Hi Roy,

On a 4x6 it's a small margin, but it's still visible. I have been able
to reduce the difference by adding just a bit at the bottom (in a
landscape oriented photo). It's just weird. I have been trying to work
out the margins. I understand how the printable area works. I have
just composed a photo on a 4x6 that *can* be centered within the
printable area of the paper, respecting the minimal margins (it
appears to be 3.76 inches on a 4" high paper), and still it will print
one margin smaller than what is said to be the minimum margin at the
bottom and the opposite one larger. I guess it wouldn't be too
difficult to compensate manually, but it's just a pain to have to
spend so much time fixing something that should be done automatically.

The smaller than specified margin is always on the bottom of a
landscape format photo or to the right of a vertical one.
