Photo bleeding means

Concept

In page layout and printing, a bleed is an image or design element intentionally extended beyond the final trim line.

This extra extension prevents an unintended white edge after the printed sheet is cut to its finished size.

Application

The term describes how the photograph is positioned and extended relative to the page boundary. Among the given choices, this corresponds to photo placement.

Contrast

• Photo cropping removes outer parts of an image to change its framing or composition.

• Photo placement determines the photograph's position and extent in the page layout.

• Photo cutting refers to trimming or separating image material rather than extending it past a trim line.

• Photo colour adjustment changes tonal properties such as hue, saturation, or colour balance.

Cross-check

A bleed changes neither the photograph's content nor its colours; it is a layout treatment at the page edge. Therefore, the answer is photo placement.
