Need some help. I trying to print some 4 x 6 photos from photoshop to compare them against Easy-photoprint. When I attempt to print from photoshop I get a warning 'the image is larger than the paper's printable area; some clipping will occur'. How do I go about printing the full photo without the clipping?
thankz |

You'll have to scale the image to fit the paper. The software for your printer should allow you to do that.
Re-sizing is probably the best way though. Too much dpi can cause problems as well as too little.

| From the file dropdown select print with preview. Here you have more control over your printing including sizing the imaget to fit a paper size. Also never resize your image smaller to print always print from the full sized image you want to print. |

This is NOT a good idea if you're making a serious reduction in size; ppi resolutions dramatically greater than the printer's dpi capability can produce disitnctly odd results. I always make size-specific copies for each print size. Frequently I vary them in both sharpness and contrast.saturation for optimum results at a given viewing distance. I save them as "filename_print_4x6", "filename_print_13x17", whatever.

By my experience only, If you are printing on borderless paper, it will clip some. I use the cropping tool to resize normally. Make sure you leave a little room around for clipping.
I beat my head against a wall for days attempting to learn how to make it stop clipping but never figured a way. If your having trouble with a photo clipping something important you can crop differantly and have some control.

Ok, let me start over. What I'm trying to do is get the best print of my photos interms of color and contrast. I'm comparing photoshop cs against easy-photoprint. I kinda understand the photoshop should print my photos based on the color management I have set up in ps, and easy photoprint should base it on the it's own CM. Yes or No. basically What I want is what I see is what I get. My question is which one one will do that better?
And is it better to resize my photo in photoshop using image > image size... to print to the desired size I want or to just save it (in it's larger state) and print it using easy-photoprint?
Once again, thankz |

I'll give it a shot. I do not believe it makes a difference as long as whatever printing program you are using has all "enhancements" turned off, ie. don't let the print program remanipulate your photos for smoothing, sharpening and the like. Do what Robert says and make specific files for each print size at the DPI you want, adjust for that print in terms of sharpening and contrast, etc. Then print them using either program.
The key to what you see is what you get is calibrating the screen and having a printer profile specific for that task.
