When I make prints in Photoshop I normally go to Image, Image Size and then change the Width and Length to fit the size of my photo paper (4 X 6, or 5 X
7). Because the proportion of my images are different then the photo paper,
the full image does not use all of the photo paper (it uses all of the width OR all of the length but NOT all of the width and all of length). When I take photos, I normally leave lots of extra space around the subject matter anyway as I did when taking 35 mm film photos. I knew that the developer would use all of the photo paper resulting in cropping off some of the width or length from the negative image. How can I do the same thing….using ALL of the photo paper (which I know will consequently result in a cropping of the length or width from the original image)? Thanks for any suggestions.

First, you need a printer that does borderless (unless you meant "all the paper except the border")

If the aspect ratio is not right, then you need to crop!! For example, the first thing I normally do is set the crop dimensions to the desired print size and printing PPI (normally 300), and crop the picture. Then do all the other processing steps.

Print with Windows XP and choose "Full page photo print, cropped and rotated to fit."

You use Image->Image Size and set the size of the smallest dimension of the image to match the paper size.

Let us say you are working on a 3 inch by 3 inch square image. What you are doing right now is you are using Image Size to make the image 5 inches wide, and it will be 5 inches high. So it will not fill 7 inch paper.

Instead, use Image Size and make the image 7 inches high and 7 inches wide. Now it will fill the paper.
