You can use the crop tool in the LR develop module and set it at the desired aspect ratio before export, or you can use whatever tools Costco may provide to adjust your image inside the desired aspect ratio.

If you are confined to an 11x14 frame you must either remove part of the long side of the image or add to the narrow side of the image to get there. I cannot find a way to add empty space to the narrow side in LR. You can easily add canvas (mat), or distort the image in Photoshop, but I don't believe it possible in LR.

If you don't want to distort, mat, or crop, and you're not confined to the 11x14 frame, maybe the 12x18 is a better option.

Thanks Rick! Makes complete sense. I had to go with the 12x18.

Ok,yes,you can change the aspect ratio but you will end up with short fat trees or a stretch limo. Instead, you need to change "canvas size" to conform to a standard print size.

I crop my photos as 8x10" (4x5" ) to conform to USA paper and standard mats. However, wanted to send 4x6" drugstore prints to my sisters. OOPS, the drugstore would auto crop to fill the 6" side and cropped the 4x1.2= 4.8" to 4" losing 0.8" inches of my photo!! NO thank you. With 200 to customize, individual change was too time consuming... batch processing was the solution.

To solve the problem (excellent and free) Faststone.org "resize" allowed my to in one click change the batch canvas size to 4x6". The 1/2" could be at each end or could be as 1" at one end. I could leave as white/color or add a logo or comment or what ever. Of course the program will do individual photos as well as batch.

In a similar way you can fit your your photos into a standard only format and the computerized process will not crop. I advise not to battle with a one program dose all like PS or LR, use a dedicated program that knows it's specialty stuff like Faststone Resize.

You don't change the aspect ratio when exporting, you change it in the develop module when cropping. You must crop to that aspect ratio. After that, you export as a jpg but keep it at 360 ppi in Image Sizing dialog and keep the Quality at 100 in File Settings. You should be good to go.

If you don't have room to crop a little off the long edge of you image, then from now on you really need to leave more room when framing your shot in camera. In fact, it's always a good idea to leave room. Of course, this may not be possible if using a prime lens unless you back up and sometimes this can't be don't when there is action to be had.

Thank you. You helped so much...again. I made the adjustments and ended up at 12x18. I've always 'fill my frame'. I totally understand why it's a good idea to leave room. I hope you are well!

It appears you didn't actually export the image with a side ratio equivalent to 11x14, but at 4x6 ratio. That's why Costco shows the 4x6, 8x12, 12x18 and 20x30 sizes as not requiring a crop for format.


Thanks how do I adjust this week n LR? I don't see it as an option. I'm finding this exporting process a bit confusing.

I'm trying to print an image through Costco and the 'crop indicator' icon is letting me know my image needs to be cropped at the selected size. I exported the image from lightroom at 11x14 and that's the size I want to print but am unable to do so unless I crop.

I can print a couple of smaller sizes and larger without cropping. How do I print the 11x14 without cropping?

Thanks.

There is your problem..... If it is turning grey it may be because you are taking it to the bar way too often. Your computer may be starting to develop liver problems.
It may be time for a defragging intervention.

:mrgreen:


Haha! You make a valid point. Both my laptop and I are Irish and enjoy the genius pub...I mean bar.

So funny, first time I heard someone who wanted to take their computer to the shop because it is working!


That's so funny! You're right that's how I responded! I left out the part about having other performance issues. :lol:

Are you using a laptop an iMac? You might want to go to system preferences and see if your display preferences have been changed. I know that when I hook an external monitor to this MacBook if I don't reset the display profile the colors look off.


i'm using a macbook pro. The 'green' symbol just came on. So strange. I think I might need to go to the genius bar to have them take a look for me. Thanks for your help.

Did you recently upgrade to El Capitan?


I downloaded a security update on 11/1. But I don't believe I upgraded to El Capitan. How can I tell?

Hello.

I have had Color Munki Display on my Mac for about 3 years. When the profile is up to date a 'green' symbol appears on my monitor. When it needs updating it turns 'red'. Recently it is 'grey'. I've tried launching and re-running the process and even reinstalled the software. The symbol is still 'grey'.

Has anyone encountered this situation? How do I resolve?

Many thanks.
