the picture isn’t being stretched in either direction to fit the paper. it’s simply making one side measurement the same as the longest side of the paper.

i’ve tried it with different pictures, some from the D40x and some from my old S3 and both have the same affect when printed on the 11x17 paper. everything gets lighter. the black areas lose alot of darkness.

i’ll look into the aspect ratio tho.
