Question about cropping in negative space on Aperture

I have a question about cropping on aperture. I would like to print a photo that is 6 x 10 inches. No photo company prints this size, so I was going to print 8 x 10 and physical cut out the extra space. Unfortunately my photo is already zoomed in and i can't figure out a way to crop and include negative space. Is there a way to do it on aperture. Should I use a different software program. And when i print to Wallgreens or shutterfly, they just strech or crop the image even further. Sould I be using a better printing company?

Thanks!

Aperture 3, iOS 6.1.4

You can add blank areas to your image by printing the image to a new image:


  • Select the image in Aperture and use "File > Print".
  • Then set up a 10x8 paper size and disable the "Crop to fill" option.
  • Set the margins to zero inches.
  • Select to print to PDF.
