Process Cropping For the very first time I placed an order for prints with Snapfish. Most of my images had been edited by me more or less with Photoshop. There is a place at the end of the ordering process where they let you know how some images will be cropped (on the top and bottom). I didn't want mine cropped so I choose to have the photos printed to a slightly smaller size where the cropping would not be necessary. Well, I received my prints and found that some were cropped anyway, and, of course, the ones where it was detrimental to the image. I am not happy about this and sent an inquiry to their service staff, twice. No answer!! So, I wonder if anyone here can explain what I have to observe to not have this happen again. What is needed to get a, say 4x6 print, that will not have to be cropped by a processing service? Do I have to have a certain amount of pixels? A definitive image size? I prefer to crop my photos the way I like them, not the way the processing lab chooses to do them. Has anyone else had this experience?

To be honest, it usually depends on what type of memory card your camera uses. Many places such as department stores, pharmacies and many camera stores can usually process standard memory cards such as SD and CF cards (although in the case of "micro SD cards, you may need to provide your own adapter). In fact, many such places today have kiosks available for you to do it yourself. That said however, not all cameras use standard cards...many older Sony's for example use "Smart Cards", which most places consider outdated technology.

Without further information as the the camera make/model and/or what type of memory card you're trying to print from, my advice would be to simply copy your pictures from your camera to your computer and then burn them to a standard CD/DVD (or even a USB flash drive) and print from that. This would also have the advantage that it will allow you to make basic adjustments (cropping, color, contrast/levels, etc) to your images via software such as Photoshop, Elements, Coral, Gimp, etc...after all, if you're going to print your pictures, don't you want them to look as nice as possible? If you copy your images to your computer, you could even email them to one of the many online companies available (just Google "online photo printing" for a list) and have them mailed to your door.

Hope this helps!

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide background information on the cause of photo cropping or the cutting off of images when they are printed. Photo cropping occurs as a result of disproportional horizontal and vertical dimensions, or Aspect Ratio.
Understanding Aspect Ratio
Each image size has a different Aspect Ratio that is determined by the digital camera or other device used to capture the image. If the Aspect Ratio of the print size is equal to the Aspect Ratio of the image, no cropping of the image occurs. However, if the Aspect Ratio of the print size is not equal to the Aspect Ratio of the image, the image will be cropped until the Aspect Ratios are equal.
Examples of photo cropping caused by disproportionate Aspect Ratios
A digital image of 1280 x 960 DPI (resolution - dots per inch) has an Aspect Ratio of 4:3, which, unless cropped, will result in two sides having white borders on the printed 4 x 6-inch picture. Instead of leaving the white border, the printer will increase the size the the image, center it on the paper, and finally crop the image so that the image ratio is 3:2, the Aspect Ration of a 4 x 6-inch photos (see Figures 1-4).
Adjusting Aspect Ratio
When using a digital imaging program to eliminate unwanted sections of images, the Aspect Ratio will change. Many newer digital cameras offer a 3:2 resolution setting that creates a borderless 4 x 6-inch picture. Check the digital camera user's manual to see if this feature is supported. When using a digital imaging program such as Adobe Photoshop Elements software, images can be cropped to the desired size as long as the Aspect Ratio is correct. The software should provide pixel size information to better determine the appearance of the printed picture.
To convert an image to a 3:2 ratio, divide the smallest pixel number by two, multiply that number by three, and replace the larger pixel number, the width of the image, with this new number. This will determine the correct Aspect Ratio for a 4 x 6-inch picture.
Example
For an image with a ratio of 100:50, divide 50 by 2. The resulting number is 25. Multiply 25 by 3. The resulting number is 75. Replace 100 with the 75. The new desired Aspect Ratio for an uncropped 4 x 6-inch picture is 75:50. The image settings can now be modified to a ratio of 75:50 with a digital imaging program.

is there a editing function in your video download converter? if not, you can can not do this. here, i can recommend you a video converter, namely, Video Converter Ultimate. it can download videos from website as well as edit the video.
you can shorten your video by trimming the video.
you can also crop it, add watermarks and so on.

Hold "Fn" (left bottom of the key bord) press "End" (Actually print screen key) * pressing Fn means activate function keys.. Bye..

Many photo-editing programs such as Photoshop Elements can remove the date using a process called "cloning".

Exactly what kind of editing are you wanting to do in Photoshop?
When you first start the program and open the image file you can start editing any way you see fit, whether it is cropping your image, removing red-eye, resizing and adjusting colors and so on.

time and date are not superimposed on 2006 cameras and later. However it can be printed:

Solution
Current camera models (after 2006) do not have a superimpose function to display the time or date stamp on pictures. However, the time and date can be printed on images from a computer using Picture Motion Browser software. Additionally, if the camera is compatible with Canon® PictBridge™ technology, the time or date can be added to a picture by a printer that also has built-in PictBridge technology.
NOTE: When time and date stamp information is superimposed on an image file, it cannot be removed without editing or cropping the image. Therefore, the function to superimpose the time and date stamp was removed from newer-model cameras to prevent users from accidentally overlaying the information on images when the feature was inadvertently turned on.

ok i gave my phone for repair and had same problem. so i went onto the sony ecrisson site, downloaded the software update program onto my computer and followed the instructions. this has solved the problem.

hi,
you can try picasa-the free photo software by google to do all simple photo editing. after editing directly print the photo from the program(rather than transfering to sd card) as this will reduce chances of non-recognition by printer.
