William, I see two issues in your posts:
1. You are still hung up on your camera shooting "an original size as 16.4 x 10.8" inches despite a number of us telling you this is totally meaningless. Get to know what pixel resolution your files have and forget about those inch numbers - Your camera doesn't know what an "inch" is. Specifically, the D7000 shoots 4928x3264 in RAW and JPG Large, 3696x2448 JPG Medium, and 2464x1632 JPG Small. Given those numbers, note that the aspect ratio (the shape of the rectangle of those images) from your camera is 3:2, meaning that the long side is about 1.5 times as long as the short side, and this is important for issue #2 below...
2. You can't force something that is one particular shape to look like some different shape without making adjustments. You need to understand that the aspect ratio of your D7000 images means that without making any adjustment you can print common sizes like 3x2, 6x4, 12x8, or 30x20 inch without any issue (because these all have the long side 1.5 times the short side), however, any other size where the long side is not 1.5 times the short side will mean you need to adjust your image. So when you say you want a 13 x 10 inch print, you will need to do something because 13 divided by 10 is not 1.5. Typically you would put the numbers 13 and 10 in a crop tool which would force a bounding box to always give you a rectangle of that shape and you would drag it on your image to select what you want to lop off your original so you end up with the right 13:10 shape.
Another option to adjust the image to fit instead of cropping would be adding a border around the image in a way that the result is the shape you want (eg. more border in one dimension than the other). You mentioned you use PS. You can do this by using the canvas size function. Another option to make it fit is stretching the image but that generally looks quite terrible, so forget about that idea.
I hope this helps.
