Fit in - cut /
Fit in - uncut / Fill in
The “Fit in - cut” setting will resize an image to fit within the bounds of the size selected without cropping.

example : a 6x7 ratio’s picture with “up to 20x30cm” will result in a 20x25cm print. The picture is not cropped.
The “Fit in - uncut” setting will resize an image to fit within the bounds of the size selected without cropping. The extra white borders are not cut out.

example : a 6x7 ratio’s picture with “up to 20x30cm” will result in a 20x25cm picture, within a 20x30cm print. The picture is not cropped.
The “Fill in” setting will expand an image to fill the size selected, which may result in some cropping depending on your image.

example : a 6x7 ratio’s picture with “up to 20x30cm” will result in a 20x30cm print. The picture is cropped.
Borders
The borders will be included inside the final print size selected.
The size of the border itself correspond to each side : “2cm borders” means each side of the picture will have 2cm of extra white.
If selecting “Fit in - uncut” with extra borders, the borders won’t be the same size on top/bottom and left/right, depending on the ratio of your picture.
Be careful, adding borders change the ratio of the picture : a 35mm print in “up to 20x30cm” will be :
- 20x30cm in “Fit in - cut” without borders
- 20x29cm in “Fit in - cut” with 1cm borders.
