[karlwilson1986]

Hello
when i am printing my images on A4 from photoshop i am finding that it is chopping off the top even after i have clicked scale to fit is there a certain pixel size or something im supposed to do???

thanks

It's probably that the aspect ratio of a typical photo is 1.5:1 whereas A4 is 1.4:1 so if you fill the image on the narrow edge, it will have to crop on the long edge.

so how do i print it out perfect A4 size please?

thanks

You need to crop your pictures to a 1.414:1 aspect ratio

do a search for A4 sizes in mm.

Then open your image, select the crop tool, then custom the crop to the sizes in mm of A4, then drag your crop across the image (top left to bottom right) and you should have a cropped size of A4, then move the crop to suit your image and click the tick symbol and bob's your UNC.
