Have a chance to sell a photo. Someone would like an 8X10 and a 20X30 of the attached photo. However, when I try to have it processed part of the photo is cropped out. They do not like that. Is there any way I can have this photo printed in the sizes they want without dropping out part of the photo?

Thanks

You have to somehow selling them not the same photo but they don't know.

I do not think so. You could check with your printing technician to try to figure out other sizes. I do not believe that this panorama type format will allow for the enlargements they want.
If you cropped from the original that is where the problem resides.

No. The aspect ratio of the photo is not 4/5 or 2/3 so there’s no way to print those exact sizes without altering the picture. The problem isn’t you or the photo — it’s your recipient refusing to understand math. You can print it maximum width on either size paper and cut off the extra white space and mat accordingly.

The short answer is 'No.'

Becayse the original photo's aspect ratio (AR) seems to be about 16:9 and the print you want is 4:5 AR.

You either alter the image by cropping or 'squishing' it.

Or, you put the 16:9 AR image on a 4:5 AR page.

Well, door #3 would be to photograph the scene again at a 4:5 AR.

Stretch/shrink but it won't look right. The aspect ratio will not accommodate those sizes.
Photo = .588 AR
8x10 = .8 AR
20x30 = .666 AR

Printed to 19.8x30 is the closest.
Printed to 6.66x10 or (would be full frame). As would 8x13.6
All would need a custom matte.

Beautiful photo, by the way.

Why can't you print the photo at 30" wide and then "scissors" off the extra unprinted portion at the top and/or bottom of the image?

My local printer would print it full-frame for you. Your customer has to accept the aspect ratio or do some trimming.

I have one photo that is in somewhat of a demand situation, and that is exactly what I have to do. I have found no other alternative.

I tried something to see if it would work and it did even on this very small size jpg. I had to try before I suggested something so you understand why In downloaded it. If you have Photoshop open the original image, change the width of the image to 10 inches making sure the image resolution is set to 300 pixels, enter. Then unlock the Background layer, now Image>Canvas size and change canvas size to 8 inches in hight, enter. You now will see unfilled areas on top and bottom. Grab the rectangular marque tool and highlight the top unfilled area while overlapping 1/3 of the sky. Now go Edit>Fill>Content Aware> Ok and I think the sky fill will work. Do the same steps for the water. Keep your signature out of the marque selection area. I think this will work for you. You will have more sky and water but the middle area will not be distorted. Save with new name.

Start over with your original picture for the 20 x 30. Do the same thing but you won't have to add as much sky and water.

If you don't have Photoshop and would like me to do this for you PM me and I will do it for you as it only take a few minutes to do.

Would love for you to try it. I don't do photoshop.

I use Adorama mostly for printing. They have an option to print images normally, if it’s the correct ratio, cropped, or, as in your case the complete image but you’ll have large unprinted/white areas top and bottom.

Sorry, I forgot the term but I think if you click on some of the choices you’ll find out.

Here is an example of the photo "squished" into an 8x10 size. It's not too bad in itself but, compared to the original, it looks squished.
