There are four possible reasons for the problem. The first is compatibility -> IMHO, it comes up as the most readily acceptable excuse since every manufacturer would like to make things difficult to go third party. It is by no means conclusive as even using a EF24-70 f2.8 has given me the...

I was hypothesizing about this myself. Your observation will just about conclude it for me. Have you tried printing out a panorama digitally with a lab that came out right for you?

I know what you mean. The second test batch was sent to a Kodak Express. The output was really the worst of the lot so far. Don't mean to flame them...but for my purpose it just ended up so.

Alas, borders I can't live without...:bsmilie:

I think what you mean is what I speak about manual adjustments by the operator behind the machine. Yes, I think that would certainly help, except that a 1" border is kind of big ;) But I think you have an idea that I can work on. Thanks!

Ironically, that's exact how I sent in my order. I cropped the image to the exact size of 1200x3000pix at a resolution of 300 ppi, then PS in a white border. I even double checked all the images to make sure that the size is correct before sending them to the lab, and telling them to print as...

Tell me how difficult it is. I'll appreciate any comment from an obvious expert like yourself.

Thank you for the suggestion. I was going to do it again with some test prints and was hoping to get ideas of how to short-cut the process. Each print cost $4 (the cheapest I've found) and some even charge a processing fee of $3 (swear I won't go back to them again!) I understand if there...

Weird perhaps if one is not familiar with such print size, but not unusual for some who print panoramas, I think. I ask if they can do it. And they all say it's do-able. But they can't even get the borders in right.

The 4"x10" is the panoramic print size for APS format, while the 6"x6" is just a square print size that I wanted. What size do you print for panoramic and square prints? And how do you make sure the borders are right?

I've been disappointed by the results of the prints of the photos I've taken during a recent trip down south. Has anyone ever had problem getting a photo lab to print out 4"x10" or 6"x6" digital images with a white border? I've been to three labs and they all gave me three different...

Thanks for the replies....they were a great help! :) :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hi! I'm thinking of printing out some panoramic shots taken from a recent trip. Can anyone advise on what are the available sizes out there? I've found out that there is an APS size print which is 4"x12". But I thought I read somewhere else that there are actually several panoramic print...

Hi all, these are part of some 800+ pictures taken during a recent family visit to Perth. No post processing was done except to crop and include the borders and text.....hope you enjoy them. I've included some details of each shot in my member's gallery portion of the website; if you're...

Would anyone like to share how they convert their colour pictures to B&W with Photoshop Elements? :think: I'm looking at something which is able to detail better tonal quality than discarding colour in greyscale mode. Thanks!
