If you add a border to an image by adding additional pixels, which are then cropped off before printing, you have NOT lost resolution.
If the original image was 1000 pixels wide, and you add an additional 30 pixels (6%) of border on each side (total new width 1060 pixels), your original image is still taking the same 1000 pixels. Loss of resolution is not an issue here. You may have an issue of a slight loss of quality if your original was a jpeg. When you open a jpeg image and make any changes (including adding a border) you will get some image degradation if you resave the file as a new jpeg. If you are providing the lab with tiff format, the additional jpeg generational loss is not an issue. -Michael Fryd >I seem to remember reading they cut off 6%. 6% does not seem very >much, but you >can sure miss it. >In the past I've shrunk my image 6% and create a canvas the full >size with the image in the middle.
