I have looked at smug mug but they don't have that size. I know it is unusual but that is what the current frame is for this picture (yes i am trying to talk them into getting a better frame).


Anyway can any one help me out.

TIA
Shelly

    Expand the canvas on the JPG to the next largest print size, order print, cut with scissors, frame.

    Expand the canvas by adding a white border in photoshop to make the overall dimensions the next size up for printing. Then trim the white parts off to get to your desired size.

    From the looks of it a 14x26 aspect ratio is going to significantly change the composition of the photo. If this is the original image then you don't have any options, but if this has been cropped you can go back and recrop the original with the new aspect ratio and hopefully save more of the composition. Your best option is to get a new frame and print it as is (4x6 ratio)

    What he said... At that aspect ratio, if you crop just at the bottom of the front tire, you cut off the very top of the spire on the building. If you crop from the top, right at the top of the spire, you can just barely get the whole truck in, but you lose part of the tire. I'd push hard for a better frame.

    You can also print in your current aspect ratio at a size smaller than the frame, and then have a custom mat made to hold the print in the frame.

    You could use a "museum" mat and allow an insert for a caption as well. That would work better in the frame I suspect.
