Hi - I am a bit of a newbie to this prog. And the issue I am having, is that I created a Magazine cover using my son's football pic. To make a long story short - I can create a fabulous 4x6, but when I try to send it out to blow up to an 8x10, it crops way too much of the cover... How do I save or edit the pic as an 8x10 so that I do not loose my added graphics and artwork? Please help!  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Jenn

Hello,

I know, this might be a little bit too much for someone new to the program, but one of the better ways to do it would be installing and using the liquid rescale-plugin (http://liquidrescale.wikidot.com/).
It will scale the image instead of cropping it, so there won't be anything cut or borders added in. But other than the normal scale-tool, it tries to detect important parts of the image (like faces or text) and keeps their proportion the same.
Feel free to email me if you decide to do it this way and need some help.
