What to crop to get the right 5x7 or other sizes.

[pvong]

I use a Canon Rebel XT with Canon EF-S 17-85/4-5.6 IS USM lens.

I know with a digital camera, the sizes are a little screwy. When I do a 4x6, everything looks fine. When I do a 5x7, things get cut off. Can someone tell me what I need to do to my pictures in PSE4 to see what a 5x7 will look like.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ...

If you want to print out at 5 x 7 then you will need to crop your image ... select the crop tool then look up at the top of the screen and you will see "Aspect Ratio" ... just change that to 5 x 7. Then drag out the crop tool as far as you can, if you now move the cursor into the centre of the crop area you will be able to move the crop area around until you find the best postion to use the crop ..

Hope this helps :)
