LR 2 Printing to File ???'s!!

[motox424]

Can someone please help me When I'm tryiing to save to file in LR2, I end up with this page outline around my image. I am ONLY trying to save the image with the black frame. I've been messing around for the last 4 hrs trying to figure this out, even watched a few tutorials on Adobe and still can't get it right I did one time and can not remember what or how I did it

Here's an example of what i'm trying NOT to have it look like, I just want the image with the balck frame, when I export it, it works except that I don't get the frame or the text??



Thanks

How are you "saving to file" in LR2?

If the image is open, or selected in the filmstrip on the bottom, I use "File - Export" (Shift-Ctrl-E). A dialog will open and you can set options in there fro what and how to "export" the file, which is actually saving a copy.

You might be using the Print Module, adding a border, and then "printing to a JPG file". If so, that will add the white paper similar to what you have here....

Yes this is how I'm trying to save it. Is there any way to get the3 frame and text the way you described?

Not sure if the 3 in the quoted text is suppose to be there, but if you just want a black border around the image and no white, it could get tricky. You might want to save a "User Template".

Add your border as you were doing. Make sure your "paper margins" are all set to ZERO (Layout section of Print Module). The "Cell Size" (also in Layout) needs to be the same size as the "paper" that you can specify towards the bottom of the right side panel. The paper size should be the same ratio as the image is. And if you get something like you have above, reverse the numbers so it is landscape instead of portrait....

Thanks Mr P! The 3 was a fat finger typo After all your suggestions, it was rather simple

here is how to do it for nyone else that might be checking this thread out

Under the Print Module do the following:

Click Picture Package
Check the Zoom To Fill box
Check the Inner Strokebox & apply the thickness
Make sure the print to JPEG is selected
Check the box for Custom File Dimensions
Then just drag the borders around to eliminate the white
Click PRINT and save to your file of choice and then re-size if necessary

I sure hope this makes sense Here is the style of PictureI was attempting to obtain and finally got it:
