From Basic Image -to- Printing Online


Recommended Posts

I would like to know what is the 'best work flow practice' to adopt for any average image or an image, which needs very little post production.

I want to take this so-called 'average image' and crop it to a finial print size of 12in x 8in.  Then I'd like to send it off to an online printer ( DS colour labs/photobox etc; etc;) in a jpeg format, & using/ indicating the same paper that they the online printers will print on & ideally… I would also like to include a 12mm White or Black border all around the finial average image.  I have watched some AP tutorials but nothing appears to cover what is the best practice from the very beginning right through to the end and, I'm not sure whether I should start off with a 12 x 8 canvas size or just the image itself.  Hopefully someone will be able to help as at the moment I cannot seem to get the correct sizing nor the information for the printing set up correctly.

Use the same technique listed here. Just adjust the sizes to suit you.

If you want a border, just make the image rectangle smaller all round and put a solid fill rectangle behind that.
