Svoje dimenzije lahko vnesete sami, da bodo ustrezne za določen okvir ali prostor. Če izbrana velikost ne bo skladna z razmerji izvirne slike, bomo umetniško delo orezali ali podaljšali s pomočjo ogledalnega odraza ali barvno polnega roba. Pred začetkom proizvodnje vam bomo poslali digitalni predogled za potrditev.
Upoštevajte, da predogled na zaslonu ne prikazuje dejanskega orezovanja ali podaljševanja. Le digitalni predogled bo natančno prikazal končno kompozicijo.
