printing problem
At last I wanted to see my scrapbook layout on paper. So I resized it to 11 x 8.5 and saved it as jpg. When I try to print, it wants to print 8.5 x 8.5 or 11 x 11, it wants everything square I suppose. I chose print to fit on page and still came up with a 8.5 x 8.5 layout on a 8.5 x 11 paper. Help!! :mad:

Hi,

If you have a square scrapbook image, you won't be able to get it to fill an 8.5 x 11 page without distorting it. The largest you'll be able to print it is 8.5 x 8.5, if your printer prints to the edges of the paper.

If you want to print your pages at 8.5 x 11, start with that size canvas when making your scrapbook page.

Or to convert your existing design to an 8.5 x 11, start with a new blank 8.5 x 11 canvas and copy and arrange all your elements from the old square page to that new page. That's about your only choices, unless you have room to crop quite a bit of space on each side to make it the same ratio and shape as 8.5 x 11.

thank you so much for the information. Looks like it might be easier to work with square sizes; like 8x8 or 6x6 papers.
