No. It's not the ratio your camera takes pictures in most likely. So you have to crop some off. When taking photos, you have to be aware of the intended use, crop ratio, etc. and then compose the shot to allow a crop to work - 11x14 is pretty close to the same ratio as 8x10, though not quite. I always leave space to the sides or top/bottom depending on orientation when doing portrait work so that a standard 8x10 crop will work.

This works in Elements so I imagine it will also work with CS5: Ace Rimmer -- "What a guy!"

Next, drag any part of the crop box outside any border or corner of the image. (This two-step approach is necessary because you can't initially stretch a crop box beyond the image borders, but you can drag it outside once it is created.) Then enlarge the crop box to encompass all of the image plus some overlap beyond the image borders. Center the image within the crop box as desired. Select OK. That will add canvas to your image so that it now has a border. The border will be the color of your currently set background color. The resulting image will be the desired aspect ratio and you will not lose any of the original image. And you won't have an 11x14 image either. You'll have a smaller image with a border.

Are you worried about losing the rest of the image for purposes of printing? In this case there's not a lot you can do about it except by either re-sizing the image to the 11X14 ratio from its original 2X3 ratio (which will distort it), or doing what Rimmer suggested and cropping a larger area than your original image so you have the original image inside a larger 11X14 blank (or whatever color you want to fill with) background. Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

As long as you don't enter a value in the ppi field (in PS), or don't resize upon export in LR, you won't loose anything except the part you're cropping off. ![]() ![]() IMAGE LINK: https://skitch.com/renedamkot/nhi1r/photoshop ![]() ![]() IMAGE LINK: https://skitch.com/renedamkot/nhi1w/photoshop ![]() ![]() "I think the idea of art kills creativity" - Douglas Adams

Maybe it will help, although I think Rene did a good job. I cover the aspect ratio of your camera and what you loose if you print. Fast forward to 2:00 for the juicy stuff. 7D - - 17-55 F/2.8 - 24-105 F/4L - 100mm F/2.8 - 50mm F/1.8 - S95 / To see all click here
