    I'd use photoshop to resize the picture to the required inches. I believe it's under Canvas. Then drop the resolution to 300dpi since that'll top out most printers anyways.

    When you are resizing make sure BOTH edges are >= the dimensions. After this you will have to crop the rest to get exact.

    I see they sell a cutting tool. If you are using this, it may even help to print slightly larger than 1x1.375 so you have some wiggle room. I'd probably choose a 1/4 inch in both dimensions.

    One more thing. I thought they use a special translucent film for these. If not then you could fit about 12 of these on a 4x6 canvas and upload that to smugmug. Using smugmug you could just print the special 4x6 file for that really low cost.

    I wasn't suggesting that you buy the tool. I was just saying to oversize the images for wiggle room.

    12 on a 4x6 is cheaper than 30 on a 8x10. Unless you are getting a better deal on cutting an 8x10 vs 4x6, a 4x6 will be cheaper every time.
