I'm designing a 3 foot x 4 foot banner   

I need the aspect ratio. The Banner company I use to print is telling me to crop it at 36x55 or 31x48. Adobe Creative Cloud will not allow me to use those inches when cropping. help please!

Creative Cloud is the desktop app you use to manage your Creative Cloud software. 

 

I suspect you're trying to use the wrong tools for such a large banner.  Adobe Express imposes a limit of 20 inches in either direction.  So that's not the right tool for this project.

 

Photoshop CC can handle large images. 

Step 1: Create a new document

Go to File > New (Ctrl + N) and enter the required height, width and resolution for your final project as directed by print professional.  See screenshot.

 

 

Step 2: Import your artwork.

Go to File > Place Embedded. 

Select image and hit OK.

Use the transform Tool (Ctrl + T), click & drag handles to resize image to fit your canvas.

 

Save file (Ctrl + S) as  Banner3x4.psd.

 

If your print professional wants another type of file, go to File > SaveAs or SaveCopy in whatever file type is recommended -- JPG, PNG, TIFF, etc...

 

Hope that helps.
