[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3306265, member: 56859"]Looks like Pixlr has introduced a new version but the old version is still there. I don't know which version you are using but will give some general information which may or may not be helpful. I'm going to use the newer version of Pixlr Editor when going through these answers. Crop the raw image to that size. In Pixlr, choose the crop icon and then select the aspect-- in this case, 5x7. If you want 7x5, click the 5x7 again and it flips it to the other orientation. Brackets will appear over your photo. Click and drag the brackets to crop the image. You can also move the image to recenter it. Click Okay when you're happy with it. As for printing, 1. The maximum resolution of your printer. Hopefully it is at least 300 dpi (dots per inch-- dots = pixels on your picture). That's what the table you posted is showing. For a 5" x 7" print, your image should be (5 x 300 pixels) x (7 x 300 pixels), which is 1500 x 2100. 2. If the native resolution of your image was less than that, simply resizing the image to a larger number of pixels isn't going to help. The printed image will be larger but not as sharp as it should be. 3. If you do need to resize the image (larger or smaller), be sure to click "constrain proportions". Change one of the dimensions to your desired number and the other dimension will be adjusted proportionally. 4. If your image is larger than 1500 x 2100 (but in the correct proportion), that's okay.
