A3 printing.

[calcium]

I'm trying to print a bike photo A3 size. I took it with my Canon 10D but when I look at the "preview" there's a slight border at the top and bottom, I thought that the image would be stored in a standard size so that you could re-size to A4 A5 etc, etc, I'm I doing something wrong or am I just being stupid ( won't be the first time )

Thanks for any help.

Standard image is a 2 to 3 ratio - standard for printing at the likes of 10" x 15".

A3 is 11.75" x 16.5", hence why a standard sized image won't print without borders at A3. Just need to resize slightly in photoshop or whatever you use.

Really? where are you based? I'm here in Lancaster but from north of the border...

I had 8x10 lines scored on my focusing screen by a company over here in the colonies. So as long as I keep the subject within those lines, I'll be able to print easily to standard computer photo paper sizes (or 'real' photo sizes from the lab). Definately makes things a whole lot easier...

I sent them my camera and in a couple of days i had the new screens in place... http://www.brightscreen.com/enter.html
