Artworking & Cropping

If you request your print to be an exact size, the images you send may have to be adjusted if they’re not in the same proportion (ratio) as your requested print size.

We will take every care to work with your images in a sympathetic manor, if you’re worried about loosing content with a crop, or how we would artwork the image into your ideal print size, let us know and we will send you a preview image via email, you can see how we’ve adjusted your image to achieve your desired print size.

If you order a sheet sized print and require a border inside the sheet, your image maybe need adjusting to give you an even border around the image, if you ask us to only scale to the closest size, we’ll give you uneven borders around your image.

Extended Background Colour

Here is the original image, if an A3 print is requested, the image scales to 420 x 268mm.

To achieve an exact A3 print, we extend the background colour.

Content Aware Fills

Here is the original image, if an A3 print is requested, the image scales to 420 x 270mm.

Using Adobe Photoshop’s powerful content aware fills, we can extend the top and bottom of the image to achieve an exact A3 print.

Sympathetic Cropping

Here is the original image, if an A3 print is requested, the image scales to 420 x 282mm.

We crop approximately 5% of the right hand side of the image to give us the ratio needed for an A3 print.
