What’s the best way to get a digital photo to print out exactly the right size to fit a photo frame?

Thanks

Killa

I do it in word. Find out the measurements of the frame. Paste an image into word then right click on it then format object.

Click size then you can change the exact size of it pretty easily. Print out then cut out and it fits perfectly. Thumbs Up

Open the picture, press "CTRL R" and select the size you want (in cm if you like), then print!

As said earlier best to measure the frame first. I know one's I've tried that've said 6"x4" have been nothing like when I've printed a 6"x4" image. That is in the frames where you have the card insert. Either go smaller and create a border (but I find this a pain to line up evenly) or go slightly bigger and tape the picture to the back of the card insert. Obviously if you haven't got a card insert then just measure the glass size.

If you are running Windows XP then the photo printing wizard is normally pretty good IME. If you right click the image and click print and follow the wizard... fairly simple Smile

Hope That Helps.
