- Right-Click on Photo file > Properties > Details > Note pixels counts (width and height)
- Optional: Use Aspect Ratio Calculator to ensure the shape of the photo will fit on the shape and size of the paper you wish to use for the print
- Optional: Use Pixels to Print Size Calculator (calculator #2 on the page) to calculate the Pixels to Print Size
- Use the Math.com 3-way Percent Calculator to calculate the percentage of the larger side (width or height) to obtain the percentage of 100 % when printed on your selected paper and at your desired size
