Image Crop size

Froggy

Can someone help me with the best crop size for uploads, I find that when I crop to say 8x10 at 300 dpi 4x6 and 5x7 don't print the entire image, so is there a pefect size to uploaded images at that will cover all of the print sizes.

No. There is no one aspect ratio that covers 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10. Your buyers/you need to use the crop adjust tool - or do what I do and upload different aspect ratios (ie. my gallery will have a 223_4x6 and a 223_5x7 which I have cropped differently).

Also, 4x6 and 8x12 are the same ratio - so consider that instead of 8x10.

Hi Froggy,

Upload your FULL SIZE images, don't recrop. Let your customers do it. And set your galleries to Proof Delay, so if they don't exactly crop perfecly, YOU CAN recrop for them 99% of buyers get it right.
