Print Size Problem

[robinhood1701]

[FONT=Arial]Hi, just started printing shots from my Canon A620 on my HP Photosmart 8450, using Elements 4, I reduced the size of a shot down to 83 X 62 mm in Photoshop, but when I printed it out on the 8450 on HP 6 X 4 Tabbed paper, it actually came out as 88 X 65 mm! in previous 6 X 4 prints I thought I had lost a little, can anyone help where I went wrong please?

It's to do with the size of the image you produce. Your average point and shoot digi cam takes pictures in a 4:3 ratio, which actually equates to a size of 6x4.5 - you'll see lots of labs offering this option now. SLRs and DSLRs take photos in the more traditional 3:2 ratio, which equates to the 6x4 print size.
