SUMMARY

The discussion centers on capturing and sending physical images that maintain specific dimensions (axb inches) for printing purposes. Users emphasize the importance of ensuring that images are sent in a format that preserves their actual size, avoiding digital file formats that may alter dimensions. Recommendations include using Microsoft Word or Visio to control image scaling and page size before printing. Participants also stress the necessity of confirming the required physical size and DPI with the recipient to ensure accurate printing.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of image dimensions (inches vs. pixels)
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Word or Visio for document formatting
  • Knowledge of DPI (dots per inch) and its impact on print quality
  • Basic skills in email and file management for sending images
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to format images in Microsoft Word for precise printing
  • Research best practices for maintaining image quality during resizing
  • Explore options for combining images into a PDF for physical printing
  • Understand the differences between various paper sizes (e.g., US Letter vs. Euro A4)
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for photographers, graphic designers, and anyone needing to send physical images that meet specific size requirements for printing, such as passport or visa applicants.

TL;DR
I have a small set of images , all of same size, axb. How can I take a pic where the images come out in the same size axb ?
I have a small set of images , all of same size, axb. How can I take a (Phone camera) pic where the images come out in the same size axb ? I just need to send the actual physical pics elsewhere, or at least I need to provide these pics statisfying several specs , including dimension- wise from the originals.

If you have them already then just send them intact or combine into a pdf and send them. You can email them to your email acct and then download to your phone for sending via messaging if thats what you want to do.

Thanks. Thing is they must be turned in as physical pics, satisfying size restriction, not as a file. Then they would have to be printed at the receiving end while preserving size restriction. Edit: Trying to save on cost of sending it to a remote place.

So you need to send pictures that will be printed at the final destination at actual 1:1 size.

You can paste the pictures into a Word document or Visio document where you can control the scaling and the printer page size. Just be careful that you don't size them for 8.5"x11" paper and have them printed at the far end on Euro size or legal size paper...

Surely you just resize them to the required size and send them to the recipient? The recipient should tell you the physical size they want them printed and the DPI they are using when printing.
