What do you mean by very narrow? Is it compressing the pictures vertically? What are the actual measurements of the printed image?

Panoramas require special consideration when printing. The image size is not going to be standard to fit regular sized papers. For your 13x19 paper you can print a max of perhaps 18 inches long but the panorama might be a 1:2, 1:3 or 1:4 ratio. Meaning for example that if the panorama is a 1:3 then the image will print 6 inches by 18 inches.

What are the actual image dimensions?

yes exactly as you point on the 19/13 paper printed as 16x3.5
I just want more wide How change ratio to make at list 18x6
For future reference better not use camera panoramic creation ,but use my regular K 3 and later add few image all together use ICE

If I understand correctly, you are saying the original image has a ratio of 16:3.5 (width:height). That's very wide. You can easily adjust the print settings to get 18" wide, but it would still only be 3.5*18/16=3.94" tall.

Maybe you want to crop the image. Open the Lightroom cropping tool in the Develop module. You can adjust the aspect ratio to 18:6 (aka 3:1), then shift the crop bars to get the desired composition before printing.

Don't some professional printers use a roll? So that the only size limit would be the height?

You would have to make it 27 inches wide...

3.5*27/16=5.9 inches tall.

Cropping it to a 3:1 ratio will make it 18 inches wide and 6 inches tall, but you will lose the quite a bit of the photo.

Correct. But if you want the full panorama printed you can get it for about $7.25 + shipping.

When you crop the edges off, the photo will become less wide, and you'll be able to fit more height onto the same page. Experiment with the cropping tool in Lightroom and you'll get a better idea.

I had a good experience with ezprints recently. I printed a 30 inch tall, 60 inch long picture that ended up to be $52 bucks (there is a coupon code on their website). It came on a fuji archive paper.
