I have a question about cropping pictures to standard picture/canvas sizes. I do paintings and want to make prints available. I took pictures of paintings with hi-res camera. The problem I have is cropping the image to match the size of the canvas or at least a proportionally smaller size, without messing ratio aspect. example- if canvas in picture is 16x20, how can I crop it so I can print it 16x20 in a 17x22 paper? If I have several different pics of different paintings, how do I crop so all print out the same size?
Hi Paul,
I don't understand your question -- but:
1. It's not possible to print multiple paintings at the same size unless you want to mess with the aspect ratio.2. I choose a paper size that is greater than the image in IMAGE > PAPER SIZE.3. I place the image in the upper right corner.4. After it's printed, I trim the paper (aka canvas) with a razor blade.Phil
Not these options (Top left hand corner)? See attached image (units were supposed to be mm no cm, thought I corrected it... anyway)
ALSO:
When you create a new document, it is useful to set your CorelDraw document size to 17 x 20 (cm or whatever unit).
But if you are changing the image size, then normally you would want to resize and resample first. Then crop.
And when you are printing, set correct page/canvas size.And on the print window, click "layout" and just double check "Print as is" is selected under the first option "Image position and size"
