aspect ratio pricing

Is it possible to set prices in galleries based on an aspect ratio template?

For instance, I just shot a wedding (yay! First one!) and some of the images are square (1x1 aspect ratio) and others are more standard (2x3). The galleries are organized by portion of the event, like reception or ceremony and so forth, rather than image format.

So is there a way via smugmug to say that all 1x1 images should be priced like so, and all 2x3 images should be priced like so? In other words, I don't want the 5x5 image size available for the 2x3, but for the 1x1, and so forth. Does that make sense?

Thanks in advance!

    Yep! Makes perfect sense!

    Nope! :D

    You're not gonna wanna hear this, but due to the cropping feature and the ability to order prints in all sizes regardless of original dimensions, I don't think Smugmug has made any (easy) provision for this. Although there are some options I don't recognize in the quick pro pricing section, so maybe. You CAN of course always go in and individually price images, and exclude those that don't fit the aspect ratio you want to offer. For example, I sell mockup magazine covers that I only offer in the authentic 8.5x11 size. Other options are just not listed when purchasing. Sounds like a lot of work for a full gallery though!

    Good luck!
