[QUOTE="hark, post: 249722, member: 13196"] I find this frustrating as well. Early last year I took a photo of my church then donated a mounted print for a silent auction. I wound up having an 11x14 print made elsewhere, but I had to compromise and crop some off the sides. It seems like there are only 3 usable options--do what you did and add fill content, settle for having something cropped out of the photo, or enlarge the canvas and create a border around the outside of the edges (which is definitely not something I'd prefer to do). Like you, I can only print up to 8.5 x 11 with my printer. There have been times when I've printed out the entire photo but wound up with white stripes on the long sides--simply because the photo won't conform to the size of the paper. I hate when that happens because it looks tacky. In today's world, it does seem that printing photos has declined compared to back before the digital age. Lots of people now want digital photos to load onto their devices. :( [/QUOTE]
