It's Monday, and its rainy and dreary and there is nothing appealing about it at all. My morning has been full of cleaning, editing, and resizing for print.
Little word of advice...when you edit pictures in Photoshop, do not automatically recrop. Recrop when you are ready to size for prints. I researched my little but off and found on a Clickin Moms forum out that 11x15 (which has a 15in width and an 11in height has the best ratio for printing!! See you learn something new everyday! :)
The problem was that I cropped during my initial edit for my customer. And when they told me they wanted to purchase the digital downloads, (which is an awesome invention...you purchase, then pay, and they instantly download right to your computer!!) I realized that I would need to put them at a size that would be good for any kind of print they wanted! So, that is where the 11x15 came in. The problem was, when you set restrictions to that size (remember to set it at 300 ppi and to sharpen it a bit the picture was cropped in such an odd way, it didn't fit in the picture! This was what I got out that that...boy was I ready to give up! (It's been a stressful week!)
Original:
Cropped after editing:
Done the right way:
All three pictures look good, but for printing and framing purposes, the last one is the best! What do you think????
So here I am, on this dreary rainy Monday, re-editing all my pictures ready to pull out my hair! So to relax, recoup, and calm down a bit...I'm just gonna stop for a minute....
And go take some pictures! Be back soon! :)
