[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 510864, member: 12496"] I have not seen your picture, so no clue what crop works for it. See [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/resize.html#aspect"]Image Resize - Cropping, Resampling, Scaling[/URL] for a chart of common aspect ratios. The problem is that you said your image was 3648x2081, which is 1.75:1. That is very near 16:9, which camcorders shoot, and is the bottom entry in that chart, an image that is long and thin compared to more regular images. 8x12 is called 2:3, which is 1.5:1, and is what DSLR and 35mm film cameras shoot. This is a longer image than say 16:20, which is 5:4, or 1.25:1. Compact cameras shoot 5:4, which is also 1.25:1, which is somewhat more square. The problem is the image has to fit the papers shape. Different size papers are different shapes. It is a common feature in many photo editors to be able to declare a crop shape like 4:5 or 2:3, and then any crop box you can draw will be that shape. If the image subject is tall and thin, and just won't fit regular paper sizes, I'd suggest printing it for the Full image, but with unused white space on the paper. Like 20x11.4 printed on 20x16 paper. Print shops can do that, if you make it clear what you want, and if they can be bothered to turn off the automation to do it.. Then you (or a framing shop) can cut a 1:75:1 hole in a 16x20 white matt, and put it in a 16x20 frame, with your 1:75 picture behind it. The printed image should not be 20 inches though, it should be at least a couple inches less than the frame, in order to have the white matt all around it. Should look fine and natural. This is what framing shops do. [/QUOTE]
