Problem or error

Correct answer Greg_S.

I still may not fully understand the problem. As I understand it, you want to print an image at its original resolution and it will exceed the size of the paper you want to print it on. So, for example, if you have a 600x400 pixel image and want to print it at 100 pixels per inch, it would fill a 6x4 inch paper size. However, if the original image is 800x600 pixels with the same resolution of 100 ppi, only a portion of the image will be printed on the 6x4 inch paper.

If I have correctly described the problem, you could crop the original image to the size of the paper you want to use by setting the size of the crop to the size of the paper and maintaining the original resolution. This gives you full control over which part of the image will be printed. My example is illustrated in the following screenshot:

Is your question about the File>Place command? I don't often use that method, but I believe that a resize depends on the relative sizes of the the target image and the placed image. The placed image will only be resized if it is larger than the target image. It will be resized to fit within the canvas area, Can you explain why you find this to be a problem and we may be able to offer some suggestions.

First, Greg S, my most abject apologies for neither immediately acknowledging nor answering your response to my request for help. Life just sometimes and unexpectedly gets so in the way and I am only this week able to return to this project.

Hopefully you are still on this community site and forgive my tardiness.

I am beginning with a larger image and placing it onto a smaller target image - I want the placed image to retain its size.

I need to print at the original size on a smaller piece of paper.

I realise that an area/s of the placed image will not be printed. I am ok with that.
