convert to frame sizes

21 years ago

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I can't find any info on it. I need a way to convert the large numbers you find on photo size into a frame size. Ink is too expensive to waste on just guessing. I have tried several photo softwares, but none of them give numbers like 5x7 or 4x6 etc.. so that I can put them in standard picture frames. I would appreciate any help you can give. :-) Lill

Lill,
I open the photo's in PSP7 I want to print, and use the print multiple images option which allows me to put as many as I want on a 8Â½ x 11 photo paper along with the sizing. (push & pull to size)
I usually put 4, 2, or one of equal size to fill the sheet. Otherwise you can arrange them according to the shape as some you take long and some widthwise. Make sense?

I leave my photo's the size they come out of the camera incase I decide to use only one image to fill the whole sheet. That way it prints sharper opposed to trying to make a smaller picture larger to fill the sheet.
For e-mailing or posting on the forums, I usually change & use 500 pixels for size.
I love PSP for working with images from my camera.

Thanks Urlee, I intend to buy PSP one of these days. I have used the trial version before and loved it.
In the meantime, I have found a site that has software that will convert to regular frame sizes. Thanks again for your reply!

Has anyone converted standing pic frames to hanging?

I first removed the easel then added two small eye hooks, suitable for the size frame. I used one of those brown felt things you attach to the bottom of chair legs(cut in half)and placed on each corner of the frame to keep it from sticking out from the wall. If there's too much distanace, use 2, one on top of another. ;o)

Anyone convert headboard/bed frame from full to queen?
Q
Comments (4)
Update: The frame arrived in 2 days. It looks very easy to install. Yeah! Boo. It is ONLY designed if if you have a headboard and footboard, not headboard only. It doesn't really say this on the website, just says "use your fullsize headboard and footboard" not that both are *required*. So, I will have to return it. They said the return shipping can be expensive, but they are only maybe a little more than an hour drive, so I will drive it back some time next week. Maybe I can find a new queen headboard while I'm there.

Converting Framed Cabinets to Frameless
Q
Comments (12)
Frameless cabinet boxes are constructed to maintain their shape without a frame on the front. That may involve thicker sides, corner blocking and/or having a more substantial back construction. Framed cabinets aren't likely to have been built this way. The construction relies on a front frame to keep them squared up. If your base cabinets have drawer banks, you might be able to cut away the frame pieces that go between the drawers and put in drawers that use that space to increase storage there a bit.

To convert or not to convert?

LOVE these. Thank you! I would love to do the accordion glass doors but that side faces the driveway and the fence starts further back. Also, I am in Alabama so from a heat and bug standpoint I would never have the doors open! The current windows look out on the front and the side part I need to close in looks out on the tree-filled land next to me (which is mine) across the driveway. But yes, my first thought was a wall of windows/doors but it's not realistic here. Thanks for your ideas everdebz!
