Why do photos get printed slightly bigger at photo printer than actual size in photoshop.?

Ok I do a lot of my own photography myself and this is really getting on my nerves. My wife had her passport photos taken and they totally suck (I mean I’m a semi-professional but these looked bad and we payed for them) so she begged me to take her photos myself. I was first rather afraid to do it for fear that I might not be able to fulfill all the guidelines, but I downloaded the guidelines and they’re pretty straight forward. So I sized the photos to be exactly 2×2 inches in photoshop so the measurements are correct and pasted 2 of them unto a 4×6 canvas in photoshop and did a test print on my laser printer and they came out exactly the right size. Then I went and printed them at one of those Kodak photoprinter things (just because it was too late to get them printed at the 1 hr service) and the photos are actually slightly larger (2 1/8 x 2 1/8) which brings the head and eye height measurements out of the correct limits. This sucks.

I do not know why this is, but my wife and i have had huge frustrations over the same problem. she takes photos and then designs them onto 4×6 cards with graphics, words, etc. and then we go to get them printed as regular photos, and every single time they get screwed up. like you said, they don’t come out as the same size and stuff gets cut off. also, most photo stores do not care enough to take 30 seconds to glance over the photo to make sure it’s printed properly. i guess you get what you pay for, so the only way is to go to some high priced specialty shop and don’t be satisfied until they print it right.

Degas and the Ballet: Picturing Movement $55.25 Edgar Degas is best known for his luminous studies of dancers. He captured his young female subjects warming up, practicing at the bar, or mid-performance with a stunning immediacy and accuracy, on canvas, paper, and in bronze. Although Degas did not consider himself part of the Impressionist movement, he is often viewed in that context. This sumptuously illustrated book offers a new framework, establishing Degas as a thoroughly modern artist who was engaged with and influenced by the then-new mediums of photography and film. Using drawings, pastels, paintings, prints, sculpture, photographs taken by the artist and his contemporaries, and samples of film from the period, renowned Degas scholars Richard Kendall and Jill DeVonyar examine the artist’s innovative approach to the subject, from his documentary mode of the early 1870s to the sensuous and expressive manner of his late work.
