How to change the Destination Paper Size in Lightroom Classic

[moneybaum]

How do I change the "Destination Paper Size " in Lightroom Classic ?

It is under the Print Settings Tab / Presets / Show Presets /Current / Paper Handling /Destination Paper Size : Scale to fit 4 x 6 inchs................ 

When I print and 8 x 10..... It shows up correctly on the screen preview. But when the print is done printing its only the size of 4 x 6 inch picture on 8.5 x 11 photo photo paper 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

What does all this mean? I cannot follow your description.

Please explain more what you are trying to achieve.

Are you printing to a local printer?

Are you printing "to a JPG"?

By "Presets" do you mean "Templates"?

Yes, I am printing to my Epson R3000 Printer.

OK, so the Presets in the Printer dialog only exist in this Printer dialog, so you can choose from these presets in the future when you open this Printer dialog.

BUT they are not Lightrom presets. To be 'saved' as Lightroom Template (Print Preset) you must save a Template.

AND (as you discovered) the Templates provided by Adobe (are mostly for 8.5x11 paper!)

Thus: If you Choose an Adobe Template after your Printer setup you effectively overwrite and change everything to the Adobe template (paper size included). The Adobe 6x4" template sets a 6x4 CELL on 8.5x11 PAPER.

My suggestion- NEVER use or select the default Adobe provided Templates- Create your own!

Set your Printer in the Setup dialog, set the Layout panels, SAVE a template. (In the 'User' template section).

Thank you.... With your suggestions I figured out where to change that. You are Correct......I will learn how to create my own templates...

Thanks Again:

Useful for me thanks, however when you hover over the + Template in Lightroom it actually calls it a "Create a new Preset", the dialog appears and it called a Template again.

Hi @Peter22086518p41i   Not sure what you mean by "called a Template again".

If you do Create a new Template Preset it is saved in a Group called 'User Templates' where you can recall it any time in the future, and use different photos.

Please explain more if we can give a better answer for you.

Hi Rob, It's simply the terminolgy on mouse over. It should be "Create new template". Only minor but hope it helps.
