I make bi-weekly full-page graphic jpeg collages to send to my family members who are all on computers. Each page is typically a composition of five to ten photos with 12 pt. text captions. But my mother-in-law, who has Presto, says it crunches each full-page image into a tiny picture that she discribes as about 4 by 5 inches, and is impossible to see or read. In your Presto Homepage, you show a Presto printing a full page graphic like the ones I send. Are there commands, codes, or a format change that will allow me to do what you show can be done? That illustration isn't an untrue come-on is it? Rob

Hi Rob,

Are you referring to the Image on the PrestoPlace homepage? The one in the Presto Newsstand graphic?

Dear RobD:

The full page images you see are Presto Styles (see my PrestoPlace blog on this subject). Today, attached JPEG photos are downsized to fit within the specified photo template on each style.

So, although your full 8.5 x 11 JPEG montages may be beautiful, they will be reduced to fit into a 4 x 6 (approx.) size on the different templates and there is no way to change that.

That said, we have an exciting announcement coming in a few days that will change this and give you a fantastic solution for what you are trying to accomplish. So sorry for the tease, but in a few days, take a look back on PrestoPlace for information about how you will be better able to accomplish what you are trying to do. I'm only hesitating to mention it here to ensure I get all the facts straight. We are committed to rolling out new features to the PrestoPlace community first, and you will indeed be the first to know.
