I'm just curious what crop is generally best for customers to be able to purchase prints from. 5x7, 8x10, original image ratio? These would mostly be portrait images.

    I chose to crop to 8x10 on line. It pushes the larger size, and I find cropping for a 5x7 is easier from an 8x10 versus the other way around.

    I usually crop 8x10 (and list that as such on my sales site) because that is what the customer "has been conditioned" to know about from the film years. Most still don't yet know anything about ratios and digital and crop sizes and sensor ratios and so they don't end up getting what they think they should be getting in the print. The standard 8x10 preprint crop has saved me many an explanation (or one might say argument :D ).
