How to print a nice borderless picture

I am an amateur phtotographer, I have a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II inkjet printer, it can print up to 13″x19″, it came with Adobe Photoshop Element 6.0, it really bothered me that I could not print borderless pictures, after google and test for hours, now I can print the perfect borderless pictures, I got some nice and cheap frames from Walmart, put the framed pictures at the bar room in my house, I look at them more than the nice paintings on the wall, now I don’t have to go to Walgreens or Costco for photo prints, just need to buy ink and papers from Amazon : )

here is the steps to print a nice borderless picture:
1. resize the original picture in Edit mode of Photoshop Element
if the picture size is not proportioanl like paper size, choose either max width or max height to fit the paper, say the picture size is 9″x15″, paper is 8.5×11, I would resize picture height 15 to 11, keep proportional resize.
2. choose printer Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II
3. choose color handling by Photoshop Element (not printer to handle color)
4. choose printer profile (paper type) say Canon paper plus glossy II
5. choose rendering intent Perceptual

Pocket Camera for Panorama Picture

I like my compact camera Sony DSC WX1 , it works better than all my other cameras in low light condition, the panorama feature blows me away, take a look at this picture I took, I did not even read the manual when I took this picture, I turned the setting dial to panorama mode, held the shoot button, sweeped from left to right, released the button, and it was done.

This following link is information about Song DSC WX1,

“Sweep Panorama Mode reaches beyond the traditional wide angle lenses to let you capture expansive, breathtaking shots of landscapes or skyscrapers. Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera does the rest.”
