Photoshop Elements: Brush Tool Is Missing
The aspect ration of photographs made with a digital SLR camera is 1.5 to 1.
That is, the horizontal dimension is 1.5 times the vertical dimension.
If the aspect ration pf the photography paper isn't 1.5 to 1, then a portion of the photograph will be cropped.
Your photographs will fit on . . .
| 1.5:1 Aspect Ratio | Other Aspect Ratios |
| 4" x 6" | 5" x 7" |
| 8" x 12" | 8" x 10" |
| 20" x 30" | 16" x 20" |
However, there's no cropping if you print the photograph full-frame.
But, you may need to trim the two white borders on the top and bottom.
For example, a photograph made with a digital SLR will be 9.31" x 14" if printed full-frame on 11" x 14" paper.
The image will fill up the photo paper from left to right, with borders at the top and bottom.
If you're working with a lab, in person, just ask for a full-frame print.
If you're using an online lab, increase the canvas size.
1) Go to Image > Resize > Image Size.
Change the height to 9.31" for a 9.31" x 14" print size.
2) Go to Image > Resize > Canvas Size.
Make the canvas size 11" x 14."
Make sure the Canvas extension color is white.
Here's a preview of your uncropped print.
