Not a distortion. You already have it as close to 83 cm x 50 cm as possible The problem is not keeping the same aspect ratio as the original.
Getting calculator out.
83 cm / 2.54 = 32.67716 inch 32.67716 x 300 ppi = 9803 pixels Edit: If that prints at 827mm wide then there is a problem with the printer.
50 cm / 2.54 = 19.68504 inch 19.68504 x 300 ppi = 5905 pixels
If you want the missing 3 mm on the margin then the size needs to be 9844 x 5906 pix.
Just to throw a spanner in the worksAre you sure you need to use 300 ppi? What is the printing process? Colour photo laser printers typically use 100 pix-per-cm (254 ppi and produce superb results with interpolation). Even with an inkjet 80 x 50 cm is a large print Does it need 300 ppi ? - ask your printer.
Would you say this is "a" possible cause or "the" cause ?
I understand what you are saying.. but I am not clear why that would make the image shorter on the right than on the left ?
If there are other possible causes I'd certainly like to hear them. I'd like to work through a series of options (if there are any other options) and then print rather than print and find it doesn't resolve it.
