I just ordered some projects that I will have printed as double-sided loose pages (12x12). To ensure that I get full-bleed, I created the projects as 12.25x12.25, as per other instructions I found on your website. However, as I was creating the finished product, a warning came up telling me essentially that I didn't have 12.25x12.25 pages and that if I didn't want white around the edges, you could fix it for me but there may be some stretching. I pushed the "fix" button because I definitely don't want white edges, but I also don't want any strange stretching. Why did this warning come up when I definitely had 12.25x12.25 JPGs? Will the images on my pages really be stretched?
