16 x 20 prints mpix - 12-07-2007, 07:55 PM


I need some help I am in need of ordering a 16 x 20 print from Mpix, but when I try to order it there crop marks cut off the pic. I resised the pic in PS to 16 x 20 should I leave it alone and just use the crop marks MPix uses or is there a better way?

goin good i sell 16 x 24 or leave enough room to crop to 16 x 20, bad thing is i dont think there is much you can do to get a 16 x 20 unless you want to add white borders or a colored border or something

what DPI do you print yours at?
I am pretty sure the original file is big enough and has enough room to crop to 16 x 20

are you saying that you have uploaded a 16X20 but it still wants to crop it differently?

yes I cropped a print in lightroom to a 16 x 20 and saved it as a jpeg and when I uploaded it and selected a 16 x 20 print size it crops it smaller. any ideas as to why that would happen? unless I messed up the crop.

I was going to reply that I had the same problem on my last Mpix order. carrbowl posted this issue yesterday on another thread too. You can adjust the crop on each one individually, but I don't know why it's happening. It never used to do that. I may talk to Mpix too.
