Re: print not sizing properly

2012-03-22 by Paul

Thank you, Roy,

Well now, that is interesting... I never would have guessed that! 

I had reduced the original JPG using a handy little piece of freeware called FastStone. Based on your comments, I used PhotoShop to reduce the original and it printed just fine.

Easy solution!

I appreciate your program, by the way. And I am a registered user!

Best,

Paul
