I'm looking forward to letting them know Yes, they are sRGB.

Great news! I'm so glad! Thank you so much! The prints were too dark and some of them looked really flat. Luckily, the flat looking ones I've printed before, so I definitely know that the file is fine.

Hello, I recently had a print order come back crappy. The printer gave me their monitor calibration settings and recommendations, but I've had trouble with the results from this printer before and believe the issue is on their end. Since I believe my settings are working fine, I don't want to change them, but I'm not sure what the best settings are either. I calibrate with a Spyder and have had no other issues with prints. Many of the images printed were edited prior to other successful print orders. This all leads me to believe it's a problem on the printer's end. But, do I have my settings wrong? Thank you for your help. (Please see the attached file.)

I was referring to the Cropping Tutorial, but I see now that the section on Cropping & Resizing fits what you described. I wasn't thinking about it in that way. It probably didn't help that it was 2:30am here at the time Thank you for helping to get me on track. I think I've definitely got it now

Well, as you said, I've just gotten different info from a lot of different places, and it's hard to sort out who's right. I really trust what you have to say. I can tell you've done a lot of work to find the best methods. Now, you just said I could enter the lab requirement in the resolution box, but the tutorial says to leave it blank. So, it is okay to input a value if you need it? Is that what you mean? I did read all those links before And, yes, I hope to change my life someday soon!

Sorry, I read so much, I probably confused the difference between cropping for web and for print I guess my main printer actually says it doesn't matter! So, I guess I'm good to go then Thanks for your help!!!

Size & Resolution Okay, so I put the values in there, and it worked! So why didn't it work from the toolbar??? And, then, I am pretty sure I read that the resolution doesn't matter but that some printers do require 300, so is there a second step where I need to adjust?

I do have that dropdown

Hello, I've edited my photo and need to resize to print 11x14. I used the crop tool, but am not ending up with 11x14. I have two images and both are coming up 10.56x13.44 (resolution 300). Is this correct? I get that it's close, but it's not what I put in, so I'm confused. I do not have a resolution box as shown on Damien's file. (I have CS6.) Looking through all the cropping questions on the forum, it looks like I should have Scale Styles, Constrain Proportions, and Resample Image boxes all checked, is that correct? And, I have Bicubic Automatic listed. I think I've read all the info available here on this topic. Sorry that I'm still confused.
