from red river are actually 8.5 by 11. I put a piece of canon photo paper 8 x 10 up to the image on my picture i printed and it matched. So either its a differnt style of paper RR uses but on thier box it speciffically says 8 x 10. I think I MAY have solved my easy problem
An 8x10 has a different aspect ratio from a 4X6 AND from the uncropped image from your Canon t2i. I find it highly unlikely that RedRiver sent you 8.5 X11 paper in a box labeled 8X10. I have 6 boxes of Red River papers in different sizes and finishes, None of them are mislabeled. And you can't stuff 8.5 X11 paper in a box labeled 8X10. The end of each box describes the size and finish.Nope , Still have a slight border. Im not sure what more info there is to provide. I have my print settings on 8 x 10 for everything.
Complying with my first and second request for information will help me help you more than anything.Im not sure what more info there is to provide. I have my print settings on 8 x 10 for everything.
Jim, I have the same printer and my experiences mirror yours. Which is why this thread has been so frustrating.I have the same Canon Pixma Pro-100, And I can consistently print what I expect as long as I get the print settings configured properly. ..
