Working with digital images

[ken212]

  I have an Olympus c 770. I have noticed when I upload my pictures to my computer the size is fine. But than when I go to have the prints made at a lab or on line I seem to have some of the picture missing. Like with 4x6 prints part of the tops and bottoms are cut off. With 5x7 prints it seems I am missing parts from all four sides. When I tried to have an 8x10 print made both of the sides were cut off. I have used different labs. So what am I doing wrong to have this happen?

Hi Ken, you may want to take a look at the article on aspect ratio. Looking at the specs for your camera it appears that your native dimensions don't match the standard print sizes so they get cropped to fit.
