This will probably seem like a really dumb question, but I'd appreciate any advice. I take digital pics on a 4mp camera at full resolution (2200 x 1700 pix approx). When I come to print on my Epson 830 I always print the whole image and specify "fit to page", on the assumption that printing at full size will give me a better quality print.
My question though is, is this really true. For example if I print as per the above onto 11 x 8 paper, is that going to give me a better print than if I resized the image to 11 x 8 first, and then printed that? I guess that at some point some information in the picture is discarded but does it make a difference whether it is the printer that does it, or the image editing software, as per my outline above.
Thanks in advance,
Tony
