I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question. I am not sure which one to use.

I am wondering about framing. It seems a standard size picture out of my camera (Nikon D7000) prints very well at 12X18 at Costco. Trouble is, that is not a standard size frame. I have a lady that wants to buy one of my pictures and I am not sure what to do about framing. How would you all do it?

Thanks, Ron

    The 3:2 aspect ratio of most sensors in general is not conducive to framing, so you need to crop a little to fit in a standard frame. Hopefully you have enough real estate on the aforementioned photo.

    You have many choices grasshopper...............you can buy mats and frames from Frame Destination for almost any image size you want, or you can crop your image to any size you want. There are no limits.
