Print won’t do what you want. You’ll need to export the image, then email the resulting file. To export at 2”x10” you’ll have to define a custom Image Export Preset since that’s an oddball ratio. And this assumes the image has already been cropped to the desired 1:5 ratio.
Jim,
Thank you for the reply. Is there a resource where I can find more detail on how to define a custom image export preset and cropping to a 1:5 ratio? I went to my local Apple store and they could not help me. I do have “The ApertureExpert’s In depth getting started with Aperture 3” Thanks again
I would start with the Aperture Users Manual, which is pretty comprehensive.
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/
The short version…
-For cropping, define a “custom” crop using the aspect ratio drop-down in the crop dialog.
-The preset is a bit more complicated, but you can duplicate one of the existing presets and use it as a guide. The manual has lots more info.
