Question
What happens if my file is the wrong size for printing?
Answer
When a file does not match the required dimensions, 4OVER4 gives you the call on how to handle it rather than deciding for you. There are two ways to make it fit, each with a tradeoff.
| Option | Result |
|---|---|
| Proportional reduce | Scaled to a smaller size that keeps the correct aspect ratio |
| Force-fit | Stretched to the exact size needed, which may distort the image |
The team presents both options and asks how you would like to proceed before making any change.
