Guys, I may be having a blonde moment but please correct my moronical thinking if you can.

I created a collage of 150 photos using Shape Collage (which of course took a few hours to get how I wanted it) and saved it as a JPEG (didn't see the option for PSD :mad:). I sized it for A1 @ 300dpi (9933x7015 pixels / 59.4 x 84.1 cm) in landscape, only to now discover when I go to get it printed that standard sizes here are 60x90 cm and would need to have a frame made to fit an A1 picture!!

Now obviously the ratios are different so either I have to stretch the A1 image to fit 90cm wide (tried it = fat faces, yuck) or have white borders on the left and right of the photo to scale it up from 84.1 cm - 90 cm without losing aspect ratio. The stupid program didn't save the project file as an editable file type so I would have to start again from scratch and I really don't have time for that.

Is there another option that I'm not seeing? Do you think it might work to import the collage as one JPEG and add maybe an additional 10-15 photos along the right or left edge to fill the missing 5.9cm?

Try cropping it with the size input into the boxes.

Otherwise, if you're concerned about loss of quality or image then start it again.
 
Unfortunately due to the nature of the pictures (all couples shots) any cropping results in cutting off of me or the other half in a number of shots.
 
Think so too, but the white borders will have to remain to fit the picture frame - damn me for leaving things to the last minute!!
 
Can always get a custom mount cut? Mounts are normally pretty cheap (say a tenner) and will mean you can get the the print in the frame without white borders. It will look more professional than leaving white borders on the image, which is about the only other way if you don't want to redo it.
