8R printing

[brandonb]

Anyway to preserv as much as possible from 3:2 images taken by DSLR to 8R printing ? As print out will be crop if using original file without any post processing in PS.

Why not save the trouble and print S8R instead, which is 3:2 ratio?

For some photo contest, they only accept 8R. Not S8R.

I believe most contests accept 8R or S8R.
Do read the rules & regulations again carefully. Some will show "...minimum size of 8R is accepted..." Which means S8R size is also accepted.

Too bad I already sent out the pic for contest. Spent 20++ for this experience. ;(

For an uncropped 8x10 Just go in photoshop and---

Image--> Image Size Set the largest dimension to 10.
Image--> Canvas Size then make the smallest dimension 8.

That will give you a white border, but wont crop. Otherwise just do 8x12 like suggested.

Oh yeah, did you forget to post your picture you submitted?
