not understanding cropping in LR

[Etrsi_645]

Hi,

I brought my DNG into develop module. I chose to crop to an 8x1' vertical print. Went back to grid view and chose to edit with LR adjustments in CS2. Upon soft proofing I did some levels to brighten the look; I saved the PSD file. I printed from Qimage. When I went to trim the actual print, I noticed it was smaller? than 8x1' size. In LR the DNG and PSD are side by side in grid view and both look identically cropped. I bring the DNG up in develop and it says the crop aspect ratio is 8x1'. When I bring the PSD into develop, I can't tell what ratio of crop there is, so I brought it in to CS2. Now here is the strange thing. The rulers and the info panel show a size of 9.125 x 11.4'4 inches which is a ratio of 8x1'. What all is happening here? I must have done something wrong somewhere, because I have cropped to 8x1' before with this work flow and did not have any print trimming problems.

thank you,

Cropping to a particular aspect ratio doesn't change the resolution. You'll need to change that in the Image Size or print dialog boxes. Edit in Photoshop sets the resolution at 24' ppi with the dimensions being whatever they work out to be at that resolution.

Do not mix 8x1' ratio with 8"x1'" size. For example, 9.125 x 11.4'4 is a size with a ration of 8x1'. Lightroom crop is only working with ratios.

As Canon said, you will have to set a resolution and that is done when exporting or adjusted with the program you edit with.

I printed from Qimage.

What version?
