[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 511224, member: 12496"] I can't see how that 4:3 conclusion is possible? The problem is that print paper comes in many sizes, about anything except 4:3. :) Most paper sizes do not match our camera pictures, so cropping to fit is necessary. Your method of leaving white space for 16:9 is one way, but for borderless printing, we have to crop the image (if we want a choice about what gets cropped). Compact cameras do take 4:3 pictures, but this shape does not fit the paper sizes. DSLR cameras take 3:2 picture, which does fit 6x4 paper. For example, here is a list of print sizes available at mpix.com (offers a wide choice). They also offer an option to "print full image" which is your method of leaving white space instead of cropping it. Wallets 2.5x3.5 3.5 x 5 4 x 4 4 x 5 4 x 6 5 x 5 5 x 7 6 x 9 8 x 8 5 x 15 8 x 10 8.5 x 11 8 x 12 10 x 10 9 x 12 This one is 3:4. None of the others are. 10 x 13 12 x 12 10 x 15 5 x 30 11 x 14 10 x 20 12 x 18 12 x 24 16 x 20 16 x 24 20 x 20 20 x 24 20 x 30 24 x 36 Of these, the common (popular) aspect ratios are: 3:2 for 6x4 or 12x8 4:5 for 8x10 or 16x20 5:7 for 5x7 or 2.5x3.5 wallet DSLR are 3:2, and compact cameras are 4:3.
