Printing Zoomed to Center

[lhladek]

Hi all,

First of all, I apologize if this has been asked and answered over and over, but I'm quite new to PS and this forum and could not find exactly what I was looking for. I'm guessing it's a relatively easy fix.

I recently shot the eclipse from South Carolina and made a panoramic composite using Lightroom and PS. I realized my photo was gigantic because I stretched the canvas so much, so I (thought I) shrunk the thing down to a 8x24" poster. Now, however, when I try to print the photo, it only shows the center third or so of the picture. I cannot zoom out to fit the print area or create the panorama.

I hope this question makes sense and has enough info to provide an answer. Again I apologize if this has been mentioned before.

Thank you!

Here are the examples of what I'm talking about...

Zooming out does not change the size of the file (image dimensions), just the visual presentation on the monitor. You must change the file image to fit within  the paper size.

Right. I adjusted the size to be approx 8" x 24", but now when I go to print a poster (or even test from my printer) it zooms way into that area in the second picture. Not sure what I did wrong.
