PRINTING A SMALLER PICTURE

[ANDREW]

I have Paint Shop Pro PHOTO XI. I want to shrink a photograph so when it's printed on a standard 6x4 print the picture only takes up a part of the print. Is this possible? If so, how do I go about it?
Many thanks

Yes. Go to the menu and select Image -> Resize.

In the resize dialog at the top you'll see an option for "Print Size" Here you can define a new size for the image that will fit within the 6x4 (but smaller) all you have to know is the exact size you want.

You may want to make sure your image is the correct ratio to print 4x6 before you resize. Click the crop tool and in the presets select 4x6 (horizontal or vertical depending on which way you want it printed) and crop to just the area you want printed. You may need to crop out some of your image since not every image is a 2:3 ratio. In fact most point and shoot cameras are a 3:4 ratio and will need to be cropped when ever printing a 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc....
