photo printing question

Options
I need to know if there is a photo processing site out there that can print a 10 x 8 photo as I have taken it.

I know about aspect ratio, 4:3 etc, but if I use normal photo processing sites then it either chops the sides or the bottom of photographs.

Is there a site out there that can print photos as is, rather than that way?

Hoping for a positive reply and thanks in advance.

  • Last time I used Photobox it allowed that. You could upload photos in all sorts of strange ratios and there was an option to print them as received with white borders.

    Not quite what I hoped for, the shrink to fit produces a white border at the top and bottom. A shame that no photo printer that I know of can produce a picture that is exactly the size you want.

    Modern technology eh?

    Sorry, dont think I explained it correctly, I want a picture printing out the size 10 x 8 but with no borders caused by shrink to fit etc.

    You're having problems because it doesn't work that way.

    You picture will have a definite size so many pixels one way and so many the other and it isn't 10 x 8.

    Any change to the aspect ratio will distort the image so the other option is to choose an area in the image that will fit on a 10 x 8 and this is why you get the borders and/or bits chopped.

    If you want to print it exactly as taken then you need to get it printed on paper that matches the size of the image, whatever that might be.
