Hitting the Tab key clears that, and menu Settings - Settings changes image launch to be Window mode. It does like to start images in full screen mode (without menus), which is good for viewing images, but working on images needs menus. For deeper work, it has standard necessary tools like a Levels histogram. It is a decent editor, certainly plenty for this procedure which is pretty easy to do. If you have no tools yet, then just to mention one in the Free category is:įaststone Image Viewer is free for home and educational use. Please realize that an easy "Crop to fit paper shape", and then a simple resample calculation (a calculator in the resample portion below) is all you need to know to print photos.Ĭropping to print shape is a popular option, but not a universal feature in every program. ALWAYS keep and preserve the archive of the original image, you may need to go back some day for some new plan. Then SECOND, resample that image to the smaller desired SIZE to print or view on monitor.īut save this edited image to a new file name. But if filling the print paper, it is very necessary to fit the paper.įor printing, FIRST, crop as desired to both fit specific paper SHAPE if important, while also adjusting crop size to improve artistic composition, meaning specifically adjust location of the crop box to its best location (keep important detail, and crop only unimportant). Or printing a smaller image on larger paper or viewing on a video screen is possibly not a shape issue. We may not print the image on paper, in which case its shape may be more arbitrary. It is a small and hard-to-see difference (maybe a geeky thing), however the photo editor can do this resample better, after it has all the larger data. Any other value is approximate resampling, not actual sampling.
The reason is that the scanner hardware (the sensor pixels and the carriage stepping motor) can only do certain steps, only those specified standard values offered in the menu.
If preparing a scanned image, a common procedure that the meticulous use instead of scanning at a precise non-standard scan resolution (like maybe 328 dpi) is (if a standard menu resolution is not sufficient) is to intentionally scan a little larger by using the next larger standard scanner resolution menu choice. Most camera images are usually originally too large to use (but which does allow many possibilities). Scaling - Changing only the dpi number to cause the same shape to print a different size on paper (still seen the same size on a monitor screen).Resampling - Keep all image areas and shape, but change the size of the image (pixel dimensions).Aspect Ratio - Aspect Ratio is how Shape is described.Cropping - Trimming away image areas, often to improve composition, but is usually required for printing, to crop the shape of the image to match the print paper shape.
