| iPhoto's second printing style prints each selected photo at the largest size that will fit on a piece of paper (Figure 6.4). Figure 6.4. iPhoto's Full Page style prints a single photo at the largest size that will fit on a piece of paper.
Uses for full-page prints:Anything you want to print as large as possible but don't mind if it doesn't match standard aspect ratios. Prints on unusually sized perforated paper or roll paper; make sure to choose the proper paper size from the Paper pop-up menu before printing.
Tips | Select the Zoom and Crop checkbox to have iPhoto zoom into and crop your photo appropriately so it matches the aspect ratio of the printable area. Otherwise, if a photo's aspect ratio does not match that of your paper, iPhoto shrinks the photo proportionally to make it fit, which increases the white borders. Don't assume iPhoto can print to your printer's minimum margins. Test a few full-page prints in economy mode first to learn what will come out. Don't bother entering your printer's minimum margins to get the smallest possible margins; any number (including 0.00) lower than the printer's minimum margins results in a printout that uses as much of the paper as possible. If you see a yellow warning icon in the Print dialog, try increasing your margins. The Paper menu in iPhoto's Print dialog matches the Paper Size pop-up menu in the Page Setup dialog, which is how you had to set paper size in previous versions of iPhoto (Figure 6.5). Figure 6.5. To print on 4" x 6" paper, you must first select the appropriate paper size either from the Paper menu in the Print dialog or in the Page Setup dialog.
