So I cropped an original image to what i want. But when i go to print it always shrinks it to what lightroom says it should be. I want to print the image as is regardless of image quality being weakened. How do I do this

      What do you mean when you say that it always shrinks it to what Lightroom says it should be?

      After I crop...i go to print...but the image is now only a portion of what it should be,,it' not showing me the whole image I cropped.i know this has to do with the size that will fit correctly..thats why lightroom won' add it because the image will be distorted...but I want to by pass that and print my cropped image in the size I want....regardless of how it will turn out.

      I'm guessing you're using Lightroom Classic or Lightroom CC 2015, rather than the all new Lightroom CC app?

      You might need to tell us a little more about what's happening. Is it cropping off some of the photo? Or what?  This is in the Print module?

      Pretty sure it's the classic. I bought it last.

      I took a photo..uploaded it to lightroom...cropped the image to my desire...then when I go to the print portion of lightroom the image it shows me is cut down...way down.

      I' guessing it's lightroom way of trying to keep the image quality.

      Make sense?  It' not letting me print my cut own cropped version fully... only lightroom version of my cropped.image..which is only a part of my cropped image.

      All I know is is Adobe Lightroom Photoshop versioon 6.0   Its the one time buy kind. I do not have the card I bought it on. Ive printed using lightroom many times.
