rasterbation: n.
[portmanteau: raster + masturbation] The gratuitous use of computer-generated images and effects in movies and graphic art which would have been better without them. Especially employed as a term of abuse by Photoshop/GIMP users and graphic artists.
TIPS:
* Use a photo that looks good in black and white. If the colors are crucial to a photograph's value, don't bother because the rastered result will have no color.
* Measure your target area first. Then find out how many sheets of paper are needed to cover that area. Then upload and size the image. If you can not print to the edge, be sure to count a sheet as 8â x 10.5â and not 8.5â x 11â. It may not matter for a small image but when dealing with a final product that is 8 sheets wide, you will be off by about 4 inches, that could make a lot of extra work for you.
* You can easily and instantly toggle between size and crop modes. You should crop your image so that it takes up the largest amount of space possible in order to keep from having to trim the paper later and ending up with a strangely proportioned image.
* Unless you are trying to make it look like your photo's subject was on the far side of a French door, trim the margins before you hang the result. Look at the gallery. The images look good but the trimmed images look right.
