Sorry for what is probably a really dumb question, but. I have had my iMac for only a few months, and have been getting into the photography side of things.
I recently started printing out my favorite pictures to put into photoframes. I have a lot of frames that do not take standard size photo's, some 10cm by 10cm, some smaller etc. I have a HP 717 photo printer which prints really nice quality pictures.
My question is, how can I select the photo i like and then print it in the size i want? (say 10cm x 10cm) I have iPhoto, PSE, Photoshop CS. Would like to do it from iPhoto if possible, but any help on any of the systems would be appreciated. Sorry for what is probably a really dumb question, but.

Anyways, it's pretty easy to print whatever size photo you want using iPhoto (BTW, which version of iPhoto do you have?
Apple keeps changing the print dialog boxes). I can't comment on the other apps since I dont' use them.
Anyway, the first thing you can do is to crop the photo to the specific shape you're looking for. IPhoto allows you to constrain the ratio to the typical ratios (i.e. 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc) or a custom shape (e.g. Square, etc). Next, choose print and go through the settings for paper and such. If you don't crop your photos, you can constrain the print size to be whatever you want, but it has to be within the boundaries of the paper.
For example, you can't print a 5x7 photo if you're printing to 4x6 paper. 
The advantage of cropping prior to printing is that you can set the photo to crop out whatever you want. This way, every time you print that photo, it's going to be the same. If you don't crop it and choose the size from the Print Window, you still get a chance to 'move' the photo around within the print border, but the crop points aren't saved, so if you want to print that exact photo again, you're SOL.
The advantage is that the photo isn't edited, so if you use that photo in some other project, say a slide show or photo book, then those projects aren't affected. Anyways, getting back to your original question, I would play around with the different settings in iPhoto and just have fun.
