Cropping Question

Marc S

Does cropping in post-production affect the resolution of let's say a 16x20 customer order through Smug?

I crop my images usually to 4x6 and 5x7. If a customer orders a 16x20 print, does SmugMug see it as a 4x6 image and then try to squeeze out a 16x20 print?

Thanks,

Andy

Don't pre-crop, it's best to let the customer crop. You set your galleries to proof delay, and you can adjust crops as needed

The answer though, is we won't allow cropping beyond the minimum resolution for a good print - the crop tool is smart like that

Thanks Andy,

I guess my concern is that I have some unwanted items in my wedding images and want to crop them out prior to posting them on my site.

I'm sort of afraid they'll print them "as is".

Thanks
