How do you "blow up" a picture as in making it fill up the whole page when you print it?

Question

My paper is a normal 8.5" by 11" sheet.
I'm trying to make a magazine cover for my social studies exit project, so I still need to write things on top of the picture.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Answer 1

First of all, your picture needs to be big enough and have enough pixel depth to print clearly when enlarged. You can check this by clicking on it to enlarge it onscreen or pulling the bottom right corner. If it's blurry when big, pick a different picture.

Now, open an image processing app like Adobe Photoshop or whatever you have.
- Open your picture under "File"
- Now somewhere under "Image size" you should be able to set in to the size and quality that you want
- Then find the "Text" tool (usually in a sidebar of tools), position it where you want and type in the text you want (you can also select font type, size and color)

If you don't have an image processing app, you can go to
www.lunapic.com and use theirs. You can browse and upload your pic, size it, and type on it. Then, download it to your computer for printing.

When you're ready to print, for whatever image processing application you're using, look at it through "Print Preview" to see how much of the page it will take up. Then after you tell it to print, check that the printing preference has your paper size and asks if you want border or borderless. "Borderless" will print all the way to the edges of the paper.

Good luck!!! =)

What program do you use? Most printers have the ' full screen' option in the preferences.
