I do know my around Photoshop, but unless I am being blond, this one has left me puzzled.

Import an image in to CS5
Make adjustments as required
Resize image to 27.7 x Cm
Duplicate image and add layer style - outer stroke ( to give fine black line around image)
Extend canvas size to 29.7 x Cm (standard A4 size)
Now come the puzzle, set up everthing for printing, A4 paper selected, when I press the print button, I get a message saying the image is to large and will be cropped? I have in the print set up ticked - scale to fit
It may be simple, if it is I am missing something.

Any ideas any one.

Do you have borderless printing turned on in the printer driver?

I acquired an expensive camera so I can hang out in forums, annoy wedding photographers during formals and look down on P&S users... all the while telling people it's the photographer, not the camera.

I've seen this w/Pshop CS5 and my Epson and sorry to say I don't have a great fix. The only way I got around it while trying to get my portfolio printed was not to "scale to fit" but empirically determine the absolute max size I could print to achieve borderless prints (at least on 2 sides) and not get the "photo will be cropped" warning in CS5. I'd be curious to hear what others have to say abut this because the warning is real....you will lose some of your photo in print.

Rayk, I seem to remember a similar problem with PS a few year back. It arose from having your document size set in CM, but resolution set in DPI(inches). I thought it had been corrected with later versions, but you might check your settings and see if that is your problem.

Color? It's all relative...

I will try a print tomorrow night and let you know.

The problem does not happen if I set the image to borderless and set scale to fit media.

Might be me, but it does not seem right, so on sunday at Focus, I will call on to the Adobe stand and ask the question.
