Hi,

I'm new to the forum, but have been a smugger for years. I don't know where else to ask this or post this question.

for the third or fourth time, I've been asked by friends to produce images that are necklace locket sized... about 3/4 x 1" dimensions. I primarily use either lightroom or PSCs3. Is there a way for me to get prints this small printed by my heroes at smugmug?

my images are currently posted at photosbyles in my holidays folder and the gallery is Claire. I have sized the last 4 images in the gallery at 300x199 pixels or 1 inch on the long side.

thanks in advance, and i'll jump in and start reading what looks like a really great forum!

    Why not just create a 4x6 shaped file in photoshop and insert the locket sized image somewhere in the middle of that page. Save it as JPG and upload to smugmug. Then you can get a print of that and just cut out the picture from the 4x6. I realize it is a workaround, but I don't see many printing companies offering that small size of prints.

    You could even do 10 of them on a single 4x6 sheet and give to your friends.

    Here's what I've done in the past- order a 4x6 print of the image you want, and then use the tiny proof sheet image that comes with every order!
