How can I enlarge a closely cropped image so that it can be printed in standard print sizes. I have one photo, attached, that I would like to have printed as is, but when I send to the printers (Costco) and ask for an 8x10 they crop it severely. I use PSE 10 and tried to resize it, but can't seem to get that to work. I've resized the canvas and I get a larger print, but with a border. Is there a way to just 'expand' the image to a standard print size? BTW, my camera setting is 4x3, so I would expect the image produced would meet standard print sizes without cropping. Probably don't understand that part so your help would be appreciated on both concerns.

I tried the new Photo Shop content aware crop and it did this to your photo.

Because your camera takes pictures in a 4X3 ratio, your best bet in the future is to not make such tightly cropped images. Leave enough room so that you can crop to one of the three most common sizes -- 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10 -- and not lose the important stuff.

I think the original image is very wide. It's more like 16:10.

A ratio of 4/3 is also 16/12, so, yup, it's close!

What I meant is that of the popular camera format 5:4, 4:3, 3:2 the original image is wider than all of them.

Thanks LF, that's pretty close. Appreciate your trying to fix it and this may be the way I have to go with it.

Here is your image cropped at 4x5 ratio. At that ratio the photo would be the same height as the original but not as wide.

Bebu, unfortunately my camera doesn't have the 5:4 option, so I need to be more diligent with allowing more space for cropping. Thanks for your help.

You're right! As near as I can figure the image he uploaded first has a ratio of 8.15:5. That's a new one on me!

Thanks Gene for that info.

The border is unavoidable if you don't want distortion. And 4x3 is not a standard print size, but many labs will print that aspect - it would by 6x8 or 9x12.
