Q: 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.
In the "Print" dialog select to save the PDF as an image file (jpeg, tiff)
Or use an external editor to add borders to your image.
