A long time ago when printing you could crop the image to avoid using masses of unnecessary black ink, but I don't seem to be able to do now has anyone found the same problem and a suggestion on how to avoid this problem.

I really liked it when you could change the image as you wanted.

Hi Jacqueline Actually no I was hoping someone hear would be able to help me, I did look at the community board but the last comment on printing was several months ago I think I will do that, thanks for your suggestion.

There was a discussion about this problem a couple of years ago here:-

Not sure if it will help now or not.

The suggestions on the Rootschat link still seem relevant.

Save the image to your computer, then open in what ever photo viewing program you use.
Use the program to crop to your specifications.

I do that a lot with PR baptisms or marriage entries.

Thanks for those suggestions why when they had a good way of changing the image they had to change it. Sometimes I think they have nothing better to do.

Just had a reply from Ancestry and they say they do not have a facility for cropping - I liked the old method.
